Or Jethro Tull, for that matter. Ian Anderson's lyrics have always had a fairly anti-establishment thread running through them, to be sure. But I can't really think of an example where he aligned himself with the hippie movement overtly, and he has even taken an occasional shot at the hippies.

OK so who would you consider a hippie band then (talking UK now, as both of these were)?
I never really thought much about UK bands being hippie oriented. Probably because I really liked the electric blues influenced stuff coming out of there. Of course by the early 70's the Beatles certainly looked the part and their lyrics leaned heavily in that direction too. Drug use/experimentation was in high gear (pun intended) on both sides of the big pond. I suppose Tull's Aqualung and Thick as a Brick both have songs that might be considered anti-establishment anthems... but it's San Francisco that really comes to mind for me... and the Yippies at the Democratic Convention in Chicago.
I'm tired of living with freaks,
with tongues in their cheeks.
Awed by the sight of a man...
but still I don't know who I am.
