Ian Anderson is a smart conservative that made living outside of music. Sadly, he is an AGW believer now.

We listened to a lot of Jethro Tull when I was a soldier, especially in Germany. ( 72-73 over there) I like them but I can only take so much flute...Unless its Ron Burgundy with his "Jazz Flute" performance! Actually, I liked his Ricky Bobby "I am so paralyzed" steak knife in the thigh much, much better! lol

Ya'll keep your eyes open for a Lawrence Welk thread.
Now...that is some good chit. And made well before 1986
Ol' Lawrence had an eye for some fine lookin' wimmins at times.
Too bad they was all dressed up in high collars and long skirts.

One thing this thread did was make me get out my old vinyl copy of Aqualung. Got it blasting on the hi-fi right now...
I've got vinyl of This Was, a turntable, but no amp. Gotta fix that problem some day.

Unfortunately, I did, many times. In fact, experimented with 19 different drugs for a few years. Gave me an extra boost in the "Black Brothers gonna kill the Crackers" ( who can't do squat against them) PTSD. Terror comes in many ways, and "self inflicted" Terror ( Acid especially) is one you can't run from, at all. I am convinced the reason "Science" can't figure out exactly how it affects the brain, is because it taps into the Soulical Realm ( the Mind, Will, and Emotions) its a terrible place to intrude into... just listen to Kenny Rodgers, "What condition my condition was in...."almost funny"...unless one lived through something more horrifying. Of all my mis-spent Youth and Finances....I regret that the most. I can only now say "If YOU are OK, then I am OK"...ha
Saw them at the Frankfurt, Germany opera house in 91. Really good show. I saw the Scorpions and Tesla there too. Both bands were great. The most epic concert I attended was the Monsters of Rock at Mannheim: Whitesnake, Aerosmith, Poison, Dio and Vixen
I knew a lot of Pacific Northwest rock musicians and they are all dead. If Ian is still alive, he must have taken it easy on the drugs and booze.
