16-5-18 Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull talks with Sounds of the Time "We were enamored of this rather loose, slightly rebellious, and very free-flowing music that just seemed to erupt from the soul," says Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull.

25 minutes 29 seconds JETHRO TULL- 50 FOR 50 PT 1- IAN ANDERSON In The Studio with Redbeard LINK Even though I only attended college for three days ( that’s not a typo, days, not years or even semesters ), I got an education which served me a lifetime from the guy who roomed next to me in the freshman dorm. In those three days he introduced me to Advent speakers, Humble Pie, ZZ Top, and Jethro Tull. Man, do I owe that guy for a life of pleasure that is simply immeasurable! In the years 1972-74 there was no band in the world more exciting, more unconventional, and more successful than Jethro Tull. With back-to-back albums Aqualung in May 1971 and then the almost accidental #1 seller Thick As a Brick in 1972, Jethro Tull combined pastoral acoustic guitar, progressive rock arrangements, Martin Barre‘s hard rock guitar bursts, and Ian Anderson‘s dense thought-provoking lyrics into a heady brew that had no comparison.
Originating in the northern English town of Blackpool, Jethro Tull was a name borrowed from the actual inventor of the seed drill. By 1968 they were as talked about as any of the new bands on the London club scene, primarily because of the stage presence of lead singer Anderson, whose leaping, scowling, bug-eyed mad hatter theatrics made for a great show. And then there was Ian’s choice of rock and roll “axe”, not a six-string six shooter like so many other bandleaders, but a 20th century Pan with a flute!
The 40th anniversary box set of Jethro Tull‘s Songs from the Wood received the knees up full Monty treatment from Porcupine Tree remixer/ surround sound savant Steven Wilson last year, a perfect present for any long time Jethro Tull fan (is there any other kind?) . In my opinion, the results from remixing Songs from the Wood to surround sound are the most satisfying to date of all of the reissues so far including Benefit , the 1970 Jethro Tull under-appreciated missing link between the eclectic folksy Stand Up, and the breakthrough million sellers Aqualung and Thick as a Brick. Then there was the odds’n’sods collection Living in the Past which was rushed out in the U.S. in Fall 1972 to capitalize after Thick As a Brick became Jethro Tull’s stunning #1 seller earlier that year.
Revisit the UK hit “Sweet Dream“, the band’s interpretation of Johan Sebastian Bach‘s jaunty “Bouree”, “Teacher”,”Bungle in the Jungle”,’Skating Away…”, and the title song to “Living in the Past”. And as you find yourself humming & singing all of these familiar melodies, either here or in concert during the fiftieth anniversary tour which opens Wednesday night and runs through September in the US, remind yourself that Ian Anderson nor Jethro Tull still are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. – Redbeard

54 minutes 20 seconds LINK 1 LINK 2 JETHRO TULL- 50TH ANNIVERSARY PT 2- IAN ANDERSON The first decade of Jethro Tull‘s half century which we explored here last week, occupying that musical territory only big enough for itself, where ancient-sounding heath-covered acoustic numbers combined with sprawling progressive rock, fits neatly with the debut This Was to Heavy Horses ten years later. Jethro Tull and its singer/ songwriter/ flautist Ian Anderson were fearless in those heady days, going to #1 sales with the most unlikely chart-topper since The Singing Nun, 1972’s Thick as a Brick, brushing off the disastrous A Passion Play, then coming back with two Top 40 hits on War Child. Minstrel in the Gallery, Too Old to Rock’n’Roll, and Songs from the Wood all followed in regular succession.
But beginning in 1979 and continuing all the way until the late Eighties, Jethro Tull’s fate and fortunes would be quite unlike their first decade of success. Bass player John Glascock died from heart surgery just five weeks after Stormwatch‘s 1979 album release, a tough blow, and to add insult to injury, the album was the first since the 1968 debut not to reach the US Top 20 in sales. The Broadsword and the Beast in 1982 easily could have been the theme for the HBO hit series Game of Thrones, albeit written thirty years too soon. Jethro Tull certainly were not alone as many of their Seventies peers struggled as they did then amidst Pop Metal hair bands that were selling millions of records and hair mousse.
But after an eight year drought, Jethro Tull had all of the tumblers click on the 1987 album Crest of a Knave containing “Farm on the Freeway“ and “Budapest“, a Top 20 seller in the UK and #3 in the States, eventually winning a Grammy Award and reigniting concert ticket and further album sales for Rock Island in 1989 and Catfish Rising in 1991. Selecting the fifty songs over the twenty-one studio offerings for this 50 for 50 massive undertaking proved a challenge for Ian Anderson to curate, not simply for fan expectations. If there ever was a lyrical wordsmith who learned his songwriting trade in the widescreen cinematic tradition of the album format, and is ill-suited for the 99 cent iTunes world he find himself in fifty years hence, it would be Ian Anderson.
“If it’s all too much for you, if you’d rather sit down and watch an episode of The X Factor, be my guest,” Anderson snarks as to why album sales are down. “But on the other hand, if you want something that is an antidote to that fast food music we seem to live amidst these days, then maybe this is the album for you. You can get your teeth into it, while you still have any, that is! We snack on music these days. We don’t sit down to a banquet and take two hours over it, we tend to snack. So it is a change in culture I have to recognize.” –Redbeard

