Ian is a moron. GMO foods creates massive poverty, poison us and the environment. There is no issue with overpopulation, that is Malthusian bull$h1t. It is pushed by those with a depopulation agenda. Listening to Ian speak is embarrassing, what an ignorant fool.

Maybe I don't endorse everything that Ian believes, but overall I tend to agree.
With issues that exist today more needs to be discussed and in a less angry tone.
Musicians are people who entertain and some use music to educate with new ideas about life.
We all could learn from this tour how people like Jethro Tull still exist in society today.
I'm not afraid of the future as much as a return to the past... The world has never been perfect. |

Listening to Ian speak is embarrassing, what an ignorant fool. It's fine to have opinions but you won't win friends and influence people on this subject by being downright rude and promoting your own agendas on what is, basically, a music forum. If you want to discuss the subject I am sure that there are plenty of places on the internet which will be more to your liking. I doubt very much that you have ever met Ian Anderson and I am sure that if you did you would not speak to him in the manner you have used in your post. It costs nothing to be civil and polite but to promote your one-sided opinions in such a way doesn't in all honesty show you up in a good light. |

Thanks again TooTull  I like this one very much and very interesting  And I guess moving to present-day production values,
not everybody is going to be receptive to you singing to a projection screen.
I guess there have been folks on Facebook and elsewhere who have actually
been very rude about it, saying it was rubbish and disconnected,
and wanting us to just come out and play the songs.
Someone even said my guests come off as wooden and boring.
But I can promise you they are not wooden and boring.
This is Ryan O'Donnell who is the star of "Sunday Afternoon" in the West End.
He's a star -- a very good developing talent. And Unnur Birna Bjornsdottir.
I would think people might say she's overacting a bit,
but she was directed by me to be a bit larger than life -- a naive farmer's daughter
who marries the young Jethro Tull and develops into a steely-eyed business woman
as Jethro's fortunes grow to where he becomes a captain of industry.
And the worst criticism I've come across, which is absolutely wrong, is people saying
I'm only singing live a fraction of the show, or that I'm not singing live at all.
Seventy percent of the lyrics in the show are sung by me, live and on stage.
Anybody who says it's pre-recorded is really giving me a backhanded compliment --
I sound so good they're confusing it with a studio recording.

Iron Flute then. Could be interesting. Less silver, more magnetic charge. Less reflection, more compass direction. Pure iron or alloy? Galwey will be telling him to try out Miyazawa iron alloy flutes with the Cross-Eyed trill key. So I suppose the Japanese plastic flutes didn't cut the mustard for that new project. I have a plastic-Delrin- stopper in my flute headjoint. I think iron would be way too "heavy" www.zen176069.zen.co.uk/website/stoppers/Background.html |

