Very grin-able.  All grins out of here lead to Grammy. Always loved the UK Said She Was A Dancer 4 track CD single (TULLCD 4) with Dogs In the Midwinter, Down At The End Of Your Road & Too Many Too. |

I wish Ian would go back to the black tophat! Looks way better than the bandana. And he can still hide his MPB. I disguise my ever-thinning hair by mowing it every day. Then I can imagine that women think I have good hair but just choose to shave my noggin because I'm a bad-ass, while in fact I'm a powder-puff. Actually, powder-puffs are probably tougher than I am. Seriously, though, I make sure the women I work with know full-well that I'm a chipmunk in a man's body. One of my fave bits from a Woody Allen movie, Bananas, is when the leader of a rebel army in a fictitious South American country tells Woody: "One day, you will be a tiger!" Woody answers: "Yeah, okay. When you need a squirrel, let me know." Is this the type of hat you are thinking of ?  |

I was referring to the one Ian is wearing in tootull's signature pics, with the lyric from 'Rocks on the Road' under it. Odd how you quoted me from another thread but it wound up in this thread?

Deliberate I'm afraid - I'd posted the rock newspaper article then realised your post mentioned the hat and I put 2 + 2 together by copying your post and then editing my original post to include your quote. As a grey/gray surfer I think I'm beginning to understand computers although I'm not looking forward to changing from windows xp to the latest windows system when I have to upgrade my pc in the near future. Will most likely have to get the younger generation in my family to set it up and get it all working. Not only do they know exactly what they're doing but have nimble fingers for keypads - normally takes me 5 minutes to send a simple text something they can do in 5 seconds  |

Love the article! I still hear people nagging about that Grammy thing. I personally never cared one way or the other, as I think awards for art are silly, sort of the way George C. Scott was purported to feel about it, if memory serves. Awards should be for athletes who compete in real time against each other, aggressively, who are by nature competitive and like-minded, with a bent to 'win'; or to scientists, or people in general who do things that save lives and cause tangible improvements in everyday life. I think rewards for art are perfectly fine, and damn well-deserved for people who work as hard as touring performance bands and artists. I saw a long video of an interview with Joe Perry of Aerosmith's guitar tech, for example. It took a full 30 minutes for the man to explain the purpose and function of all the guitars, amps, effects boxes, and various items of equipment used by Perry for every show. A lot of people imagine that the life of a rock star is all glitter and glamour, sex, drugs, and good fun, and don't bear in mind the amount of work that goes into not only composing and recording an album's worth of music but also to take that onto the road and translate it into live performance over an extended period of time. Ian was right to be proud of the award though, as an acknowledgment of Tull's two decades of work, and he was spot on to intimate that Metallica, and their fans, were maybe a bit silly in making such a fuss being that they were upstarts. I don't have any major beef against awards for art, I'm just one of those starving artists with the standard two cents and an ever-duller axe to grind. Pardon my speech-ifying.  |

Totally agree and I think Ian thinks that way too. Happy to receive them but not that bothered if he doesn't.

Got to agree with the above. IA's love/hate relationship with the grammy. As for the article itself it's one of many that I exchanged many years ago with like minded Tull fans both here in the UK, America, Canada and Europe and said articles ended up in folders which in due course I'll get around to re-visiting. I'll post the good ones here |

Something from 2003 in the MOJO Mag... I was going to see "Rubbing Elbows" in Durham, N.C.
This exploded on the radio before we arrived at the show. My fear was that Ian would be booed.
Fortunately no one acted that way and I tend to agree with his points. This was fine with me.
There was excessive flag waving by those who wanted to use it as a political device.
Ian realized what would happen so he apologized. The Dixie Chicks were not as fortunate.

Ian realized what would happen so he apologized. The Dixie Chicks were not as fortunate. IA has always known how to toe the line between complete candor and tact. I don't blame him one bit for his irritation then, though I was quite a bit more 'patriotic' then than I am now. He's right. We in America, at least speaking for myself, who was born at West Point and raised in modest comfort and safety, and who has lived without having any notion whatsoever about what it would be like to be under organized military attack from another nation, have had it good, in comparison with the rest of the world, at least insofar as the insulation and security of our civilian population. There's no waffling about that, and no mistaking bare facts for any kind of real anti-American sentiment. However, I increasingly suspect that our time is coming, and that the possibility of an organized military invasion is no longer wholly in the realm of crackpot, alarmist fantasy. |

Lol! Also, Ian didn't name the band Jethro Tull. As far as I know, he could never stand that name? |

Still it could have been a lot worse - had they been booked at the Marquee Club in London on any other evening they could have been called "Candy Coloured Rain"/"Ian Henderson's Bag O' Blues" or similar. Traffic recorded a song called "Coloured Rain" on their Mr Fantasy album - I've often wondered if Derek Lawrence got the idea from there  |