LIVE IN SACRAMENTO with BERNIE !!! on TULL RADIO LIVE susanberm : So Ian decided to let me drive him to the LA Airport instead of taking the limo. This was 1974 and I had just turned 18. I had a cute little MGB blue convertible. Well little did I know that Ian would always take side roads not the freeway...so he was completely freaked out...on the way to the airport he asked me to stop by the Beverly Wilshire so he could get his Sherman cigarettes. He asked me to go in to get them for him (and pay too)...I didn't know the first thing about cigs... cuz I have never smoked...fortunately got the right ones. Got him to the airport safely, but he was in a complete sweat when he arrived...we had a good laugh!Image by Chris Crout

Only caught the 2nd half of the Sacramento broadcast but it was well recorded and sounded great! Ian wisely had another band member helping out with some of the vocals. First saw the band 47 years ago, they were a lot more wild, rocked much harder, and were a lot more exciting to see in those days, but the music is still excellent.

Jethro Tull featured quite a bit tonight in a BBC documentary about Concept albums. The programme finished with music from Homo Erraticus. Ian Anderson talked a bit about TAAB and about how it was a spoof album and hinted it was a joke at the expense of Yes and others that he said were much better musicians than Tull. TAAB is my favourite album and I am not sure that I believe it was all just a big spoof/joke though admittedly the cover, etc is “ tongue in cheek”. If it was then I wonder if they same could be said about Passion Play, TOTRNR, etc that were also concept albums ? This is the link for the show - don't think that people outside the UK can watch it (sorry) www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b079s0n0/when-pop-went-epic-the-crazy-world-of-the-concept-album

www.broadwayworld.com/bwwtv/article/AMC-Announces-the-Second-Half-of-THE-WALKING-DEAD-and-RIDE-WITH-NORMAN-REEDUS-20181126AMC Announces the Second Half of THE WALKING DEAD and RIDE WITH NORMAN REEDUSby TV News Desk Nov. 26, 2018 AMC's "The Walking Dead" will return for the second half of season nine on Sunday, February 10 at 9:00 p.m. ET/ PT as announced by Chris Hardwick on last night's "Talking Dead." Hardwick also revealed that the season three premiere of "Ride with Norman Reedus" will air at midnight that same evening.
The second half of "The Walking Dead" season nine finds our groups of survivors, both old and new, continuing to deal with the impact of events that took place during the six years that have passed. Since the disappearance of Rick, many of these characters have become strangers to each other, and in some ways, strangers to themselves. What they do know is that they are in undeniable danger. They will soon realize the world just BEYOND does not operate as they thought. The group's rules and ways of survival no longer guarantee their safety. A whole new threat has crossed their paths, and they soon discover it's unlike any threat they have encountered or endured before. The group will start to question what they think they see. What may appear to be normal in this post-apocalyptic world could actually be more disturbing and terrifying than when the apocalypse first broke out. All that is certain is the STAKES are high and numerous.
Based on the comic book series written by Robert Kirkman and published by Image Comics, "The Walking Dead" tells the story of the months and years after a zombie apocalypse and follows a group of survivors who travel IN SEARCH OF a safe and secure home. The series is executive produced by chief content officer Scott M. Gimple, showrunner Angela Kang, Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, Dave Alpert, Greg Nicotero, Tom Luse and Denise Huth."Ride with Norman Reedus" follows "The Walking Dead" star and motorcycle enthusiast Norman Reedus as he hits the open road to explore local bike culture and celebrate the best and brightest collectors, mechanics, and craftsmen around the country. Each episode features Reedus and a riding companion as they journey across an unknown terrain and experience the culture surrounding them... with plenty of time for unplanned detours and tire changes. This seasons guests include Austin Amelio, Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull, Andrew Lincoln, Marilyn Manson, Rob Halford of Judas Priest, Melissa McBride, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and Steven Yeun. "Ride with Norman Reedus" is produced by Left/Right ("This American Life," "The Circus," "James Cameron's Story of Science Fiction") with Ken Druckerman, Banks Tarver and Anneka Jones serving as Executive Producers along with Reedus.

