Ian Anderson interviewed by John Carney - KTRS St Louis.. 28/6/13 www.ktrs.com/shows/weekdays/john-carneysee under "audio" and "Ian Anderson from Jethrow(sic) Tull on with Carney" Usual questions from a slightly patronising interviewer - see... "what!!you don't drive!" Revelations? He collects fountain pens...Scott McKenzie picture...."snot running down his nose - rather distasteful line and not my kind of writing"..."difficult to contemplate collaborating on writing songs with anyone else" (think he was referring to lyrics?) It's repetitive but hat's off to him for having the patience to wax lyrical about the same old same old in a full and concise way and on every interview. Mind you I think on doing so something new pops into his head like an added bonus.

MY PEOPLE Stuart Maconie
Gavin Esler digs prog rock
Punk Britannia on BBC4 filled me with despair - a series of gentlemen of a certain age trotting out that hoary canard that prog rock was a load of fatuous rubbish about trolls and Gandalf, while pub rock was a kind of salvation. It's a point of view I've never shared, and the joys of prog rock, old and new, from Jethro Tull to Tame Impala, will be celebrated at the annual Progressive Music Awards hosted by top news anchor and prog-head Gavin Esler. We'll welcome him to our show as an old friend.
(Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie, Monday 1pm 6 Music)

Seems we Brits are extremely fortunate in having BBC 6 Music on digital radio - they've featured IA and Tull a fair bit over the years and last night Gideon Coe played two tracks from the Peel sessions namely Bouree and Fat Man from 16/06/1969. Not earth shattering by itself but where else on this planet would you have a radio station that digs deep into the BBC archive and plays such music. If you have a look at the playlist from last night you'll get an idea why it's such an important part of UK radio. Show details here www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b039v0zqWeb page www.bbc.co.uk/6musicHaving met Gideon Coe a few years back when he was on GLR, another sadly missed BBC local station in London, I can certainly vouch for his "credentials" in championing non mainstream music and music you would not hear on BBC Radio 1, Heart, Capital and other outlets. Worth a listen on line if you can't pick the station up on digital.

Roy has been a professional musician since 1964, and has released 22 studio and 10 live albums in his career to date.

Living in the Past - Progressive and Art-School Rock
Duration: 57 minutes
Coming at the end of the '60s, Living In The Past was one of the first hit singles of what was to become known as Progressive Rock, a genre of music which is thought to have come into full fruition with the release of King Crimson's In The Court Of The Crimson King. Marrying poetic, esoteric lyrics with deft, knotty arrangements and virtuoso musicianship, it proved that rock music could be arty, thoughtful and grown up. Although it became a dirty word, "progressive" was a positive thing, the desire to want to try and push the boundaries of rock to almost breaking point. It was something for any musician to aspire to. It was also, from around 1969 to maybe 1975, a regular staple of the pop charts. In fact Living In The Past was a top ten hit despite being in the slightly tricky time signature of 5/4, and thus not so easy for the kids to dance to.
Prog Rock was very much a British creation, and very much the product of well-educated kids; at the very least grammar school educated but more likely kids from private schools. This was thoughtful, intelligent music made by thoughtful, intelligent young men (and it was almost always young men). As such, the criticisms of the music being elitist could have been as much to do with the class system as it was to musical snobbery. But there was also a second group of bands that were more likely to be loved and championed by regular working class kid, and they were the art-school bands like Roxy Music, Gang Of Four or Talking Heads, bands that were also cerebral and considered, but less tricky, less self-important and much easier to dance to.
According to rock folklore the likes of The Sex Pistols and The Clash came along and destroyed all of the Prog bands, but in truth this was blatantly nonsense.

