@[tejasdatta:32209] This song was written 1975 or prior, so where did he get Year of the Fox from? The Titan Calendar didn't exist until the 80's. The Fox doesn't exist in any ancient zodiac calendars that I can find and the only other mention is in Primal Astrology, which is probably some other made up BS. I know, I know, its all made up BS.. But I'm curious because this song has significance to me. I'm 55 years old, I've been a Dio fan most of my life. My wife is 26 years younger than me, and a Filipina. Her mother is only a few years older than me and happens to be a Nazareth fan. More than anything I think this illustrates the power of American culture. So you have to imagine .. A Filipino farmers wife in a rural area, listening to classic rock in the 70s all the way over there... So I'm giving my girlfriend at the time a lesson about Ronnie James Dio, we're discussing him and his history and what a great influential singer he was. And when we get on the subject of Rainbow she recognizes the album cover and says she used to sing that song when she was little. And I say what song, And she says a song about the fox. And I'm like, OMG ,youre kidding me. That is such an obscure deep track, to have you know it is mind blowing. And I've seen some mind blowing things. I've seen The Scorpions Wind of Change banged out on a grand piano in the lobby of a 5 star hotel in Sri Lanka. I thought it had some Japanese symbolism to it, but I cant figure out where the hell the year of the fox comes from. |
