Random question off the top of my head Has there been any band/musician of 40 + years standing made a new album that surpassed any of their early offerings? Graceland (1986), surpassed all his earlier albums by what, 20 million in sales, I'm thinking. Forever Changes, the third studio album by Love, released late 1967.

I believe that Putin believes that he can attack at least with tactical nuclear weapons against most of the European countries… Then they will probably send a message to America to sit tight… If they don’t… they will send nuclear bombs against America… America will then probably back down, because if they retaliate it will be suicide… I believe that he will do this soon… Then we just have France and Great Britain to retaliate, but if they do, they will be destroyed… I believe that The Russian Federation will win this coming war… We are in great danger right now, and this may be the last words that you will hear from me… I have tried to get the family to move to the country side… But they won’t listen… My ex has a house that we could try to escape to, but will it help? I believe that our only hope is if the Russians themselves assassinate Putin, but that will probably not happen… I'm sorry to be so pessimistic... Russia is playing a very dangerous game... That's for sure... May God protect us all… Me too. I tried to get my wife, two years ago, to move somewhere nondescript. Well, some people you just can't reach. I'm sorry about this post... but I got really scared... I really hope that I'm wrong... and I am not easy to scare... I have experienced a lot of scarry things the last 4 years, and I don't know why, but I haven't been scared. Strange, because I thought that I was a wimp! Today I was scared... really scared... I have been paying attention to this for a very long time... (Getting a little paranoid here.) It's a nightmare!! Russia is doing dangerous things... Drones over Swedish Nuclear Plants??? Probably the Russians... Joint military drils together with China... Novichok used to assassinate people in England... The violations of our airspace... The nuclear threats... Now the war in Ukraine... Putins ruthlessness and evil mind... et cetera, et cetera, et cetera...

The violations of our airspace... The nuclear threats... Now the war in Ukraine... Putins ruthlessness and evil mind... et cetera, et cetera, et cetera... I completely understand. There's absolutely no need to apologize. There's no good reason why the living beings on the earth have to ever deal with most of what we've had to deal with the past one hundred years. But, there's really only one way to go about your life when this stuff presents itself. You just have to believe that everything will be alright, and go from there. Deep breaths, healthy, peaceful living, and faith go a very long way towards keeping one's sanity.

It took a lot of bravery to do what that lady did live on Russian tv. Without trying to get too political, it's people like her who will stop the war and make this world a better place.

Three more freezing days left, and then winter can say goodbye until next January. Whoever said, March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb, is wrong again. So, let me be the first to say....
Whan that Aprill with his shoures soote The droghte of March hath perced to the roote, And bathed every veyne in swich licour Of which vertu engendred is the flour; Whan Zephirus eek with his sweete breeth Inspired hath in every holt and heeth The tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne...
Bring on Spring!

None other.
In high school we were forced to recite the first several lines with the correct dialect. It turned out that I fell in love with Chaucer's work. Every spring I think of the Canterbury Tales. What beautiful writing.

From Martin Webb:
Hi Graham,
Just a quickie, to warn fellow fans. The Forum has a couple of posts with a link to a live stream of a JT concert this eve, Beware! Almost certainly a scam.
Apart from the fact that Ian (still can't say Jethro Tull) isn't playing this eve, there are clues in the blurb talking about "our" band and "we cannot wait to sing for you all". If it was legit, it would have been on the official JT site or FB.
You might want to post a note urging caution.
Cheers,
Martin
Thanks Martin - probably the Tull trolls causing mischief as usual.

Earlier today those posts were deleted. After a message from Dave Rees I decided something was not normal about this. The LINK was on Facebook but also a strange website which had info for tickets The text was translated from RUSSIAN to English and changed the venue as well.
Either way it used a Promoter image from BRAVO which seemed legit. The fact that Jerusalem Post and Hadran Productions announced these dates seemed normal. However, nothing has been posted in the April 2022 Tour schedule as of yet. jethrotull.com/tour-dates/ I assume TULL will still play on April 19th and 20th this week !!!

HIRING A BAND IN 1969 Tull in the £350 bracket. Just below The Small Faces, Fleetwood Mac and....The Tremeloes! Did they take the Oxford gig?

In early message machine days I used the taped opening riff of 'Aqualung' and figured anyone who didn't know it was my phone had no business calling but then I switched to Guns and Roses for awhile ( What we have here is failure to communicate). I remember holding the unwieldy message machine by the speaker to make this fun happen.
