Jethro Tull



In my quest to brighten my life with more music, as I worked on class materials yesterday, I decided to listen to "Jethro Tull".  They were a favorite of mine when I was younger, but I have not listened to them in a very long time.  Utilizing "YouTube" helped a great deal, as I do not have any CD or audio file recordings of any of their work (I have LPs of them).  I was happy to get reacquainted with Ian Anderson's voice and flute skills.  The above image is of Ian Anderson during the mid 1970s.  He was a pipe smoker back then.  Not sure if he still indulges or not these days.

    I used to think Jethro Tull were the best band of all. I liked the feeling of non-conformity they had about them. I bought all there vinyl LPs in the late 60s and 70s and still have them. It's on my mental list of subjects on which to write a blog post.

    But several years ago I bought some of their DVDs of live concerts and interviews with the band. How disappointing to find Ian Anderson coming across as so smug and conceited.

    The times they came out were in my opinion the best years of popular music. There were no rules, just do what you do, let the music speak for you. Tull definitely did not fit any mold at first. Then they went mainstream and well, I lost interest.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
