Odd enough... I am one of those people that knows the libretto for that whole album... I own one of the 1st pressings with the actual newsprint jacket.

It is my underdtanding that, here, 40-something years later, cats are still on the upgrade. Upgrade?

Which one ?

An American Prayer vinyl is something to hold.

The Kinks “One for the Road” vinyl or otherwise is probably the best live album ever produced.

Jethro Tull, Ian Anderson, is a genius.

I had the unfortunate pleasure of signing up for Columbia records “buy one, get 13 for free” deal sometime around 1973.

With no idea of what I was in for, wasted many picks on the Beach Bros, but happened into Jethro Tull.

I was 11 years old at the time.

Between “Thick as a Brick”, “Too old too Rock and Roll” and later “Songs from the Wood”, I found a genius.

It was much later that I even heard, much less understood “Locomotive Breath” or “Aqualung”.

Music has a long history with the expression of social or cultural changes, but it seems to me that those issues have been set aside.

I suppose, nobody wants to be told that they are idiots.

Upgrade ?
