“Flowers in your hair? Do me a favour, the only flowers anyone saw in Aston were the ones you threw in the hole after you croaked it at the age of 53 'cos you'd worked yourself to death” —Ozzy Osbourne ☠️

According to Osbourne, Black Sabbath were a visceral reaction to the "hippy-dippy" songs like San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Some Flowers In Your Hair) that saturated the airwaves after 1967's Summer Of Love.

 

"Flowers in your hair? Do me a favour," he seethed in his 2010 autobiography.

 

"The only flowers anyone saw in Aston were the ones you threw in the hole after you when you croaked it at the age of 53 'cos you'd worked yourself to death."
