Denial usually means don't tip off the cops or customs. Avoid the search. You mean these guys weren't stoned... on coffee...
Are you suggesting Mr Anderson was being, er, economical with the truth when he spoke of his clean-living ways on tour?
Maybe he means S,D and R and R in terms of his surroundings...but most every interview I ever heard or read with him he said the same thing...no drugs, including the dreaded weed. He was a heavy smoker of the regular stuff, though.
Jethro Tull founder: 'I guess I have to be a rock star' Associated Press Published on Jan 23, 2018 Jethro Tull frontman Ian Anderson originally wanted to be a policeman or journalist and fell into music as his "Plan C." (Jan. 23)
Jethro Tull: touring improves with time Jethro Tull frontman Ian Anderson talks touring and explains why he likes to perform in churches and cathedrals. (Jan. 22)
I did not know this until last year. The way he sang about cigs on Benefit, always made me think it was code for Mary Jane.
"Jethro Tull: Remixes, Outtakes, Live" - Ric on the Radio, Thursday night @ 9pm This week, Ric presents Jethro Tull: Remixes, Outtakes, Live. Jethro Tull combined hard rock, progressive rock and British folk to create one of the most distinctive bodies of work in rock history. Most of the "classic" Tull albums (from 1968's This Was to 1978's Heavy Horses) have received the deluxe/bonus/rarities treatment. We'll delve deep into these rarely heard tracks, including outstanding remixes by Steven Wilson, of Porcupine Tree. Hear Ric on the Radio Thursday January 25th, 9-11pm, on KRCB-FM Radio 91!
FWIW Ian Anderson Presents JETHRO TULL 50th Anniversary Tour June 1/8:00 PM / Doors 6:30PM at the Greek Theatre.
I daren't open this now, because it might contain contraband. Give it to John, supplement his Camels. We occasionally cut his fingernails off and smoke them.
Another way to appreciate Jethro Tull. Posted this over in the beer thread but thought I'd cross-post here too. Local micro-craft-brewery "Sidetrack Brewing" (named because their in our Railyard area) did a special IPA...."Locomotive Breath" - how could I not have some?
I'm not clear if Ian hand picked the Hits album, but it reads that he did the 50. But I was a little perplexed at the 15 just in general. Who in the world is that target demographic? Head scratcher for me.
Living in the Past has always been one of my favorites. What a nice bunch of songs. The acoustic stuff is phenomenal. There's a lip-sync version of Witch's Promise on YouTube that shows Ian at his goofy best. Heavy Horses is just an amazing album throughout. To me the albums that precede Aqualung show a band in progress. With Aqualung, the band went into a higher orbit. TAAB and SFTW are outstanding of course. Frequently I'm in the mood to listen to some of the later albums: Broadsword, Crest of the Knave, Rock Island, and Catfish Rising.
