Nice picture anyway, Jim! Nobody knows everything, and thankfully that leaves us room for future investigation... Life's a long Enigma... I for instance didn't know that Ian was interested in the universe... I love it too... Lots of fascinating stuff out there!

At first glance, I thought we had a new thread called 'Tull Enemas'...now THAT would have been an enigma !

Most important Tull discovery ever: has anyone noticed that in the original group photo of the front cover of TAAB, those characters with Gerald, that the further back away from the camera the person is, the less conservative they are? Total formality at the front, party lady at the back.
This changes everything.

Total formality at the front, party lady at the back. This changes everything. It certainly does! Did you also notice that if you type TAAB without the JT tag you go directly to TAAB* Laboratories a world wide organisation that provides equipment for the Life Sciences market. *THRUSH/UNCLE?

... and who is hiding under the mask? Is it Ian... or is it André C. Le Breton...? (Gerald Bostock) ... or just a normal low born so and so...?

What's the other thing he's holding in his hand? For some reason it reminds me of a noose which may be used for hanging. Perhaps he was hung and then carries the noose as a reminder of his ability to survive.
The eye image also looks more like Ian. Ian Anderson as Clint Eastwood in "Hang 'em High".

It's a roll of coins for pay phones, pay toilets, vending machines and bribes he has to pay in his erratic wanderings.

Guilty in full of crimes against all American working people. Of all people who do not see their addresses at locales like Carmel, California. I will stare that steely eyed gaze down any old day. Needs to be taken to the woodshed and spend the rest of his life working 16 hour days that still do not pay the rent, and very certainly not in a locale like Carmel.

Thanks Sherlock www.lowtechmagazine.com/Few realize the importance that knots and cords have played in human history. It is remarkable that they are not even mentioned in otherwise great books on the history of technology. Yet, it is hard to find any important technology developed over the last 250,000 years that did not, in some way, make use of ropes and knots. Starting in prehistoric times, they were used for hunting, pulling, fastening, attaching, carrying, lifting and climbing.
Some early examples of their applications are fishing nets, hunting traps, tying stones to sticks to make spears and harpoons, the construction of bows, building shelters, making baskets, fastening clothes, tying animals (and people), harnessing horses and oxen to chariots, and constructing rafts. Cordage of some kind, and the knots needed to make it work, have played a crucial role in the earliest technological development of man.

Hello there Tull Enigmas, what an interesting article this is. A friend has just brought it to my attention, as it was me who portrayed Gerald Bostock so many years ago. And back in 2012 managed to meet up with Ian at the "Beautiful Days" festival. But alas I'm still waiting on a curry that Ian has promised me.

Welcome to the JT Forum and all that we have to offer. Your recollections about your connections with Tull and also the photoshoot for the cover of the album would be of great interest to us here.

We all know about your fictional life... the what-ifs, maybes, and might-have-beens. We know that you've been adrift and dumfounded. We know about dear old Mr. Jennings, good house master. But tell us about the real YOU. As a chorister, you lived at 25 Mulberry Close. As a military man, you lived at 33 Mulberry Drive. As a most ordinary man, you lived at 54 Mulberry Lane. As a homosexual homeless ragamuffin, you lived at 17 Mulberry Crescent. Where are you living now? We'd all love to hear about it!
