Lest anyone new to collecting Jethro Tull items on online auction sites such as ebay etc., get "conned", the item below is not a newly discovered rarity by Ian Anderson but Ian A. Anderson, the guy who was famously kicked off the Island Records rosta in the early days and has blamed Ian Anderson ever since.

That's correct and for anyone interested in "world music" it's a worthy magazine. He has never, to my knowlege, ever had an article about Jethro Tull or Ian Anderson/Martin Barre in fFroots unless of course, anyone knows any different

Oh yes. Dave Pegg's a bit scathing of him as well. His magazine's good although I haven't read a copy for a few months. The cover CDs led me to buy some rather fine music in the past and one UK digital radio station, Passion For The Planet, borrowed them off me for the basis of their world music library when they first began broadcasting.

www.newsbiscuit.com/2014/08/09/rejected-reality-tv-contestants-discovered-in-sack-in-river-thames/Rejected reality TV contestants discovered in sack in river Thames A London man was shocked last night when he pulled a writhing sack out of the river Thames and discovered that it contained a collection of half-drowned, almost-forgotten reality TV stars. Ian Anderson was walking his dog when he noticed the struggling sack beginning to sink below the surface of the water. He managed to hook it with a tree branch and pull it to the shore but was stunned by what he found. ‘I thought it must contain unwanted kittens or something. I couldn’t believe that people would still chuck them in a sack in the river in this day and age, but the kids have been banging on about wanting a cat, so I grabbed a branch and got it out of the water.’ said the unsuspecting hero. ‘They weren’t making any noise but there was movement so I knew there was something alive in there. When I opened it up I didn’t see the kittens I was expecting, but instead saw Frankie Cocozza staring at me with his pathetic, attention-seeking eyes. I was pretty sure my kids wouldn’t want to keep him as a pet, so naturally I was a bit gutted.’ As he delved deeper Ian also found someone from the last series of Big Brother and another one who looked vaguely familiar, who he thinks might have been in Fame Academy but he can’t be sure. ‘I couldn’t believe what I’d found but since then I’ve discovered this sort of things is more common than you’d think.’ continued Anderson, ‘A mate of mine is a plumber and he got called to the X Factor studios once to deal with a blocked toilet and found that Louis Walsh had tried to flush away a discarded boy band. It took him ages to force them around the U bend and get it working properly again.’ ‘Anyway, this soaking wet lot were clearly no use to me, so I found some more bricks, re-tied the sack and chucked them back in. It’s the kindest thing to do.’

LOL! This reminds me of Balloon Boy several years ago. Balloon Boy LINK His father was a guy trying to get his own reality show. He launched a balloon like a flying saucer and had hundreds of rescue folks believing his son was onboard. It was all a hoax and they got in major trouble. Of course they still deny it...