www.tvovermind.com/the-best-uses-of-jethro-tull-songs-in-movies-or-tv/The Best Uses of Jethro Tull Songs in Movies or TV 6 Hours Ago Overall it seems as though Jethro Tull had a hard time coming up with a name for the band initially and even keeping people in the band since some would come and then leave to pursue other interests. The name didn’t come along until a bit later when they finally decided upon something that was given to them by the staff of their booking agent. Jethro Tull was an 18th-century agriculturist and the name stuck largely because it was the name they used when they were successful enough to be invited back to the same gig. The name did get butchered once and listed as Jethro Toe, but aside from that they eventually became something of a known band and made their way into the music business as more and more people decided they were worth the effort. Out of many bands that come from their era they are one that might have to be explained to people, but at the same time they’re also one of the most noted among those that lived in that era. Here are some of their songs as heard in movies and TV. 5. The Simpsons – Thick as a BrickThe Simpsons is a show well-known for featuring everything from the obscure to the most famous when it comes to music and celebrities as this has been one of the ways the show has managed to draw viewers over the years and keep their attention. A lot of older songs have been referenced a lot or sung by Homer, who’s the music buff in the family since he was the guy that, when he was younger, would listen to a wide selection of them. Putting Jethro Tull in for one episode might have been something of a throwback or just a way to highlight something that the creators or even the writers thought was a nice nod to the past. 4. Fargo – Locomotive BreathFargo the TV series is a bit different than Fargo the movie and for good reason, since the movie was kind of crazy and was over too quickly. That being said however the series seems to be acting as a kind of niche program that a select number of people enjoy and others just kind of ignore. It’s not a bad show by any means but it’s something that, like anything, you have to really get into in order to understand and to take anything away from it. So many shows these days are either made to entertain and not challenge the audience or are made to give them something to think about that it’s hard to find something in-between any longer. 3. Almost Famous -TeacherAlmost Famous is the story of a young writer that wants to prove what he’s worth but in order to do this he has to choose between remaining objective and slipping into the trust of the band he’s reporting on, which means becoming more like them and gaining a type of bias that is anathema to most reporters. Of course the band doesn’t trust him right away as reporters are the enemy due to the fact that they tend to focus on the negatives and don’t highlight the positives nearly as much, but as he continues to gain their trust and become one of them almost it does tend to taint his writing. 2. Beautiful Girls -Locomotive BreathBeautiful Girls is one of those films that makes you either shake your head at the woes and worries of people and how fleeting they seem, or allows you to relate to the stories the characters are weaving and they might seem so similar to your own. In the movies love and relationships tend to be messy, complicated, and yet easily solved within a couple of hours. It’d be nice if the real world was that simple sometimes, but it also seems as though we wouldn’t appreciate what a good relationship really is if it was able to be solved in such a simple and concise manner. That being said, it’s always a good bit of entertainment when you get to watch it on screen. 1. Jethro Tull – AqualungThis one just had to be added since it’s one of their more well-known songs and a personal favorite. Jethro Tull managed to hang on to a career from the late 60s all the way until 2012 when they took a hiatus, something that many fans thought would be the end of the band for good. Let’s face it, any band that goes on hiatus has to eventually shake off the rust when they come back, and not all of them are as successful at this as some. But Jethro Tull did come back in 2017 and have been going steadily since. This no doubt relieved many fans, though it’s safe to say that thanks to time and other factors they’re not going to be the same as they were back in the day. At least we can still enjoy their music, that’s something.

