Really don’t mind if you sit this one out....

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

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.

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.

Thanks for the music. RIP.

New Day Yesterday - perhaps the first 3/4 piece I’d heard with heavy rock drums.

Inside - sweet melody, excellent phrasing.

Bourree - Handel as cheesy lounge act stuff (sorry).

Nothing is Easy - high energy rallying song, excellent phrasing.

With You There to Help Me - cool vocal fifths, breaking into melodic chorus. Laughing flute over the top.

To Cry You A Song - driving guitar harmonies, great baseline rock.

Inside - nice groove, pretty melody, moving flute and guitar counters. Fifths harmony in the chorus.

RIP.

I graduated high school in Chicago in 1969, having imbibed nothing stronger than booze, with shortish hair, wore nice slacks and shirts to college. This describes in the main all of us midwestern kids, I presume to say. But 1970 and beyond, the country coast to coast was now in lock-step: long hair, jeans, dope, anti-establishment thinking. One's appearance signaled to passing motorists when hitch-hiking that one was of the hippie brotherhood, and could count on getting picked up by fellow travelers, and as one moved from state to state, town to town, the hippie brotherhood was a ubiquitous connection.

Now a retired high school teacher, I spent years apologizing to students for my generation's destructive legacy: moral relativism.
