I had that Whats It All About 45, nearly as lame as it gets, sort of like if a Christian network did an interview with him. Paid something silly for it like 10 dollars, got Sunshine Day at the same time, probably early eighties. I loaned both to a friend that has long since passed away, I miss him, do not miss those discs, 20 year box replaced Sunshine Day. I do recall Ian talking about inspiration, and a supermarket of inspiration, being an interview with Ian, of course I found interest. If u could hear the guy interviewing him though, it could not have been more milquetoast. Btw nothing against Christianity specifically, i do tend to still be answerable to its main man, but anything I have heard of Christian music for instance baffles me that this is considered music of the Creator, it is actual blasphemy. That performance of My God the other night however... I've got a tape copy of the disc somewhere and I must dig it out and listen to it one day. If memory serves me right it was a telephone interview and it was, in years gone by, a must have for die hard Tull fans but I never understood why. Perhaps it was the Christianity thing you mention - I don't know. |

Thank you once again maddogfagin or is that too many thanks.
Song for today...tomorrow, this week, next week, month, year, years.. lifetime. ;D
Well I'm a common working man
with a half of bitter bread and jam
and if it pleases me I'll put one on you man
when the copper fades away.
The rainy season comes to pass
the day-glo pirate sinks at last
and if I laughed a bit too fast.
Well it was up to me.

a few interesting items found on a quick spin around the internet:  A Little Light Music (Rare US American Forces Radio & Television Services 9-track promotional-only library transcription vinyl LP, banded for broadcast to US forces overseas. Plays 4 tracks from the album plus 5 tracks from R.E.M.'s Automatic For The People on the reverse, with song & cue timings printed on the custom labels RL43-2). (from eil.com)  Living In The Past (1993 UK promotional 20" x 13" promotional poster for the re-released single (from eil.com)   Heavy Horses promo video (imageshack)  First version of the cover for Trick of Memory. MB objected to it apparently - didn't like the "guitarist of Jethro Tull" bit. (from covershut.com) |

I had an off-line request concerning the Passion Play tour programme. I tried to scan my copy but it kept missing areas from the page so here, by kind pemission of Electrocutas, is the PP programme in all its glory - just click at the very bottom right hand side of each page and they will turn. www.electrocutas.co.uk/tourbooks/pplay73/temp.htm |

Maddog: You never cease to amaze me with what you come up with regrding Tull.
I wanted to make a new topic about Live 365 radio being posted on the site, but I can't figure it out. I know, you will probably say it's simple, but I tried and couldn't find an actual "start a new thread" link. So I will tell you. I'm glad we can listen to Tull Live 365 when we are checking out the page.
Regards,
Silken...

From www.m-magazine.co.uk/?p=5131 via the official site. PRS for Music approached some of its most high profile songwriters and composers and asked them to put pen to paper to transcribe their compositions or lyrics to some of our best loved music. All pieces are to be auctioned off with Bonhams in London on 15 December contributing much needed funds to the Teenage Cancer Trust. We’re profiling each composition in the month leading up the auction. Today it’s the turn of Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson. Song 5 of 24: Locomotive Breath  Locomotive Breath lyrics Released: 1971 from the Jethro Tull album Aqualung What it’s all about: The lyrics use the imagery of an impending and unavoidable train wreck as a metaphor for a man’s life falling apart. The cream of Britain’s composers and lyricists have written – by hand – lines from their best loved songs or music. These unique pieces have been kept under lock and key ahead of the ‘art of the song’ auction in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust and were only briefly unveiled at a one-off launch event in central London.
Over the next few weeks we’ll be revealing them to you one-by-one in the run-up to the auction.
Pieces have been donated by a host of world famous artists, including Sir Paul McCartney, Paul Weller, Jim Kerr, Sir Tim Rice, Julian Lennon and Annie Lennox. These unique items will be auctioned off in aid of our affiliated charity the Teenage Cancer Trust.
Until now the pieces have been in careful storage ahead of the auction (which takes place at Bonhams Knightsbridge on December 15th), so we’re delighted to be able to unveil the pieces on M Magazine.
As well as raising money for Teenage Cancer Trust the project hopes to create a lasting legacy of the music and song lyrics of our generation.
Bid for a piece
The Bonhams website opens on 15 November with more information on each item.
The ‘art of the song’ auction will be held at Bonhams Knightsbridge 2pm on 15 December as part of the Entertainment & Memorabilia auction. |

 I've just received this wonderful booklet from my good forum friend chea. The booklet was put together by Glauco Cartocci and contains 56 photo's and illustrations. As it's in Italian I've managed to have some of it translated. TULL OF WONDER Visions and fantasies in the sign of Jethro Tull By the Italian fans-2010. The relationship between Italy and the Jethro Tull has something special, magical, especially of uninterrupted and constant. The times of the first Italian concerts of Ian Anderson in 1971, the fans have consistently demonstrated a tricolour affection immutable, even in times of increased difficiltà and lack of inspiration of the famous band. The fans club Itullians is known for its many initiatives and Italian fans renew their love with this interesting book dedicated to the image of Tull. Glauco including cones (which remember the pleasant publications with Aereostella), the hyperactive prog-blogger Athos Enrile and a handful of enthusiasts have recovered the old and new photos of Jethro Tull and "embedded" in the logo JT: so what we see is a series of graphical rework that show the long history of Tull. Of course when it comes to training the instant visual reference is that of the flute Ian, but there are pictures of bars and Hammond-Hammond, Bunker and Abrahams, even the agronomist who gave the name to the Group and even Dave Pegg and Doane Perry. The latter two are also involved in the preface and the suggestion of Doane-"a picture is worth a thousand words"-is the right key to reading the book. DONATO ZOPPO Here's some of the images from Tull of Wonder
    A big thank you to chea  |

One of the delights, if you can call it that, is to trawl through the scrapbooks finding interesting and unusual items from the music press. All but one of these are original. It's fascinating stuff imo. Melody Maker 1984   Musicians Only   Melody Maker   National Rockstar (photo copy)  |

G,Golden Wally's, too choice, actually funny! Did not want to take up forum space with blatant ass kissing, but just wanted to let u know how much these curiosities u post regularly are appreciated. I don't mind when somebody takes a good natured swing at Ian like that Golden Wally's stuff, but all I would see back in the seventies was mean spirited, ill informed and addled, re Thick as Kitsch from Rolling Stone. I even liked the bit David Ree's did some years back, I think printing reviews from Rock Island, and some guy reviewed his by saying, paraphrasing, "Jethro Tull, are they still around then? I shall give that SWIVEL EYED LITTLE TURD a good slagging."

We had all that in the UK - one moment Tull were the darlings of the music press with Melody Maker/Sounds/NME etc., fawning all over them to get interviews and the next minute they were the boring old farts and should be put out to grass (of the green kind that cows eat). But the best thing to do with schizophrenics is to ignore them and let them crawl back under the nearest stone and wait until 20 years later when they crawl back out again with another completely different take. Certainly in the music press that still exists over here, Tull seem to be back in favour although some of the pond life are still around but now have a different story to tell. |
