Really don’t mind if you sit this one out....
Probably bad timing.
Damn. I remember when I bought the “20 Years of Tull” CD set in 1986 when I was 16. Jethro Tull is one of my favorite bands. When I learned in high school that my photography teacher also was a huge Tull (and Pink Floyd) fan, it was such a great moment. He was very proud of us youngin’s and I was his Teacher’s Aide and lab boss for two years.
Prayers up... RIP
I’m going to play Thick As A Brick for my kids today. Thank you for reminding me.
And he died in my little Pacific village of Hilo. His buddy lived here, he came to visit a few years ago, fell in love with the town & moved here. He played just a few gigs, all of them benefits for causes.
but it's an old day now.
“Going back to the ones that I know, With whom I can be what I want to be.
Sad. Another hippie bites the dust.
I wonder, how did he make a living? Was there enough work for him in his myriad corporate bands after Dull, and session work?
I don’t want to start a music fight about tastes and such, but I was subjected to this type of music growing up by osmosis due to it’s ubiquity, along with all the other 70’s behemoth bands.
I really believe that Jethro Tull and many of these corporate bands of that time produced the worst music of all time.
Just god-awful stuff.
But worse, the ethos and culture they represented and lead is exactly what has brought England down to it’s knees now.
When we look back at this litany of garbage that came out of England then, which became the height of culture and commerce and to dominate that society, it’s not hard to see how England gave itself up.
He was Too Old To Rock ‘n’ Roll, Too Young To Die!
You are entitled to your opinion, no matter how stupid it is, and even though it’s on a RIP thread. Your poor taste (in at least two areas) is obvious. Get bent.

A bit young to end up in a hospice.
Just god-awful stuff.
It would be a crappy world if there was only one approved music style we could listen to.
Benefit and Stand Up were their best...IMHO
Thanks for the music. RIP.

I’ll fight for your right to your opinion no matter how convoluted it may be. :{)
Deaths always make one reflective.
How did we get to where we are today?
These bands had unprecedented strength in driving the culture.
