He used to be quite a feisty guy.

Marriage and age seems to have made him more...um..."cautious"....;]

[Cyber Liberty]

I went to a JT concert a few years ago. The only reason I went was because Emerson, Lake & Palmer were the warm-up act. Left halfway into the JT, though because Anderson wouldn't shut up and play the music. Beat the parking lot rush.

And no one's even mentioned the seminal Minstrel in the Gallery.

Zero to the Power of Ten ... Equals Nothing at All ... Which is an apt description of today's liberals.

I wore out the grooves on my copy of Minstrel in the Gallery.

[Salamander]

"Zero to the Power of Ten ... Equals Nothing at All ... Which is an apt description of today's liberals."

LOL!

How apt....;D

I still have the vinyl but only play burned copies of the original CDs now.
[and have transferred them all to iPod anyway so even they don't get out of the CD case much any more]

[Locomotive Breath]

"Tolerance and mutual respect"

I took this as the children of Islamics having to be taught this not the children of the West.

[GoLightly]

Tull certainly has a way with words.

I didn't know you could get the range of songs for an iPod. After I dig myself ot of the hole I've managed to get myself into, I'll have to look into it.

I know the looks yer talking about, though prolly for a different reason... middle aged lady tooling down the road in my geezermobil, all of the windows open, the radio blaring... depending on the phase I've been in; Metallica, Scorps & Queensrych or Alice in Chains, The Guffs & Better than Ezra or Enya, Sarah McLachlan, Chris Isaacs & Tori Amos or Berlin, Blondie & Soft Cell or Renaissance & Tull (Witches Promise must be played loud to appreciate the two flute echo effect).... Why yes, I know I'm a half a click off thankyouverymuch. LOL

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.... and other Western Ballads... ex had that one too.

[Salamander]

The guy wrote quadruple entendres.....LOL!

The "looks" crack me up and I frequently milk it for all it's worth..

Many moons ago, one of my email addies was "Witches Promise".
That caused a *lot* of misunderstandings....;D

The iPod comes with iTunes and when you pop in a CD, it just copies and formats the CD tracks for use on the iPod.
Simple as that.
They're really cool and very portable, actually.

[GoLightly]

You want horror stories?.... In a fit of teenage religious zeal(extreme Pentecostal legalistic youth evangelist came to town) I burned my entire vinyl collection. The Tull was the most complete of any part of my collections, including several imports and rare pressings. One point of redemption, I did manage to destroy my mother's Sonny and Cher album. Too late, I knew I had screwed up when the "evangelist" claimed to see demonic images in the flames.....

YIKES That's downright criminal.

[Jhensy]

Funny, just the other day I heard 'Hunting Girl', a track from 'Songs From The Wood' I hadn't heard in... had to be 25 years at least.

Those haunting organ refrains, those intricate stop-and-go time patterns, and that KILLER guitar riff -- I couldn't believe how good that song sounded.

I remember 'Songs' and 'Aqualung' as their best LPs, time to revisit the catalogue.

[VOA]

Thanks especially for the second link.
I'd heard of the insult...but not of Anderson trying to make amends.

As for going to Israel right now, that's a prett gutsy move.

[GoLightly]

I like a bunch of their their other stuff too. Aqualung... the one album non-Tull fans know. It got too much airplay, while everything else got too little.

[Ueriah]

And your wise men don't know how it feels... to be thick as a brick.

btw... what did I lose? ;P

[VOA]

A few more stories like that and you've got yourself a movie.
That would be better than 95% of the crap Hollywood puts out.

[wireman]

Aqualung is a great album (Locomotive Breath and My God did get a lot of airplay). I just think the three before it were better, while the ones that came after were not quite as good... Not bad, just not as good.

[GoLightly]

I still count Benefit as a favorite.

Yes, I agree.

"Don't Cry My Lady Love" by Quicksilver was his song to/for me. "Our" song was "Baby I Love Your Way" by Frampton... Danced to it on the top deck of a riverboat during a stop in St. Louis... 1976. I never really had a song to or for him.

Broadsword & The Beast... Crest of a Knave, I liked that phase of Tull.

[TypeZoNegative]

XGF and family drama.

[Uriah_lost]

Uriah was my handle for a long time (favorite tragic character in the old Testament), I needed more characters for an ebay login name and this just seemed right.
Honestly Uriah Heap didn't enter into it.....

[Uriah_lost]

Don't get me started on life at an Assemblies of God Bible college. I was wiser by then but most of the poor kids there.....not so much....
I could call it "Adventures in Faithyness"

[GoLightly]

When I heard this, I thought of you.

Wow. I had no idea videos like this were out there on the web.

Zeppelin is simply out of this world. No one else comes close.