I think we've heard about Ian getting pissed on before.... however 
 JETHRO TULL’S IAN ANDERSON DISCUSSES SHEA STADIUM CONCERT MISHAP
- "I WAS SOAKED IN URINE AS I WALKED OUT TO PLAY FOR THE AUDIENCE…”
 TULL Link November 2, 2015, 17 days ago by Greg Prato
Although Jethro Tull decided to call it a day in 2014, the group’s leader/singer/flautist
Ian Anderson continues to remain active - as evidenced by a concert tour
titled…Jethro Tull: The Rock Opera, which focuses on Jethro Tull “the man”
(in case you are unaware, he was an English agriculturist, who died in 1741 at the age of 66).
But instead of taking place in the time that Mr. Tull actually lived, it brings him into
the 21st century, where he’s a biochemist, working in the field of cloning and genetically
modified organisms, spearheading the future of big agriculture! Luckily, Mr. Anderson
was also willing to discuss his past with BraveWords correspondent Greg Prato.
BraveWords: Looking back, what is your favorite Jethro Tull album?
Ian Anderson: "I suppose if you were to really twist my arm, I would probably go back to 1969,
with the Stand Up album, because that was my first album of first really original music.
It has a special place in my heart. I remember sitting in Lowe's midtown hotel in Manhattan,
having breakfast, when Joe Cocker came into the coffee shop, and said, 'Hey, congratulations!
I just heard that you guys have gone to #1 in the English album charts with Stand Up.'
It was the summer of 1969, just as we were about to embark upon joining Led Zeppelin in
the Midwest to play some concerts with them.
So of course, it has a place in my heart as being the beginning of the real Jethro Tull adventure.
But musically speaking, there are other songs and other albums that maybe appeal to me more,
but you did twist my arm, and I allowed it to be twisted."
BraveWords: I have heard quite a few other musicians list that as their favorite
Tull album over the years, including Joe Satriani and Aerosmith’s Tom Hamilton.
Ian Anderson: "You could have also asked Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam,
because apparently that was his favorite album. He used to take it to Pearl Jam gigs and play it
before every show, so he told one of my road crew, when they went to see him in concert.
And I think Joe Bonnamassa picked 'A New Day Yesterday' from that album to be one of his
early crowd pleasers, obviously has some connection with that too. But you put it in the context -
1969 was a time when a lot of children were growing up and having their first big
opening experience to rock music. So quite a few of my slightly younger peers would
have been exposed to albums like Stand Up, Benefit, Aqualung, and Thick As A Brick.
I think we also have to be careful when we talk about having an influence on other people."
BraveWords: What do you recall about when Tull headlined Shea Stadium in 1976?
Ian Anderson:
"Well, two memories. One, not being able to really hear anything we were playing because of
the noise of the crowd and the fact that it was the early days of P.A. systems and the audience
was so far away. But the most abiding memory was waiting to walk out there onto the stadium
field,to get on the stage, and waiting on a ramp that took you up and let you out onto the field.
High up above us was the audience,kind of leaning over,
looking down onto this space below, where we were noticeably waiting to go on.
And then I suddenly realized that I was very wet. I thought somebody had poured
a beer over me from high above.
And I realized that yes, it was indeed beer…but not entirely fresh - it has passed through
somebody's bladder on the way.
So, I was soaked in urine as I walked out to play for the audience at Shea Stadium,
and stank of somebody else's pee for the next hour and a half. The things we do for our art…"

BraveWords:
Tull built quite a loyal following in the New York area, and specifically, Long Island.
Ian Anderson:
"Long Island is a place I've been to over the years many times - quite often out to Westbury.
It's an area that I associate with the kind of residential and social affluence that perhaps it
unfairly is associated with because of the folks who are the obscenely rich,
who holiday on the distant shores of Long Island. I have to say, it's quite seductive
in the sense that it is so close to New York City and so close to JFK.
It's not all glitzy - there are some fairly funky parts of Long Island. I remember attending a
place of combat shooting excellence out on Long Island, where they train the Navy SEALs,
and spending some time in what looked like a derelict industrial warehouse,
only to go in and find out it was a state-of-the-art, very high tech modern place
where the forces of law and order go to be trained in defensive assault, handgun,
and other weapon techniques. You find all kinds of weird stuff out there on Long Island!"

Dear Mr Anderson. I am still waiting for your version of a Wee Deoch An Doris as you yourself said you would do here in this interview in a red- top crappy newspaper last May! www.dailyrecord.co.uk/entertainment/celebrity-interviews/scots-flautist-ian-anderson-successful-3515199" ... Ian has recorded Harry Lauder’s A Wee Deoch an’ Doris for a new album of Scottish songs.
He has rewritten the second verse of the famous nightcap song to talk about the potential end of the union"
Ian said: “I'm expressing sadness in a farewell drink at the door kind of a way
The producer won’t release it until after the vote, as he doesn't want to get involved.
“I, on the other hand, feel that if it focuses on the enormity of what they are voting on, releasing it would be a good thing.
“I’m not telling people how to vote, I’m just asking people to think....”
However re reading that last sentence I'm beginning to think that you might have been taking the proverbial urine and had no intention of re recording Harry Lauders music hall classic albeit in an updated and satirical fashion. Could you please contact me and tell me at the very least that you've picked out a stage costume and are still intending to release this classic? Finally, I don't know if this is any help however if you read the small print at the top of this flyer it says your free to go ahead and widdnae get asked tae pay a thrupney bit !! ![]() i63.images obliterated by tinypic/qspqi1.jpg[/IMG] Yours Rabbit McTavish |

