Jethro Tull

Jethro Tull invented some farm implement in old England. Some kind of plow. Never knew WHY Ian Anderson took the name.

Saw them back in '74 or so at a high school (yes, high school) fieldhouse in Joliet. Backed up by UFO. One of my best ever concerts. He's still pretty spry onstage today.

John R. Hall

Saw Tull twice

During my out-of-mind days as a teen. Now my kids love 'Locomotive Breath' (not to be confused with my breath).

ScottMP

He did

but also envented the seed drill ...

The band was looking for a name and apparantly a booking agent gave them the name.

Always a great concert.

Auditorem .Great Show, He still has it. This was the lovely Yan Wha's first rock concert . My Kayla's (8 months) favrite video is Ian Anderson with Lucia Micarelle playing Kashmir.

Crawling down the corridor

on his hands and knees, my god he took the hammer, and the train it won't stop going, no way to slow down. Locomotive Breath. One of my favorites. Also Aqualung. "Sitting on a park bench....eyeing little girls with bad intent. Snot running down his nose....greasy fingers spearing shabby clothes..Hey Aqua-Lung.

Propped up on one leg...

He is a one of a kind. Flute players in the Rock Pantheon? Having worked around a number of operable steam locomotives, "Locomotive Breath" was always the hand's down crew favorite.

Paul Fredricks_3

Saw their Burstin Out tour in 1979 (?) in New Haven. I still get goosebumps thinking about it. What a show!

Oh, and Charlie stole the handle.

Jethro Tull, the man

Jethro Tull invented a plow that drilled the soil and planted wheat. Was Lynard Skynard really the band's high school gym teacher?

Bill W@Honeywell

I always heard...

that the man's name was Leonard Skinner, and the band lampooned his name and made it theirs in teen-age mockery.

Dave_4

Leonard Skinner

Yes he was the HS gym teacher of the boys from Jacksonville. Wasn't he also a lyric in Allen Sherman's "hello Mudda', Hello Fadda'"? "please remember Leonard Skinner, he got ptomaine after dinner..."


Aren't we all just "Skating away on the thin ice of a new day"?

What a songwriter!
