When hippies ruled the world

[Jobson, Eddie]

But that's often one of the categories the media tried to put them into, so
I am happy for them to be tagged that way by the BBC as long as I can see
some of that rare footage again. I think they only scrapped into the 'When
Rock Ruled the World' one because of background on Lemmy.

Absolutely no, in Sab's case.  They have made it clear in many
interviews that they were too angry to buy into the hippie ethos.
The obsessively negative imagery in Geezer's early lyrics should be
plenty of proof of that!
