Right now I am reading a book about David Bowie. I'm a huge Bowie fan, but didn't know that he took that much cocaine in the 70'ties... The book is written by Tobias Rüther and is called Helden, or heroes if you may... What a remarkable man... I really miss him... Ian Anderson once said that England was masters when it comes to exporting culture... (something like that) and how right he is! I can't thank you enough! Don't get me started... The list is endless when it comes to great and influential people from that area... David Bowie was inspired by a lot of different people, some of them was evil to the core, but it seems to me that he was able to use some of that, to transform it in a way, that brought about a lot of good... A little lost along the way? Probably yes, but aren't we all once in a while? If you talk to the devil, don't be surprised if he will convince you once in a while... (especially if you're constantly using cocaine... ) I wonder if David Bowie ever listened to Jethro Tull? jethrotull.com/david-bowie-1947-2016/

London was a magnet for every teenager in the 60's through to the early 70's. When you got bored with your provincial town, or city that was too far from the capital or a sleepy little village that was shocked at your choice of clothes, music, lifestyle etc you made a bee-line for London. I hitched down in 1973 to discover the concerts, the markets, the pubs, areas to discover and hopefully a more accepting broad minded community. The biggest scandal now is no one can afford to live there anymore and that has a huge negative impact on the place. My "era" was in between those videos

Don't know but worth mentioning again one of Ian's comments on Bowie's death. "Somehow, although we didn't know each other, I managed to get his phone number and he agreed to come to the session. In prompt and professional fashion he executed the desired solo lines and went on his way with the recorded words, 'I'll see you later.' "Many years later in 1997, I managed to push my way past minder heavies into his dressing room at a big German TV show we were both appearing on. I thanked him for playing on the Steeleye song and, more importantly, for serving as a role model to me in regard to offering the gift of music with no fee or royalty for performing on other artists' records, something I have always done since." www.nickiswift.com/7381/musicians-reactions-david-bowies-death/?utm_campaign=clip

I wonder if David Bowie ever listened to Jethro Tull? I reckon there's a huge possibility he listened to JT if only to see what the "competition" was doing. However in reality both acts played to a different audience at that time - Bowie to what I'd call "art/glam" rock and Tull to a kind of advanced prog rock and beyond. The difference between chalk and cheese in many ways and back when Bowie was performing Ziggy and Hunky Dory music fans were quite polarized in what they liked. Example - although Marc Bolan and David Bowie got on well their fans hated each other accusing their favourite of stealing ideas from the other. Just don't mention the Bay City Rollers

Here is a song that is not Jethro Tull, but I saw this girl performing the other day, and it was a great concert. She's very special. She has been living in Africa for years, but is living in France now. I hope you like it!

Published on Nov 9, 2016 - Tony P Jethro Tull performing Ring Out Solstice Bells on Top of the Pops in 1976. Stereo audio added. Thanks to the many posters of the original clip.
Praise be to the distant sister sun, joyful as the silver planets run.

Not bad considering Tom Jones made a 'Hit' out of it in 1968. My only chance to see them LIVE was 9/8/75 Coliseum Greensboro, NC. USA Support: The Sensational Alex Harvey Band I enjoyed most of their performance but I was there to see "War Child"...

I just couldn't help thinking about this fabulous song by The Beatles... (That's really the reason that I posted the joke in the flag counter thread...) I remember that Paul McCartney talked about this song... He sing the lines, it's getting better all the time, and John Lennon suddenly starts singing in the background... "It couldn't get much worse..." Paul McCartney uses this example to explain the genius of John Lennon... If you listen carefully, you can actually hear Lennon singing this... It always makes me laugh...