www.inthestudio.net/online-only-interviews/jethro-tull-living-past-ian-anderson/In The Studio With RedbeardWith a deluxe edition of Benefit out now, the 1970 Jethro Tull album which is the under-appreciated missing link between the eclectic folksy Stand Up and the breakthrough million sellers Aqualung and Thick as a Brick, we thought it a good time to feature highlights from Benefit, as well as Living in the Past, War Child, Minstrel in the Gallery, Songs From the Wood, and the delightful 2002 CD/DVD Living With the Past.
Revisit the band’s interpretation of Johan Sebastian Bach‘s jaunty “Bouree”, “Teacher’ ,”Bungle in the Jungle”,’Skating Away…”,”Life’s a Long Song”, and the title songs to “Living in the Past”,”Minstrel in the Gallery“, and “Songs from the Wood”. And as you find yourself humming & singing all of these familiar melodies, remind yourself that Jethro Tull still is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. – Redbeard

Longtime Houston radio station suddenly changes formatKarla Barguiarenaabclocal.go.com/HOUSTON (KTRK) -- It's been said rock and roll will never die but apparently it will ... at least on 93.7 The Arrow. Quinn Bishop knows a thing or two about classic rock. At his Montrose music store, artists like Kiss and Jethro Tull are prominently featured. It's a music scene he believes is growing. "Through the very popular video games, you actually have more young people who are engaged with classic rock and heritage artists than there has been in years," Bishop explained. But apparently the growth is not enough to save a popular radio station that has been playing classic rock in Houston for more than 20 years -- 93.7 The Arrow. At noon on New Year's Eve, artists like Beyonce and Kanye replaced ZZ Top and Aerosmith on 93.7. Customers we spoke to tell us they were upset with the change, but Bishop believes it makes sense. He said, "I think with big market radio it just means that there is more ad revenue to be gained by switching formats." In a statement sent to Eyewitness News, Clear Channel Radio, which owns 93.7, wrote, "Many of the biggest stars in this format live in Houston, so to move the station in this direction was a natural choice. In addition, The Beat format will perfectly complement the five other radio stations in our cluster by making us more attractive and diverse to our advertising community." At the Family Barber Shop near Reliant Stadium, the station now called 93.7 The Beat had everyone buzzing. Barber Lionel Dupree said, "It's a good thing for Houston and I think it will be good for the communities and I think if everybody would just give it a chance, I think it will be OK."

The TeamRock Radio Takeover with Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull) Ian takes over Team Rock on Sunday the 16th March between 5pm and 6pm GMT www.teamrockradio.com/schedule Thanks for the shout out on this Jim. Team Rock radio DAB in the UK is a direct competitor to Planet Rock DAB which IA was connected with a few years ago as part of the consortium that took it over when it was about to go out of business. From wikipedia:
On 4 June 2008, Planet Rock announced that it had been sold to a consortium led by Malcolm Bluemel and supported by Tony Iommi, Ian Anderson, Gary Moore, and Fish. There was no break in transmission and the programming remained unchanged.
On 25 September 2012, it was reported that Malcolm Bluemel was looking for a buyer for the station.
On 6 February 2013, it was announced that the station had been sold to Bauer Media for deal worth between £1 million and £2 million.

106.9 The Fox's Dave Taylor interviews Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson about Thick as a Brick 1 and 2 www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlptBnfmo6k#t=68 Published on 30 Sep 2012 by 1069thefox Have a listen to IA's comments about "Kissing Willie" at 14'40" I love this interview from 2012. I never knew about Storm Thorgerson's connection to "Kissing Willie". Regardless of Ian's unease about the video, I think it ranks as one of the best ever!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Island_(album) Introduction by Ian Anderson "Kissing Willie" is a not-too-subtle approach to love and life behind grey factory walls. Actually bassist Dave Pegg inspired this one with a tale, imagined or real, who knows, of an awkward teenage mutual fumble behind the gasworks somewhere on the fringes of his home town of Birmingham in the Midlands of the UK. A rather over-the-top video went with this one and is not one of my proudest moments.
Director Storm Thorgerson wanted a Benny Hill kind of thing and so I Bennied, dutifully. Regretfully.

Nice to have as my only copy up to now is on a well worn cassette.
