DO YOU THROW HORNS AT SHOWS? OR JUST ON A DAILY BASIS WHEN YOU GET THE URGE TO ROCK? EITHER WAY, TODAY IS A DAY TO CELEBRATE! ON THIS DATE IN 1949, RONNIE JAMES DIO WAS BORN…NOT ONLY IS HE ONE OF THE GREATEST METAL VOCALISTS, FRONTING SEVERAL ICONIC BANDS, INCLUDING BLACK SABBATH, THAT IS AFTER OZZIE GOT THE BOOT BACK IN 1979, BUT DIO IS ALSO KNOWN FOR POPULARIZING THE “DEVIL HORNS” HAND GESUTURE OFTEN USED TO SHOW AFFECTION FOR LOUD ROCK MUSIC! DIO CLAIMED HE GOT THE HAND GESTURE FROM HIS ITALIAN GRANDMOTHER WHO UTILIZED IT TO WARD OFF EVIL SPIRITS! SADLY, THE ICONIC FRONTMAN PASSED AWAY ENTIRELY TOO SOON OVER 13 YEARS AGO FROM STOMACH CANCER…BUT HIS LEGACY WILL LIVE ON FOR GENERATIONS…THROW HORNS AND ROCK OUT TO “NEON KNIGHTS” FROM THE DIO FRONTED BLACK SABBATH BACK IN 1980…AND HAPPY HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY RONNIE JAMES DIO…IT’S ROXY’S ROCK REWIND ON 105.7 THE X… ROCKS
