Ahh good one.  Thanks for the original and inventive insight.  Oh and your screen name too, really fresh and new.  When you get even better at this, check out the emoticons...the vomitting one comes in handy next to prose like yours.

What happened?  Ian didn't make enough money salmon farming?

Nice to hear.

In passing, Jethro Tull performed one of the best rock concerts I ever attended.

Still better than the abuses of the harmonica in "rock" music. IMHO.

Wow, you can recognize Ian Anderson from the first couple notes.  Very distinctive flute style.

Hey, I kinda like it.

How did guitar get to be so damn important?

I mean, I LOVE me some good guitar work, but my God, there are other instruments, ya know?

If anything, it needs more (you guessed it) COWBELL!

As to the objection to Olde English, ...you're not Irish, are you?

(Just kidding...shades of Earnest T. Bass "He's an Englishter, and I'm an Irishster, and I hates him!!!")

Not among the best of JT or Ian Anderson granted but much more tolerable than a number of RP's offerings.

Maybe not.
Enjoy this music for what it is: a lovely suede boots feather cap journey back to eighth grade.

I have also heard this story... what's important to remember in life, you will always get artisans AND artists... if the story is true, then poor old Ian Anderson's artistry probably never made it all the way through the gene pool.
 
It's not a "story"—Ian wrote this on his website.

This is OK and I really like a lot of Tull & Ian Anderson but the accordian (an instrument which for some reason really irritates me) kind of ruins it for me.
