"Worst Band Ever"
Flute solos in rock and roll! In every song! ROFL!! And they dressed like wee English gnomes.
Spinal Tap had nothing on Jethro Tull. They were impossible to parody.

Anderson/Jethro Tull is scheduled to play Saturday at the Count Basie Theater in Redbank and in Collingswood tomorrow at the Scottish Write Auditorium.I think they meant Scottish RITE Auditorium. Too bad if there's some electrical problems etc. I can't imagine the men who are members of that particular organization would be too thrilled with having an anti-American performing on their stage.
If you don't like America, there's a whole big world out there where you can live. Don't think you can stay here, take advantage of all this country offers, and then bash it. These people make me sick.

These comments from the man who brought us this 'intelligent' dribble:
Aqualung
Sitting on a park bench
eyeing little girls with bad intent.
Snot running down his nose --
greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes.
Drying in the cold sun --
Watching as the frilly panties run.
Feeling like a dead duck --
spitting out pieces of his broken luck.

"If you dont wish to see our Flag, take your butt back to Great Britain ... (and) dont let the door hit you on your way out," one anonymous critic known as Gunner Mike wrote last night on the popular political Web site, www.freerepublic.com.
PING!

More Classic Tull from Thick as a Brick
"My sperm's in the gutter,
Your love's in the sink."
Still, I have liked some classic Tull
"Once in Royal David's city
Stood a lonely cattle shed,
There a mother held a baby.
You'll do well to remember the things he later said."
To: Pikamax
As for containing Saddam Hussein, Anderson said that task should have been handled by the U.N. not the U.S. led coalition.The UN couldn't prevent Ian Anderson's music from being broadcast of the airwaves, much less "contain Saddam Hussein." I never liked Jethro Tull's "music" so it would be no great loss to me if I never heard from him/them again...

"My sperm's in the gutter, Your love's in the sink." You've got the lyrics wrong. Google before posting...

Brit pop stars can't seem to shut their traps about politics. They don't know their place as shallow entertainers. I was at a Phil Collins concert when he stopped the show to exhort the audience to contribute to peace or homeless or some crap. I yelled out "shut up and sing"! and I got thousands of angry stares.
I did hear a few men laughing however. I'd do it again in a second. Someone needs to remind these fools that we choose to get our politics from sober adults, not spoiled Peter Pan burnouts.

When they were getting the excrement beaten out of them twice by the Huns and the Nazis, who did they call on for help and what flag did our troops carry? At the cost of thousands of our troop's lives, we saved their collective behinds in both world wars. This comment goes for the cowardly Frenchies too! Send these anti-American rockers back to socialist England where their hate messages are accepted by even more Britidiots.

Brit pop stars can't seem to shut their traps about politics Pete Townshend seemed to be one of the most pro-American of the has-been pop crowd, then he gets busted for kiddie porn. You can't win.
To: Tallguy
While Mr. Anderson has a problem with the narrow-minded nationalists who display the flag, he has no problem taking their money. He'd probably love it even more if they brought their friends along - even if it means they all have to fit in an SUV to get there.
According to a liberal, a patriot is someone who agrees with them. A nationalist is someone who opposes them.
To: Pikamax; sauropod
"Its easy to confuse patriotism with nationalism," he added. Easy for him, anyway.
As for containing Saddam Hussein, Anderson said that task should have been handled by the U.N. not the U.S. led coalition.
I really get tired of explaining this to people. We already HAD him contained. It was necessary to *remove* him.
The UN would have been happy to have him "contained" forever, so that they could continue to skim off the Oil for Food funds, Saddam could continue killing and starving people (not to mention sending bounty payments to the families of suicide bombers, and building tacky palaces with that same money), and the US and Great Britain could pay for the "containment" in perpetuity.
Thanks, but no thanks.
To: Pikamax
Just as with the Dixie Chicks...I could not care less what the individuals say or think...if I enjoy their music, I will continue to listen to/buy it.

A pity, really - yet another aging musician who used to pride himself on independent thought turns out to have bought into conventional wisdom after all. If Ian and the lads ever do tour Iraq they might just have their eyes opened.
