Ya never know....... The Danish band: Disneyland After Dark... had some small degree of trouble, because of the name and was forced to change it. They changed it to: D-A-D. Not one of my favorite bands, but in case you want to hear one of their tunes, here is one of them... (...This is actually not that B-A-D... IMO...)

NOT THE MOST OBSCURE JETHRO TULL REFERENCE, BUT REASONABLY CLOSE"You see that church; the mortal remains of Jethro Tull lie buried in that ground. A very great man in the world of agricultural mechanization!"...... at the 51:20 point, a most blatant reference to the history of Jethro Tull is issued, via Three Man In A Boat, some fine summer boating and to gracefully underline the occasion, some fine banjo playing! www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9xvrbfyKGQ

Funny how giant corporations are so sensitive.....a local japanese restaurant here called Mc Sushis actually had to change the name. Being the geek of the group figured I'd add my two coppers. The original Dungeons and Dragons games are completely different than the current D&D games, which play more like video games. But Hasbro/Wizards of the Coast have everything so legally locked up, I don't think you can use the term "Dungeon Master" without getting sued. It's too funny. Folks who still play the older games (myself included in that) had to write a clone of the original rules, taking all the IP and copywritten material out, so that we could publish modules and supplements to share with each other of the game we are playing. A game which is really dead to the company, they don't support it or make any money off of it. Fun fun!

More: The decline and fall of the "work-life balance" by Yo Zushi Published 6 August, 2015 - 08:39 Jethro Tull had heart trouble. Born into Berkshire gentry in 1674, Tull was trained for a career in law but withdrew from the profession when his health declined and he travelled across the Continent in search of a cure. While in Italy and France, he observed farmers’ practices there and returned home inspired, eager to push British agriculture further through the application of science. In 1701, he developed a horse-drawn drill that planted seeds in orderly rows. It was a significant development in the mechanisation of crop cultivation, increasing efficiency and, in theory, reducing labour time. Such innovations were expected to make life easier for us all: technology would eventually render work a diminished burden. But, as Bertrand Russell pointed out in 1932, while it has “given us the possibility of ease and security . . . we have chosen, instead, to have overwork for some and starvation for others”. A couple of years earlier, John Maynard Keynes had fantasised about how a “15-hour week” could be a possibility for his grandchildren’s generation. We now work, on average, about 43 hours a week in the UK – more than the European average of 41.6.

From Ansel Adams to Calvin: The Surprising Inspiration for Landscape Art Posted: 08/14/2015 12:43 pm EDT Updated: 08/14/2015 1:59 pm EDT Credit: Wikimedia Commons / Thomas Gainsborough One of Hogarth's students was Thomas Gainsborough. A Dissenter from the former Puritan stronghold of Sudbury, Gainsborough painted superb portraits for a living, but he preferred landscapes. When possible, he combined the two and portrayed wealthy clients on the grounds of their estates. He included a good deal of moral commentary in his paintings. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Andrews of ca. 1750, for example, prominently includes straight rows of wheat on the right. They told the viewer that Andrews had adopted the latest agricultural invention, Jethro Tull's seed drill, and by good stewardship increased agricultural abundance. A steeple that rises above the greenery in the distance suggests piety, while a barn implies prudence and providence. Gainsborough was the first in the line of great English landscape painters, including Constable and Turner.

'The tractor is on it's way' "Heavy horses, move the land under me. Behind the plough gliding, slipping and sliding free. Now you're down to the few, and theres no work to do. The tractors on, its way." - Ian Anderson/ from the song Heavy Horses
