From Tull news, the Google kind. ;D Should I laugh or should I cry? Let me guess... Johnny Marr - Johnny Marr Scared Off Twitter By Critics - Rocker Johnny Marr vowed to take a back seat on Twitter.com after critics ruined his "fun". www.contactmusic.com/news/johnny-marr-scared-off-twitter-by-critics_1363840"The next thing I knew I had 400 people, mostly women, calling me sexist because they think I'm saying they're too stupid to know a bl**dy Jethro Tull record, when in fact, I'm kind of making fun of the boys for being silly trainspotters about stupid stuff." Don't see what I do not want to see, you don't hear what I don't say. Won't be what I don't want to be, I continue in my way.Unfortunately I had to see, see, see.

I'd be careful about who i teased if my main claim to fame was being Morrissey's helper-boy.

Forever have a problem with the space program, perceiving it largely as a device, heretofore with guilt laying largely with the USA and Russia, as a device to further military exploration, the very exacting, though clearly not exacting enough, drones for instance. Six and a half billion people at the moment, hear figures as high as 20 per cent starving, with those children u see, in 40 years to see 9 billion, and, I suspect, starvation at a point where it will not be at all foreign to North America and Western Europe who largely have been spared for 80 years or so, where starvation has been a talking point, not a reality, that reality where absolutely nothing else matters, damn sure not American Idol or even pretty pics from Mars. I say this because in effect, the better served inhabitants of this planet have seized the opportunity to go for dessert, re the space program, without making sure their brothers have been fed. Something biblical in there for people who claim to be, that very scenario of looking after the least of your brothers is one well travelled in that...book. And just what is it of value that we have found out there, alot technologically I suspect, even many things possibly not military. But should our knowledge of our solar system be greater than our knowledge of our own life giving oceans?

Just tossin this out here notionally, seems to be the spot, the following...I would like to see a reading of opinion of Ian Anderson's voice by those of his fan base over 52, and those under it..Not that I cannot often see problems maybe all the way back to HH, but I swear I have also seen what I consider to be some of the best singing of his career in the past 10 years, though primarily on record. And reading responses on You Tube claiming, not without valid argument, that his voice is shot and has been forever, I do wonder what percentage of folks making this familiar claim are not yet old enough to see the realities of the gradual, and after 50 maybe not so gradual reduction of several physical abilities. Though not in me of course

I can make a scant contribution to this not from an age point of view but as someone who was a Tull Dipper. I was there at the beginning (almost) however I fell by the wayside a few times then saw the light and came back finally and fully commited six years ago. Point being I had to backtrack on a few albums - I nearly had kittens when I heard Crest for the first time. I should have had expert advice on what albums and in what order to backtrack. That'll do for now. I might have more if I get back up

Attention all Jethro Tull fans; you can't make this $hit up. (The trophy should be shaped like Jethro Tull.) Space Shuttle Enterprise: Icon of 1970s Unstylish Design (Photos)www.thedailybeast.com/galleries/2012/07/18/space-shuttle-enterprise-icon-of-1970s-unstylish-design-photos.htmlWe know what 1930s objects look like: streamlined in black and chrome. We know the look of the ‘60s: Space Age in plastic and DayGlo. But how about 1970s design? That seems to be an era whose look we can barely pin down. Maybe the problem is that the ‘70s were a decade when the dominant aesthetic was an anti-aesthetic—a commitment to function (and funk) that was so extreme that looking good could be a drawback. Which of course just redefined what counted as looking good. The space shuttle Enterprise, being unveiled July 19 in its new home at the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum in New York, may be the icon of a ‘70s love of pure function, as I’ve argued in the Daily Beast. But this Web gallery also presents other contenders for the so-bad-it’s-good prize. (The trophy should be shaped like Jethro Tull.) – Blake Gopnik I'm with you L.E.M. though it's a shame that it had to be you.

Instructions in Etiquette to "Johnny Foreigner" for the Olympics www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2012/jul/16/etiquette-guide-visitors-london-olympics• Canadians: I'm afraid that while you are here you will be repeatedly mistaken for Americans and blamed for all sorts of stuff you had nothing to do with. Unless you can think of a quick and simple way to distinguish yourselves at a glance – flower in lapel? Saddle shoes? Maple leaf eyepatch? – then you are just going to have to suck it up. • Americans: While you're here, why not pretend to be Canadian? Very few Britons can tell the difference, and it will allow you to rescue yourself from awkward conversations about the death penalty.

Don't tell me ungrateful Brits need to be reminded that the former leader of the Canadians was so good a sport he tolerated his wife putting out for Jagger and the Mounties were willing to agree that a bowling ball size piece of heroin was indeed Keith's personal supply, forgivable via a little benefit concert in Toronto....I swear, short memories.

