Michael Flatley plays the flute. Michael Flatley admires Ian Anderson."There are a lot of people I have respect for. Ian Anderson (of Jethro Tull), what a remarkable man he is. Back in the days of Led Zeppelin and the big rock bands, he cut a path through the middle of them doing something so different. And he's still doing it. Hats off."www.nottinghampost.com/Michael-Jackson-fell-love-shoes-Michael-Flatley/story-12216176-detail/story.htmlWhat about a collaboration between... and the Lord of the Flute ? I'm sure Ryan would be capable of some of the dance moves- probably in the blood line.

"... influences. You know, all kinds of people like Steve Lukather, and Al DiMeola, the jazz guitarist, and Steve Vai, and the guitar player from the Red Hot Chili Peppers...these are people who have been in some little way have been, in a little bit, inspired by Jethro Tull.
My daughter was having lunch or dinner or something with Michael Stipe from R.E.M. a year or so ago. And [laughs] when he found out who her dad was, he was kind of over the moon! It was sort of a big thing..."

Didn't realise that Howard Jones is an admirer "Sporting a shocking pink tailored suit and his trademark spiky haircut, Jones clearly loved this audience connection and performing in the venue; his voice had a far more soulful tint throughout the night, while the keyboards had an almost gospel edge to them. He also unleashed plenty of amusing stage banter, including the tale of a record label man who told him that eventual hit "No One Is To Blame" was a mere b-side (which caused Jones to learn early on to "believe in your own work") and a lengthy lyrical dissection of "Life In One Day," during which Jones lightly poked fun at some of his own writing and mentioned famous flautists such as Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson and Ron Burgundy. Jones also interacted with the crowd—high-fiving people during "What Is Love," taking a photo with a fan at another time and commenting on the enthusiasm of the audience."

The cool dad character in a TV show called 'Californication' gets rid of a pesky saleswoman, who is trying to sell his teenage daughter over-priced clothes, by suggesting: 'Now go over there and sell that Jethro Tull T-shirt for $250,,,and by the way, I was at the concert and got one for $10.'

Signing ‘a hooligan’ and a Shankly team talk: how Clough set up Forest for title
The start of Nottingham Forest’s extraordinary journey from supposed relegation fodder to 1978 champions is told in this edited extract from I Believe in Miracles www.theguardian.com/football/2015/nov/11/nottingham-forest-brian-clough-i-believe-in-miraclesMartin O’Neill had the occasional lapse into insecurity even during that week of celebrations by the hotel pool in Cala Millor, drinking beer out of plastic cups and listening to his Jethro Tull tape or the cassette John McGovern had brought with him of Fleetwood Mac’s latest album, Rumours. “There was euphoria,” O’Neill remembers. “It was congratulations all round. But then, of course, you spend the next few months worrying whether we are actually capable of playing in the higher league and whether we would even get the chance. Will it be too big for us? Will the step be enormous? We knew Brian Clough and Peter Taylor wouldn’t hang around and they would be bringing in some new players.”

Okay...He's my new favorite golfer...wait, I didn't have an old favorite golfer. None of these famous names? --> Jack Niblick? Tom Topspin? Arnold Golfer? Ben HoleInOne? Fuzzy Weather? Annika SoaringAtTheFlag? Rarely Player? Greg Normal? Nick Falldown? This is the tune played on the weekends when such characters were in their prime: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBgKBJVm1p0followed by "and I'm Vin Scully, and I'll be at the 18th" or something like that. And now a word from Firestone.

Tony Hicks of the Hollies interviewed by Nick Logan in 1969
Many thanks to Sealion for finding this
If The Hollies were starting out now, what kind of music would they be playing?" I suppose if we were completely new we would be playing what everybody else is. I would probablv be playing flute with my leg cocked up in the air."
What did he think of Jethro Tull? "Love them - they are really great." Did I sense a frustrated desire despite what he said earlier? "No, 1 wouldn't like to join them because these people don't live the kind of life I want to lead. I don't know them, but I'm going on the appearance they give." But you like the music? "Yes, and if I was back at that age with all the enthusiasm for riding around in vans all over the country, l am sure I would probably like to be with that kind of group. But 1 have done all that, I couldn't go back." There was no regret in his voice, just a matter-of-fact appraisal. "I would love to do 'Living In The Past', though; I would love to stick harmonies on that. But we wouldn't, because that was a very good single and I don't think we would improve on it."

Lovely words from Tony Hicks. I agree. Just curious but did The Hollies also call themselves "Hollies" as well? Similar to the times when people introduced bands like "The Jethro Tull"

A bit too far to decipher British politics...is the Tull lover a good guy? Sadly, a certain percentage of high profile Tull fans in American media are right wing creeps ( Fox news types, etc).
