Не один старый лабух и не один раз говорил мне в те годы, когда мне случалось поносить длинношерстных фаворитов советского пту, кгб и влксм, "не волнуйся, они там не себя слушают, а нормальную музыку солидных людей, а это всё на экспорт в третий колхозный мир".
И не обязательно быть старым лабухом, чтобы в наши дни разобраться, что кому адресовано. Если бы Саббат мыслил на уровне своих совковых аналитиков, тем более - разделяя их селянские вкусы, они бы и звучали на уровне совковых "саббатов":

"That got blown out of proportion," Iommi said with a laugh. "I love heavy rock, but I don't sit and listen to heavy rock because I do that."
Iommi said it's not the first time his musical detours have surprised Sabbath fans.
"I'll never forget I was driving through Hollywood and I had some Frank Sinatra on, because I like Frank Sinatra," he said. "I was at the light and another car pulled up and the people inside looked over and recognized me and then realized what I was playing. The look on their faces…."