Ian Anderson comments his favorite album of Jethro Tullwww.miusyk.com/ian-anderson-comenta-disco-favorito-jethro-tull.htmlGoogle tranlator with help: Just passed through Spain his rock opera and several sold out concerts. Ian Anderson also wanted to comment on what is your favorite album of the long discography of Jethro Tull and, interestingly, this album will be the next to enjoy a deluxe edition. Anderson says, "I think if I would force me to choose I pick 1969 Stand up because it's my first album with my songs. It has a special place in my heart. I remember sitting having breakfast at Lowe hotel in Midtown Manhattan, where Joe Cocker came into the restaurant and said, "Congratulations. I just found out that you have got the number one in England with Stand up ".. That was in the summer of 69, just as we were about to embark on a tour with Led Zeppelin. I think the special place that has that record in my heart is that marked the beginning of the adventure of Jethro Tull. But in terms of the musical there are other songs and other discs that attract me, as you told me to choose I have done. " The interviewer tells him that Joe Satriani or Tom Hamilton of Aerosmith, they also say that this album is his favorite. Anderson says that "if you ask Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam will tell you the same because that's their favorite record. I used to put integer before his concerts, at least I told one of my roadies when they went to see one of his concert. " "I think Joe Bonamassa chose" to put it to the public before their concert A New Day Yesterday ". If we put this record in its context we must bear in mind that 1969 was a time when many children experienced first rock. So some of my younger colleagues were exposed to disks as the above or Benefit, Aqualung, and Thick as a brick. I think you also have to be careful when we say that we influence those musicians at the time. " *I have noticed that the previous interview was chosen from this web: JETHRO TULL’s IAN ANDERSON Discusses Shea Stadium Concert Mishap - "I Was Soaked In Urine As I Walked Out To Play For The Audience…”November 2, 2015, a month ago Although Jethro Tull decided to call it a day in 2014, the group’s leader/singer/flautist Ian Anderson continues to remain active - as evidenced by a concert tour titled…Jethro Tull: The Rock Opera, which focuses on Jethro Tull “the man” (in case you are unaware, he was an English agriculturist, who died in 1741 at the age of 66).

Flute master artist, popular series of Breaking Bad's ordinary and good citizens, medium After years of changing lives by reference to Walter White character "Maybe it's time to perform Bad'i Breaking my own," he says ... Since 1968 continuing music career; This career to fit the 30 albums over 40 years, rock floor is original and fiery flute, the flute is playing wrapped "wild tale hero" version, the myth and the timeless songs that arise with inspiration from folklore and from solid group that brought rock music history Jethro Tull ... Istanbul ' in the first concert, the legendary band that Ian Anderson, Jethro Tull in 1990, will meet once more in Istanbul. The concert will take place this evening, CRR; flute, mandolin, bouzouki playing several instruments like Ian Anderson; Florian Opahl and John O'Hara, David Goodier, to accompany Scott Hammond. Ian Anderson, e-mail through we made the career interview, plans, about the unknown and Jethro Tull's famous album "Thick as a Brick" we asked for edited the fiction character Gerald Bostock ... n 40 years over the music market ask about an artist's career is not easy ... How about you start by sharing a story never told before? I was a virgin until the age of 21, I've never used drugs in my life, I am the flute every day, I support the classical Western tradition of the Christian church, including myself, though I am not a Christian; perhaps my own "Breaking Bad" I realize my time has come! "We are all players in the same soccer team! ' Your beautiful memories of your best moments in the music industry and that there is no doubt but so many years of being in the music industry must be tiring and exhausting sides? Every age has its own challenges based. In this period, with prejudice, we are faced with a society angry young or elderly. We all hold our heads erect a citizen of the world that we need to keep in mind. Haircut, our infrastructure, our culture and our religion, even though all the different players in the same football team. Therefore, the future of new generations, rather the state of the music industry is more important. Let's go back to the beginning of the '60s ... At that time, what was not occurring; your story would have been different from the present? Forest police officers or civilian officials, but at that time I could be much more excited music. Inspiration influencing popular music and more attractive to new ideas. How come people are still against the law and trees in two business continues to grow so that one day I can do in the future! 69 in Woodstock concert "to be rainy and around the naked hippies" Is it true that you refuse to participate? Yes true. More so early in our career, I did not want to go on stage in such a large organization. A time to be recognized and it was too early to success. I thought it was a few years ahead and we still need to mature. It also makes me feel uncomfortable naked hippies and drugs; I had been there I might've had them arrested and connect it to a tree. What is the role of Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson music market in place of the name? 26 members of Jethro Tull was in place for 46 years and has gained importance in the history of all groups. I as an individual who is not a musician, including songs and music heritage is more important. Music you're sure will continue for a further 40 years of your life, what would be your dream on? In my opinion, I think that it will continue for another 20 years even ambitious enough. At my age, concert tours or on their plans for new projects at more sense to do so after two years. Photography, theater, I have discovered that many different areas of interest such as the new science of religion. Not to mention that I love spending time with my 2 children and 2 grandchildren there. Your last album after Homo Erraticus; What will be your new projects? To continue to do what I mentioned above, and also lyrics book with string quartet to prepare the album. I will give 70 concerts in 2016 will make me very busy. Gerald Bostock's when we learned the story of a middle-aged man and now he's back in the Homo Erraticus. Also, who figures on the album cover? Gerald also an older man now, as we can reconcile with his many listeners in their fatigue or anger. Fortunately, there's still a sense of humor of the situation is stabilizing! If the figures on the album cover "Spearman". Struggling to survive in this cruel world; you, your neighbor, your friend or your enemy might be. www.haberturk.com/yasam/haber/1162805-2-cocugum-ve-2-de-torunum-var

