Today, AOL is running a feature on 11 Things You Did Not Know about Apollo 11. #4 on the list was Michael Collins and how his story inspired a Jethro Tull song.

How's this for coincidences..
last night I watched "Moonshot" a docu-drama on UK TV about , obvioulsy, the Apollo 11 lunar landing.
The part of Michael Collins was played by Andrew Lincoln, Ian's son-in-law...pity he couldn't convince the producers to use "For Michael Collins, Jeffrey and Me" on the soundtrack.
About Andrew Lincoln - from Wikipeadia -
"On 10 June 2006, he married Gael Anderson, the daughter of musician Ian Anderson of the rock band Jethro Tull. At the wedding, Apple Martin (daughter of American actress Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin, lead singer of Coldplay) was the flower girl. The couple's first child, a daughter, was born on 10 September 2007. Lincoln has six toes on his left foot."

It would have added to the irony had they had the sense to included the song on the soundtrack. How could they not have? Jeff

It's not unusual for cats to have extra toes...I guess Ian's daughter was profoundly affected by growing up with cats to the point of choosing a mate with cat-like toes!
