I'd say Jethro listened to Frank in '73.

In fact, Beefheart opened for Tull around that time. One of the clues
for the crossword inside the TAAB "newspaper" reads "What Captain
Beefheart's Willie is doing (7)."
All of them have said good things about FZ, too. Barrie Barlow
mentioned in one interview that he sent Art Tripp a drum set in the
mail in the 80's to try to get him to start playing again.

What's a seven-letter word for "standing on the porch of the Lido Hotel"?

My guess was that the answer was "pimping." But most of the other
clues are so cryptic (e.g. "A capital sort of Derek Small's underwear
(2)") that I doubt the crossword is solvable.

"Pimping" is correct. The crossword is solvable (most of the answers
are scatological), although I am not too sure I see the sense of the
Derek Small answer, which I know is "SU" (initials of "Small's
underwear"?) only because it is formed by the last letters of "anus"
and "erect gnu."

Yeah but <cough> what everyone seems to be missing is that I was asking
was FZ influenced by Tull, not th'other way round.
E.g. Loco Breath earlier than PJ people, maybe FZ liked the intro to
that tune and PJ ppl is his own take on it. Yeah it's a long shot,
what else is there these days?

If FZ knew Tull's music, I don't think he ever mentioned it. IMO, the
intros to both songs are so thoroughly steeped in blues
fundamentals/cliches that I think it's not very likely FZ got the idea
from Tull.

Jethro Tull (1674-1741) was an agriculturalist in Berkshire England, his,
most notable acheivement was the invention of the seed drill.
I think he meant Ian Anderson said that he was learning.

It could be - as it was the secret word that caused such an uproar at

recently I had NO idea at all what it could mean.

So you know now? Do tell. (I guess I should be checking Tull forums
more often...)

Is the newspaper reproduced or even readable in the CD ?

I recall reading an interview in about late 1972 in which Frank was
asked which rock groups were doing creative things. Frank's response
was Jethro Tull and Traffic. I don't remember what magazine the
interview appeared in, but I suspect it was Rolling Stone.