I know Old Webby is going to Istanbul for the concert so (a) as he's good with languages he may be able to translate the article better and (b) he should be hopefully fluent in Turkish to order his round of beers.

Jethro Tull in 1978 ... Interview Ian ANDERSONThe output of the Jethro Tull album, "Heavy Horses" in spring 1978 was accompanied by a promotional tour of Ian Anderson, undisputed leader of this great British band. lan being the only original member, it was interesting to meet him after so long recording career of eleven years. Regarding the new album, is it really a step forward? Not really. Musically, it is a continuation of the previous as it is a collection of songs written over a year. By cons, we are more focused this time on the texts. We tried to make it a more "universal" album with "lyrics" are to the glory of the countryside and the people who live there. But actually "Heavy Horses" and "Songs from the woods" complement perfectly and logically to the next heading in a different direction. I consider the most important texts you wrote back to "Aqualung". Do you go back to the texts as "committed"? In "Aqualung", I turn ideas I already had since the age of 15! Today it would be dishonest of me to use these same ideas about evolution and experience I have gained ten years of experience. It is difficult to attack the system when it is installed, it is an honest point. Politically and socially, I am interested in what is happening around me but the language I would use today to treat policy would be far too complicated to be carried by the rock ... and if I simplify this language for adapt to rock, I distorts the senses! Do you think you can change people's lives, have a political impact? Yes, and that is very dangerous. It is very dangerous to turn people with songs ... and winning some money on their backs. At the beginning of a career, is believed to remain intact. But once the dollar starts to rain, we are in no position to engage. The most typical example is that of Bob Dylan is no longer a "folk hero. And it is already the case for the "new wave" success will destroy it. The Tull there is ONE OF the public or public? The same question could be asked of any group. Recognize that the Italians are a stupid audience with excellence, by their excessive politicization. The French are also a relatively difficult public because there is not real rock network. The current France turns to Abba; moreover, concert organizers are shabby. In Germany, it's better because the organizers are very effective and it shows on the public. As for Spain, there are virtually no places to play. Have you abandoned the concept - albums, like "Passion Play" and "Thick as a Brick" because of criticism? No .... It was the end of an experience, an evolution. Moreover, we ran into some problems scene: play all of these albums in concert tantamount to not being able to play only one other song. That is why we have gradually shortcuts both until they can INTEGRATE If the show without devouring it! Regarding the critics, moreover, I must say that I am always sensitive and attentive to the constructive comments .... But it turns out that in England the release of "Thick ..." and "Passion Play "it was found that chronic bluntly decreed that of the two albums were crappy without bothering to explain why. These free criticisms are null and, in addition, they affect the public who, not having a lot of money still hesitate to buy the disc and dragged through the mud. For ten years you're the "pied piper", the one-legged flute rock. Do not you sick of this and do not you intend one day to make a record without any notes flute? On the contrary ! In my projects, there is the realization of an album of music for the ballet "performée" by a classic flutist. On the other hand, I play as much guitar, mandolin etc ... The flute is only used when needed for the color of a piece. Did you meet Roland Kirk and are you thinking have helped to make it better known? I do not think he needed me to be known! I met him one day at a club and he dedicated a song. A nod to what I learned from him! On the end of his career he was strongly committed to the black political movements and his music has been affected, has increased. In 1968, Tull was fully integrated into the British Blues. Having evolved so much and especially to be always in the foreground is it not largely due to the influence of Martin "Lancelot" Barre? Entirely accurate. If Mick Abrahams had remained, the group no longer exist. It is impossible to work with him. He was interested only blues and country & Western. He refused to travel the country with us and only accepted three concerts a week. I saw him a few months ago, he introduced me to some songs of his own composition, but it was pretty bad. Today it is a demonstrator for a brand of guitars, Yamaha. Are there people who you would like to register? Not really. We work in a closed circle and that is enough. Moreover, no one ever offered to come and play on our records! But it's better this way, I am one hundred percent focused on the music of Tull. Do you not fear that this withdrawal into yourself cause you to stagnate? No. I never listen to music from other groups, but each musician Jethro Tull evolves. Everyone is changing its side and when we meet, each brings something new. For a time, Jethro Tull on stage was limited to long solo, each member is responsible for at least twenty minutes of improvisation. The group at that time he did not risk falling into boredom? Jethro Tull is not really guilty of wanting to bore his audience! To this point, we would rather talk at length about Emerson, Lake Palmer them can not stand each other to the point of each traveling in different cars. No, seriously, at that time we thought the public was fond of long solo. What are your immediate plans? In the next two years, we therefore intend to prepare a classic album. An acoustic album is scheduled for the fall, a double LP in concert. But, against, still no solo album in sight for no members. What is the current financial situation in Great - Britain regarding the musicians? Exactly the same as it was six years ago, when many British groups were exiled in the States because were stifled by taxes. Today, the same. We live all year on the profits we make on American concerts. It is through the States we can play in Australia, Japan and France ...!

