you see SFM in a whole new light, a hippie esque variation.
Yep. Like Keith told some time ago, he had started to work the song quite early, 1967 - in the middle of hippie psychedelia period, that is. There is a lot of that in "Everybody Pays Their Dues" still. It seemingly was rather late when Jagger got this new consciousness - Paris student demonstrations? - and transformed this promising catchy hippie song into a proto punk song representing so well the radicalism of crazy year 1968, as we can say in hindsight. Maybe a hit single was lost in the process, but we got something better and more lasting...