‘The Walking Dead’s Norman Reedus Reveals the Latest Evil Prank He Pulled on Andrew LincolnBy CAMERON BONOMOLO - February 8, 2019 LinkNorman Reedus once convinced his good buddy and former Walking Dead co-star Andrew Lincoln he was uninterested in having the Rick Grimes actor appear on Ride With Norman Reedus. “It’s great to get Andy out there. You know, it’s funny because his father-in-law is Ian Anderson, from Jethro Tull. I emailed Ian and I was like, ‘Hey, man. I’d love to have you on Ride this year.’ We were talking about it and he was game,” Reedus told EW. “Andy comes to set the next day and he goes, ‘Oh, so I heard you were talking to Ian about being on Ride.’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, I can’t wait.’ He goes, ‘Well, do you want me on the episode?’ I’m like, ‘No, man. I just want Ian.’ “He was kind of a little bothered, but I played it out for about a week where I was like, ‘No, dude. We’re good. No, I just want Ian.’ He’s kind of, ‘But don’t you want me?’ I’m, ‘No, no. I just want Ian.’ I played it off for a long time, and then I’m like, ‘Of course I want you!’ “That was a lot of fun, that episode. We got Andy on a motorcycle finally, and I think he rode the motorcycle in second gear the entire time. [Laughs] The look on Ian’s face while that was happening was kind of priceless.” Reedus and Lincoln have long been embroiled in a back-and-forth of prank one-upmanship: Lincoln once terrified Reedus with a legless zombie, wrapped his car in toilet paper, and set Reedus’ motorcycle adrift in a zombie-filled lake with a sex doll as its pilot. The Daryl Dixon star retaliated by concealing a glitter bomb within Lincoln’s vehicle air conditioning and once roped the Rick Grimes star into asking an embarrassing question in front of Japanese reporters. Other guests down the road this third season include Marilyn Manson and Reedus’ Walking Dead buddies Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Melissa McBride, Steven Yeun and Austin Amelio. “It’s fantastic,” Reedus said of traveling alongside past and present co-stars. “You know, Jeffrey’s always been a motorcycle buddy of mine. He’s always fun.” Ride With Norman Reedus debuts its third season Sunday on AMC, trailing the mid-season premiere of The Walking Dead Season Nine and live aftershow Talking Dead.

I have got to find this....my modern TV choices limited to Netflix and Amazon prime but, you know, all the other flavors will give you a free trial and hope you forget to cancel.... screenrant.com/ride-norman-reedus-season-3-review-jeffrey-dean-morgan-andrew-lincoln/Ride With Norman Reedus Season 3 Review: Hit The Road With The Walking Dead CastBY KEVIN YEOMAN – ON FEB 10, 2019 IN TV REVIEWS The season 3 premiere, ‘England: A Walking Dead Reunion’ is a busy hour of television, even by the standards of most travelogue shows. Ride isn’t too terribly interested in getting into the minute or deeply personal details of the areas it’s exploring, or even the people with whom its host shares the ride, but by keeping its focus on the surface of things the series finds it can overstuff an episode like this without necessarily weighing it down. The big draw of ‘England’ isn’t really the sights of London and the English countryside; it’s the fact that Reedus is joined on his journey by returning guest Jeffrey Dean Morgan, while Andrew Lincoln makes a brief appearance when the two stop by the home of Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson, who happens to be Lincoln’s father-in-law.
The obvious network synergy doesn’t overshadow the camaraderie between the Walking Dead stars, as the ease and with which they interact with one another is appealing in the sense that the audience is being welcomed behind a curtain of celebrity. Watching Reedus, Morgan, Lincoln, and Anderson enjoy tea and crumpets is the absolute antithesis of their usual onscreen adventures, which also caps off a slight but enjoyable hour of travel television.