Maybe a re-post somewhere down the line
Ian Anderson - NAMM Oral History Program Interview

Ian Anderson grew up in England during the 1960s and had a long list of guitar heroes who inspired him to play music. However, he found the power of people like Eric Clapton to be disconcerting, as young Ian felt inferior next to such guitar gods. He felt his best chances to success in rock was to play an instrument that Clapton did not play and so he found his way to the flute. Ian’s ear and passion for music allowed the otherwise non-rock instrument to not only fit in, but to become an influence. He formed the innovative rock group Jethro Tull, recorded a string of best selling albums and toured the world.

Confession: I STILL haven't digested the new songs...and don't think i can till I put them on a CD, all in a row and listen to them over and over again. But I'm not smart enough to get them off you tube and I don't have them on any boots, yet. Anyone willing to cook me a CD with the 5 new songs from the opera will be rewarded on earth, in heaven and can expect gratitude, gifts, personal servitude and my second born child.*
* Longshot....I'm fixed.

www.novinky.cz/ Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull: I'm not a jukebox on two legsBritish singer, musician and songwriter Ian Anderson (68) is best known as the founder and leading figure in British Jethro Tull. Soon head to the Czech Republic to 29 January in Prague's Karlin Forum and a day later at the Ostrava Gong introduced, along with other musicians Jethro Tull show The Rock Opera. 21 January 2016 www.novinky.cz/kultura/392456-ian-anderson-z-jethro-tull-nejsem-jukebox-na-dvou-nohach.htmlHer program will cross-section of the best of Jethro Tull and is conceived as the story of the band viewed from the near future. Czech Republic to bring rock opera Jethro Tull The Rock Opera. How actually created?In the summer of 2014, I drove north Italy. I noticed there different approaches to agriculture, and I wondered what he called an old Jethro Tull, after which we had named our band. It was an agricultural pioneer who in the eighteenth century invented the seed drill. I found that in fact visited France and Italy and learned the local farming practices. "I want to get people talking and
laughing, but underneath those
smiles they offer serious topics" I thought it would be interesting to take his story and set it in the present or near future, think about what he would do if he was to be an agricultural innovator tomorrow. What, then, do you think?We will need to act very intelligently and come up with techniques to increase agricultural production. This is necessary because the population is growing, ongoing climate change and we face the challenge of how less land to grow more food. It'll be pretty rough. We must learn to work with biotechnology. A lot of people do not want to eat genetically modified foods, they are afraid. But in the future we will have to convince. Without these technologies and more, nine billion people on the planet nenakrmíme. It would also be advisable to eat less meat, because it's very wasteful option board. But people need to rethink yourself, it may be that they'll tell me or the government. After all, it would solve itself if we started to treat women as equals. There are many countries where people treat them as second-class servants to men. I will not name them, it can alone. Name it and disgracing them. But let's get back to business. I liked it as a sub-theme of the story. Do not present a story about climate change, politics and ecology, it's just a subtext. "I want to get people talking and laughing,
but underneath those smiles
