Dreadful, stilted, pretentious, dinosaur, quasi-rock - but this is one of the finest examples of it - so bonus points for nostalgia.  Codpieces for everyone!  Don't forget to tip your local tallowchandler.
Sorry, I know people love this tune, but...

This whole album takes me back to 1971 when in high school Bible class we study Aqualung. How about some Locomotive Breath Bill?

I read the Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree fame is giving Aqualung the 'ol 5.1 treatment.

Looking forward to that! 
 
Bought it a couple weeks ago, amazing compared to the original.  A real difference.

No, it isn't!  It's even better!  One of my alltime favourite Tull songs off one of their best albums.

Jethro Tull / Ian Anderson is such a second-round surprise. Been listening for years, but picked up the "Best of Acoustic Jethro Tull" a few years ago, and the whole collection is growing on me in a serious way. 

Saw him live in SF a year or so ago, though, and Ian's current personality didn't much work for me, kinda embarrassing in his treatment of, well, pretty much everyone. His band didn't look like they were having a good time, either.

I am really starting to like this band.  I used to be under the impression that this was just another heavy metal band not worth checking out.

My favorite song from Aqualung.  I've tried desperately to play it on the guitar.  Was pretty close for a while

The great and powerful napkin made out of paper has thus spoken. And here I thought you were only good for making sure I didn't get ketchup on my pants.

Now I will go ponder the insight you have so graciously provided. Perhaps you can join me - I'm bound to have some frito crumbs you could take care of.

And the Chrysalis (the label Tull was on) 8 tracks all had those bright apple green cases.

Back in the '70s you'd see those things with the tape hanging out, littering the side of the road where people would toss them out of their car windows in disgust!

Ahhh, good times....

I was in high school (British-type boarding school to be precise) when this was released. Loved it then. Love it now. It's 9, and I don't think it's just nostalgia.

Check out Ian Anderson on youtube if you want to do a bit of time traveling.

And to bring you back to today, check out Greg Patillo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNG9gSJKbAo . Awesome! He's the new incarnation of Mr.Anderson.

I had this on an 8-track. Funny thing about 8-tracks, when each track was up, it just faded out and changed tracks. Right in the middle of a song. Fade back in and keep on rockin'.

Perhaps it's just my age, but I didn't realize I'd missed this tune so much until I heard it tonight.

As I did walk by Hampstead Fair
I came upon Mother Goose — so I turned her loose —
she was screaming.
And a foreign student said to me —
was it really true there are elephants and lions too
in Piccadilly Circus?

Walked down by the bathing pond
to try and catch some sun.
Saw at least a hundred schoolgirls sobbing
into hankerchiefs as one.
I don't believe they knew
I was a schoolboy.

And a bearded lady said to me —
if you start your raving and your misbehaving —
you'll be sorry.
Then the chicken-fancier came to play —
with his long red beard (and his sister's weird:
she drives a lorry).

Laughed down by the putting green —
I popped `em in their holes.
Four and twenty labourers were labouring —
digging up their gold.
I don't believe they knew
that I was Long John Silver.

Saw Johnny Scarecrow make his rounds
in his jet-black mac (which he won't give back) —
stole it from a snow man.

-Ian Anderson, 1970
 
Very nice! Thanks!