Bait! Where's the hook? Oh, yeah. blamed for all sorts of stuff you had nothing to do with. Now that looks familiar.Tip - If you see politeness, it's usually a Canadian. ZING! Burn the wagon and chain the mule. The past is all denied. There's no time for everything. No time for everything.

Hey steelmonkey, Bernie and the Jethros, very funny. Canadians are usually funnier, note the Canadian comedic talent America claims as its own.

Very few Britons can tell the difference, and it will allow you to rescue yourself from awkward conversations about the death penalty. From the same article: Pay no attention to those bow-tied etiquette experts you sometimes see on CNN International, telling you how to behave while in Britain. These people are generally of dubious provenance, normally live in California and tend to peddle advice that is either irrelevant or out of date. For example, they will often say that Britons love queuing and are so fond of apologising that they will often say "sorry" even when something isn't their fault. In reality, Britons are just as likely to jump to the front of a queue and then punch the person behind them for coughing. It all depends on how muggy it isSorry for posting this but I thought I'd jump the queue and get in first

Thanks to this thread for reminding me of the world wide infection of ignorance. Though it is no longer within my financial scope, thank you for a reminder of why travels outside my country were often unpleasant, merely by station of birth. You will be hard pressed within Tull world certainly to find a more active critic of the entire history of my country, but believe me with exclamation points I am hardly absolving the rest of the world, all complicit in various insidious crimes. I well remember throughout the UK and in Canada, most specifically Quebec the amount of abject USA hatred I was met with. Not ok and big time cowardly. Not the type to wear flags on my back pack but in those cases truly I wish I would have. Damn f**king right I'm an American, wish I could say I was proud of it, but I damn sure won't be apologizing to any of the other citizens of this planet, particularly in the Western world where people in general have something to eat everyday. Won't be apologizing for my Dad and thousands of other very young Americans who put down their books, jobs, whatever to stand an outstanding chance of seeing their lives end at 18. Or in my Dads case to see Der Vaterland, by blood a signifigant part of his lineage, with an M16 in his hand or somesuch. Never even told me about that nightmare until 15 years ago, one of 3 times I have seen him cry. Or my Grand Dad as a damn doughboy in 18. But never you mind, just call next time you need one of our brains blown out. My Dad could even tell you what it looked like. Btw the sole people who were regularly civil to me in those 3 UK visits were Germans, and believe me I will never forget it. Normally I am entertained by such aspects of the Olympics as I see, even pulling for Canada against the USA a few years ago for the hockey championship, as I knew it meant so much more to them, nearly their national identity. This time my message to the USA team is kick ass, (yeah I know u will) don't bother taking names, it don't matter. In fact maybe do an Ali on the fallen, ala his second Liston fight when he toyed with him, taking his time knocking him out, all the time demanding of him, "What's my name?", (as Liston had refused to acknowledge Ali's Muslim conversion, from the name Cassius Clay, the last name having been that of his families slaveowner a couple of generations earlier, who himself would appear to have been an immigrant from the British Isles. Presuming btw, u are referring to the Saturday Night Live crew you can have every last one of them SAVE FOR the genuinely brilliant Phil Hartman. NYC or Chicago alone can hold its own vrs the rest of the world for ace wit. Having said all that believe me I know who the biggest terrorist on this planet is, with a home base of Wall St. But it also is the land where my Mother and Father were born so one treads on that around me at very great peril.

Let me be the first Canuck in line to say God bless America. Many good times I have had in the land of the free. #1 in hospitality. Thanks man¢¾ Or as I always say, Bless God America. And knowing full well that that could only truly happen with full restitution to its original inhabitants and all who built this empire as slaves, most normally thinking education and land grants, 40 acres and a mule, ye know?. Would require a complete re calibration of the worlds financial structure, but I actually believe there is often a financial return in doing the right thing. But it still is the land I was born in, and people are fricking people. By all means watch this doc, where these guys who are now buddies of mine retrack the trail of Marco Polo, and for the most part in the fashion he did it. Totally two frickin guys from NYC, can think of few better emissaries for the USA this side of the Grateful Dead or Duke Ellington. watch.thirteen.org/video/1328356374/

First off, as a Canadian, I want to open a maple leaf eye patch pub, with patented maple beers and waitresses with amazing maple patch outfits, second, that Joni Mitchell is both very funny and only occasionally mistaken now as an American member of Crosby Stills Nash Young and Mitchell and that thirdly, I forget because this new post text area excludes reading the original thread page where I get all my ideas. DANG!

Just to pause for a while and to provide an interlude in the proceedings, this is a video produced by a friend of mine.
Yes, it really does light up in the dark.

Don't really see a Beatles specific spot, momentarily curious, spurred on with watching an excellently created George Harrison video to the Anthology version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps, with a question directed certainly to any Liverpudlians here, or to people in the UK. I merely wonder if possibly my favorite Scouse terminology, GROTTY, is still in use?
