Please mention anything you've ever found was named "Jethro Tull".
It might have been a boat, a nature area or public park, a yoga pose, a type of plant, a pet, a beer, a month of the year, a type of clothing, a hair style, anything that's happened, please post that fact here!

We had a cat we called Jethro once upon a time (in south London). He was quickly renamed Piggy after his habit of hiding behind the curtains and breaking wind a lot. I'm surprised that there seems to be no steam trains named Jethro Tull which would, in my opinion, be a rather apt use of the name. There's the Jethro Tull flower: www.highcountrygardens.com/perennial-plants/coreopsis/coreopsis-jethro-tullJethro Tull is a very distinctive looking Coreopsis with large golden-yellow daisies with fluted petals. A long bloomer when deadheaded, this is a compact growing variety. Drought resistant/drought tolerant plant (xeric).

The other famous JETHRO is, of course, the character "Jethro Bodine" on the long-running American TV Show "The Beverly Hillbillies." Last year, there was the movie "Tully", starring actress Charlize Theron. Max Baer, Jr. (as Jethro Bodine)

From Wikipedia:
Nick Cave is a fan of Jethro Tull, having named one of his sons J E T H R O in honour of the group. His group, Grinderman, also covered "Locomotive Breath" during soundchecks.[103] At Cave's own request, Ian Anderson presented him with his Album of the Year trophy at the MOJO Awards in 2008.[104]

www.newburytoday.co.uk/news/plan-to-name-hungerford-streets-after-tanks-scrapped-9201262/Controversial naming plan for new Hungerford housing development scrapped By John Garvey Published: 07:00, 30 May 2021 An unpopular plan to name streets at Hungerford's new Lancaster Park development after tanks has been ditched.
In February this newspaper reported on local opposition to the bid, with town historian Dr Hugh Pihlens leading the charge.
He said of the plan: “Why, one asks? And what is the connection between an RAF Lancaster bomber crashing eight miles away in 1944 and five army tank names?”The Lancaster Park development.He suggested instead that “local field and locality names are adopted, as has been the tradition in Hungerford for decades”.
Dr Pihlens offered a list of names he considered more suitable. He concluded: “I do feel it is important to find appropriate names for these roads, as they will be a link from the 21st century to our heritage for decades to come.”
Hungerford mayor Helen Simpson said at the time: "I’ve written to West Berkshire Council...and I’ve asked if it would be possible to look again at Dr Pihlens’ suggestions.”The district council initially said it feared it was too late to make any changes but a spokeswoman, Peta Stoddart-Crompton said: “We’re looking at the legalities to ascertain whether the names could be changed at this late stage.”
Now the town council has said it is "pleased to announce that the five new street names for Lancaster Park, will reflect the choices made by Hungerford community."
The town council statement added: "After careful consultation with key interested parties and local historians in the town, the preferred choices were put forward. We are grateful to West Berkshire Council for its support and for negotiating with the developer."The new names are: Jethro Tull Lane, Pidden Mead, Beacon Rise, Reeves Close and Sanham View. The statement concluded: "We know our local historians will be thrilled to receive the news."The history behind the names is as follows:Jethro Tull – the agricultural pioneer and inventor of the seed drill lived at Prosperous Farm in Hungerford. Pidden (originally spelt 'Pedden') – Pidden and Pidden East were the two common fields immediately to the south of the current development.Beacon – the land belonged, it is believed, to Beacon Farm prior to development.Reeves – Thomas Reeves owned one of the two fields in 1817.Sanham – (originally spelt Sanum). The road past the John O’Gaunt school used to be called “Sanum Green Road”, leading to Sanham Green.
