What a great album!

Wimpy Bars are still going, though few are the survivors of the onslaught of Macdonald's and Burger King. There's one in the Broadmarsh Centre in Nottingham for sure.

For some reason, every time I hear Jethro Tull, I think of The Hobbit, or people that dress up and go to Renaissance festivals.

sounds nice on this morning.

Tull shook my world.
1970; heard Teacher, from Benefit.
Everything changed. I was 16 years old.
What a master, Anderson!

This was my first 8 track tape, and for months it was the only one I had. I almost wore it out. No one complained when we had to listen to it over and over for hours while driving around in my parents car! Great stuff.

A great Concept Album!       There are many of these running for office!

One of my favorites.

right not the best track from the album - but 
in the early 2000's I was listening on the car radio to some lovey dovey song which was also by or called aqualung - had a very sad moment thinking that in 1971 we could have something like Aqualung with a bit of social comment and interest and in 2003 or whatever we are back to airwaves full of lovey dovey anodine nothingness. What a progressive generation we turned out to be! (not)  mind you IA/JT ended up singing about girls with long legs in his male menopause which was not exactly worlds news either.

A double shot of Hell.  The Decemberists followed by Jethro Tull. I must be paying for my sins.

What a silly comment? Make you happier if he didn't wear a watch...that's just goofy. I saw him recently, great show and not sure if he was with or without watch. Really didn't matter.

Does he really need to wear that watch while performing?  I guess it matches his Rolex® codpiece.

Give Heavy Horses a shot, if you haven't already.  Their finest and most coherent album, in my opinion.

I will be picking up the Steven Wilson mixed 40th anniversary edition.

Always like that line, The yellow fingered smokey girl is looking up to me.

I once thought that I liked Jethro Tull, largely based on early FM radio. Then I listened more in recent years and realized that there is a kind of clunkiness to their music. It does not really flow, it's composed of discrete pieces that they rarely merge adequately. Still, some good songs have come out of this morass.

Now that's crescent fresh

One my wife's favourite bands.
Took me a while to get to enjoy them, and even was bored (shame on me) at a live show they had here in Israel.

But - came around and quite like them now!
Most Interesting music they have.

Was that at St Albans? I was at that gig - excellent ;-)

Reminds me of my old home, and tuff times ay school. But great track. Saw Ian last year, still out there playing - never too old eh. Time for a nice cup of tea - Skating Away on the Thin Ice of a New Day anyone? 

Saw them every time they came out to the Forum in LA - Ian Anderson played eight different instruments and Rex Reed at the time called him untalented and their music inaccessible - loved it then, love it now

is this Jack Black singing?

Is this Ron Burgundy?  Jazz flute
