100% correct. He explained it on "a Headbangers Journey"

I can't remember the exact words, but my take on int:
It comes from Italy. He saw an old lady doing it and when he asked about it she said it is to ward off evil spirits by giving someone the evil eyes!

Honour the guys who great to you whilst you still may. Clapton, Beck, Page, Plant, Gilmour, [fill in the blank] aren't going to be around forever and are no less mortal than the rest of us. Even Keith Richards will shuffle off of this mortal coil one day.

I only discovered Dio a couple of years back and love the band. Let's all honour him by listening to a Dio tune before going to bed tonight.
