not in comparison to anything else black sabbath ever made. the only reason it was even put on an album was the vietnam war, im sure.
its very nearly a "pop" song, from one of the first bands of the metal scene. *shakes head* kids these days!
I thought they did a good job of identifying themselves as non-rednecks with the chorus of Boos for Governor Wallace. It's a song you absolutely have to know to be a musician around here--the D.C. metropolitan area, a fun song to play if you have a good guitarist. I always get a kick out of it when I see kids in their 20s singing along with the band. They have no idea what the lines about Neil Young, the Governor, or Watergate are about.
It not only rocks but, incredibly, kicks ass at the same time. You are talking out of your anus as usual. But anyway: Keith Harris & Orville - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16bgO2kX3XI
