Jethro Tull - Jethro Tull Rocker Has Plans For Bush 29 May 2006 www.contactmusic.com JETHRO TULL flautist IAN ANDERSON hopes to form a band with GEORGE W BUSH when the US President is out of office, so he can persuade him to perform a concert for climate change. The folk flautist wants to get Bush together with British leader TONY BLAIR, who plays guitar, and former US president and saxophonist BILL CLINTON to start a globally aware pop outfit. Although Bush has yet to display any musical talent on the world stage, Anderson is convinced after a few flute lessons he'll be ready to rock. He jokes, "A friend of mine, a fellow flautist, TONY SNOW, has become press officer for The White House. "I said, 'When I'm next in Washington, we should give Bush flute lessons. Then, when he's out of office, we can form a band with him, Clinton and Blair can perform a gig for climate change.'" [ surely some mistake - features editor]

Not without a suicide vest ( after warning James or Shona to circle the venue, looking for parking till after the blast). So you think this line up doesn't quite "cut the mustard"? Bill Clinton: Saxophone George W. Bush: Triangle and spoons Ian Anderson: Flute, guitar & vocals Tony Blair: Guitar Anne Widdicombe: Bass Sarah Palin: Drums

While I am not exactly doubting their findings it does seem suspicious that those rabbits could be a harm to even that one signature rock formation, Storr. With Skye long having been a haven for pirates I very much like the idea of the non rabbit making a final stand up there, maybe even getting aggressive. On the other hand introducing animals into an ecosystem that they had not always been in, in this case 1800's, can often bring its own strange fruit.

I see the sheep get it in the neck as well "In their report for Scottish Natural Heritage, they suggested fewer sheep would reduce erosion and loss of plant life."

I remember those cowardly bastards. In my three trips up there, always on foot or hitch hiking (save for one day in 83 we rented what seemed to be the only rental car on Skye, some exorbinant rate that luckily we were able to share with the German girl we had borrowed)those black faced things would be in bleating packs that would run away in a panic in the day but at night, very very dark Skye night where you canna see the damn things, they would assemble in the same packs with that same bleating would frighten the $h1t out of me, probably most people. Freakin things were always in a panic, now their hour has come. Only kidding of course. The next guilty animal will be the first.

Just love the way they get stuck on the bridge "Bless" Of course I love the little guys. But I am talkin about a different tribe up there, they might be like Skye pigeons, more likely to assemble where there is human activity like Broadford, the black faced sheep, dead common on Skye. I know among my past psychedelic vision was being answerable at the gates to the all to something with a sheeps head, cannot remember the body, and frankly, it was quite peaceful. O man the fun you can have on a Saturday night. As Paul's grandfather would say, "Sheeps heads!" I do love the caution with which they approach the crossing, classic. I have a friend who can perfectly imitate a pigeon and its walk and head movements, have to get him to work on the sheep.

They can hear you R i40.images obliterated by tinypic/20zsfht.jpg [/IMG][/quote]They are sweet and I do miss them. They love making announcements. Anytime is panic time. I do admire the lead ones, sheep are normally not of a spirit to take the lead on things, so, pleasant squeezings to the leaders, like to buy a little green cap for them, sort of like British schoolkids wear/wore, and a little Martin monocle. Those Highland cattle with the long horns and long hair, those are some seriously bad boys, almost prehistoric looking, like mastadons, wandering all around Ian's place, a couple of them even KNEW HIM . One of them even spoke to me the first time up there, said somethin like O Aye, ye mean the Tull guy. Then it went right back to its trance like munching, like nothing happened.