they offer to more serious topics." What are the reactions of fans? They leave from you preach?They laugh and enjoy the concert. Do not even think about any of those deep thoughts, and that's fine. It has to be fun. They had come to hear their favorite songs from the band Jethro Tull, and we are filled them. In addition to colorful, colorful form, even with guests. I do not need the message fully lived, because I'm not there. I was on stage to entertain people. For his personal satisfaction but I need something to communicate. I do not just come on stage and be a jukebox on two legs. Or even one. How much has changed arrangements of songs Jethro Tull for this opera?There are slight changes, I could odvyprávět story. Because of that, I also changed some of the lyrics - there are songs that have a few other words or even the entire chorus. Somewhere I need to change those to me or me to do. Arrangements, however, are almost identical to the original recordings. Apparently the opera will also feature brand new songs. Are they really the news of recent or unpublished songs from the old days?It contains five new songs. I write now to supplement the details of the story. It's a short track. Moreover, they are worn with short transitions between songs that unite and put in operatic style. That's why I called it a rock opera. But the musical style is classic musicals or opera, it's a rock. I'm with that name very happy, but I did not invent anything, what would people aptly suggested, what's going on. In music history, several rock operas. Which do you like?First, I remember Tommy by The Who in 1974. This is probably the archetype of the rock opera. But I included under the term and the good work of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, if we understand the rock opera like rock music in an arrangement that carries the story. "Alanis Morissette is a great singer,
but I would be beside her every
morning to wake up and make
that fatal mistake, I asked her how she feels" But you're always liked telling stories in music, is not it?Sometimes I tell stories, sometimes it was more of a description. Even more often. I like krajinomalíř who wants people to get into their image. I like to talk about people, but not in a portrait style. I do not provide context. I'm more like an observer of people and conditions. Sometimes telling a story, sometimes I say something about yourself. But not too often, because I really seldom write about their emotions. I do it least of all. Why?They do this all the others. All young writers about them they write their first song. Frankly, it's pretty boring. When you are more than twenty, you've already been through it all and not so interesting to listen to Alanis Morissette, as is sung over and over again. It's a great singer, but I would be beside her every morning to wake up and make that fatal mistake, I asked her how she feels. Also, I would not begin to tell and I would have to cover his ears because I've heard it all.

www.jazziz.com/GFAGIEN FEATURE, PODCAST JANUARY 25, 2016 Ian Anderson of Jethro TullOur guest for this episode of JAZZIZ Not What You Think is Jethro Tull’s intriguing leader, Mr. Ian Anderson. When Jethro Tull entered the music scene, they opened the eyes and ears of a generation of music fans with their new kind of fusion; mixing rock with folk, blues, jazz and classical music with unusual visual references through Anderson’s coloful lyrics and “stories”. And unlike other prog rockers of the time, Anderson’s music encompassed a certain humor mixed in with the band’s musical hooks, rock riffs and modicums of extended acoustic and electronic solo instrumentation. Today ‘Tull remains unsurpassed as the most commerically successful eccentric progressive rock bands of all time and the articulate Anderson naturally had a lot to say … from the progressive rock era when Yes, Genesis and Emerson, Lake and Palmer ruled to Frank Zappa to spirituality and even his own financial support of Scottish cathedrals. Anderson also delves into a few seminal “Tull moments”, including when Jimmy page walked into the studio during one of Martin Barre’s solos and cheered him on, and how the band leader was still learning to play the flute during the making Tull’s earliest albums. The pop flautist also had some interesting comments about improvisation and jazz, and how jazz was his first/real introduction to music. For Tull newbies,(with a Spotify account) CLICK HERE to check out about an hour of some of our favorite Tull tunes and we hope you enjoy a conversation with the very gifted, progressive rock legend, Ian Anderson.
