Now that dates this.... and me! 

 
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.

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.

I totally agree.  I have been listening to Jethro Tull most of my life, as a matter of fact "Thick As A Brick" was the first album I ever bought and I have to say that "Heavy Horses" is my favourite work from them of all time.  Ian's vocals and flute work are supreme as well as the construct of each song.................wonderful!!! 

One of my favorites.

It was meant to be a "silly comment", not a discourse expostulating how Time is a man-made construct.  It may be a bit fanciful to call the comment "goofy", though.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Liking that a lot 10 out of 10 always Jethro Tull fan, it is like a home football team to me, I am a Jethro Tull hooligan and will always vote 10/10 (even for their crappiest stuff - no, just kidding). Great song of great album, very fresh, even after 38 years or so.
