Kenneth a Tullie on our FB page (hopefully joins us here) posted something really interesting and funny. He was at the Charlotte and Durham concerts and.. "Amazing Charlotte and Durham concerts. Capped off by an early morning elevator ride with Sir Ian Anderson Himself. Heading down to the gym,the door opened and there, alone, was the man. I didn't miss a beat and calmly (on the outside) said, Good morning Mr Anderson. He gave me the Ian look, but after a few stumbling, gushing words about how amazing the concerts were, I told him how much I enjoy the brilliance of his new music. He indulged me, but just as he was stepping out of the elevator, he said he just started working on a new project, smiled and that was that. Ian took a right, I took a left and Walked into Light. And had a damn good workout..." What would you say if you were unexpectedly caught in a lift/elevator with Ian? You might get a longish conversation if the lift gets stuck. What not to say "How come you never played Aqualung last night"

"How's the salmon farming going then?"

Is it true the new project is related to the Warchild album and will feature a string section when you tour it ?

What makes you really happy? What makes you really grumpy?

I met him in person on Friday night on the row in front of me at Charlotte. We spoke through the intermission and agreed that the show should have been H.E. Complete.
After the show I said the same thing to all members of the band and I sensed a quiet affirmation.
If I was in front of Ian anywhere I would accept his decision but would let him know how I feel. Maybe it's just as well I didn't see him after the show but maybe he knows anyway.
"Hey Ian... PLAY THE WHOLE ALBUM! Thanks for everything you did play" "Thanks for the DVD too!"

I think the baddest they ever were involved pushing Vetesse into an elevator naked so he was forced to exit in public.
