Tony Iommi’s Mom pretty much invented Heavy Metal.
Sort of. But she raised that guy right. And he went on to make the music that raised millions of kids wrong.
All he had to do was lose his fingers first. No, seriously.
Also, Free Speech would look very different if not for 2 Live Crew. That was not a typo. The highest rappers in the land took on the highest court in the land. Guess who won.
All true. Watch and be educated.

All the love we got was fantastic, but perhaps coolest of all was getting word from Tony’s manager that he saw it and “loves it.”
