Taking a lead from the good people at Steve Hoffman's site - via our own TT www.stevehoffman.tv/forums/showthread.php?t=251399We'll ask the question... If the Rapture had happened /does happen what's the last final Tull song * you'd play and the last other band/musician song you'd play before the last Tull song... if you see what I mean ;D * song not album As usual I ask the question before thinking of an answer myself

Only one Tull song? All things considered, and to make the experience last, it would have to be Pibroch (Cap In Hand).
Non Tull song - from a list as long as my arm, it would have to be . . .
Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street
Can I have a further set of choices tomorrow?

For the Tull's an obvious choice would be Black Sunday but I'll go for Elegy
For the others the End from the Doors would be an obvious choice I'll go for an equally obvious but far lesser known one from Sun Ra's Arkestra, "Its After The End of the World, Don't You Know That Yet?"

Well Bernie, I may take a similar route, but clearly that man has been exposed as a fool and a charlatan, although, according to his next door neighbor, apparently a pretty good guy. However, while that was news, having read the Bible front to back 3 times over the course of 35 years, during last week, it dawned on my brain that I was certain within that book we were warned about naming the day and the hour, and I, for one will not be joining in at laughing at those lines, bet u won't be either. They have now popped up on billboards and are taken from the Book of Matthew 24:36 and, paraphrasing, basically say no man can name the day and the hour. At hundreds of points in mankinds history a quality case could be made for the impending end. But I do believe at no time is it so possible as now, whether it will be thru HIS intercession remains to be seen, but I cannot see how any thinking person can possibly fail to miss the weather occurences across this globe, that this is no one off, that bills are coming due towards our stewardship of this globe, separate from our day to day behaviors on it, that doubtlessly it seems to me that there will be much to answer for, such as forgetting always to put our brother before ourself. Most of the environmental concerns I believe Ian addressed so well in the later stages of that interview that Non Rabbit originally posted. Truly we reap what we sow.

In my will I have said that when I depart Look in to the Sun will be played at the funeral ( I wish I could be there ! ) so I'll go with that for pre rapture. Pre Tull - The Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald - Gordon Lightfoot.
Cheers

Mathew Pegg. After reading the interview which the numerous Ian detractors were only too eager to post to prove their point that Ian Anderson is a dictatorial asshole, which, btw, I am not discounting as being a perception of truth depending on your vantage point, as is the guy Ian MacKinnon managing his farm which I have related ad nauseum as telling me he could not imagine working for a finer gentleman, well, as to the book of Mathew Pegg, that is one I might well take a long urine on. I am more of the mindset of Prince Charles, surely not the hip viewpoint with his speech which I understand inspired Ian's lovely piece In Defense of Faiths. I don't believe any of these religions in and of themselves and their sacred texts, worthy of the deepest respects, are the problem, rather human interpretation of same, which leaves me as something more along the lines of a spirtitualist moreso than Christian, Moslem, Jewish etc. But again I will never be making light of those words.

As there's just a chance of being looked after by one at THE END, I'll choose "Nursie" Non Tull. Adagio (Nimrod) from Elgar's Enigma Variations Op.36

My current choice of songs and taking a lead from Duck's
Tull choice - Reasons For Waiting - headphones secured tightly on lugs, eyes closed tight and lulled to whatever? by the intro/ words and the voice.
"..and the memory stays clear with the song that you will hear. If I can but make the words awake the feeling..."
Non tull choice I'd have to go a bit patriotic and say goodbye to Alba with The Silencers version of Wild Mountain Thyme..
"..and we'll all go together ..."

OK, I'm going to have another go Finale Tull song, "A Passion PLay". Non Tull but with a Tull conection "The Radetzky March" played on the mighty Wurlitzer at The Tower Ballroom, Blackpool Here's the only clip of that on youtube. Pity it was taken by a 9 year old
