Here's why...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randi_Rhodes

Randy Rhoads was the best of the best...totally dedicated to the music. He even stopped partaking of the rock 'n roll lifestyle when he saw what it was doing to Ozzy. Randi (née Randi Bueten) clearly admired his professionalism and discipline.

Rhodes is a radio name chosen to honor Ozzy Osbourne's guitar player Randy Rhoads, whom Rhodes describes as "a consummate professional ... but he always practiced. I mean, he practiced eight hours a day. He lived to be the best."
