Who is Edward Bear?
David Hawk
look around and blame the mess on Edward Bear? The only English Edward Bear
with whom I am acquainted is the stuffed animal belonging to the son of
satirist A.A. Milne - Edward Bear of Winnie-the(r)-Pooh fame. But then I am
a Yank, so what do I know? (Even more ignorant of English stuff - a
Cherokee/Penn Deutsche Yank.)

Edward Pier is the pier in Blackpool, at the north-east coast of
England. Of course the question now is: How can one blame a pier? :)
Have a look at the Annotated Lyrics Site of Jan Voorbij:

where Ian Anderson was brought up (& he has been known to criticise for its
"tackiness").
I have always thought that IA meant Edward Heath who was Conservative Prime
Minister around the time that the song was written. As with many Tull
lyrics, I am probably wrong with this thought.
The political parties hold their annual conferences in Blackpool & the
Conservatives held their conference there this week (Maggie Thatcher was a
Conservative leader in the past & attended).
Anyway, enough of the political history lessons ... I will question you
about them later !!

Ian wanted to pen "blame the mess on Claire the Bear", in anticipation
of her tossing her brasseire onstage, but then reconsidered. Good thing
too, or she mightn't ever have done it.
Little-known fact: The name "Aqualung" was inspired by
Ian's favourite bra colour, aquamarine.

bear cousin of Yogi. Instead of roaming around Jellystone National Park, he
capered about various parts of southern New Jersey, pillaging snack foods from
unsuspecting beach-bathers at the Jersey Shore, while stealing their brassieres
out of their beach cabanas, many of them aquamarine in color, (or colour for
those folks reading this in London)(the brassieres, not the cabanas were
aquamarine by the way), for future sale to unsuspecting Tull Road Warriors,
some of whom were named Claire or "Tullbear" as she is sometimes known as, just
so they could throw them at the band at a San Diego show. This happened so
much in the early 70's that it prompted the great rock lyricist Ian Anderson to
write Up the 'Pool, where he attempts to blame the mess caused by so many
aquamarine brassieres on the San Diego stage on the notorious Edward Bear.
With the whole world now alerted to his criminal nature, Edward was forced to
flee the country and it is now believed that he is the owner/operator of a
double-barreled slingshot manufacturing enterprise somewhere in the wilds of
Manitoba. :)

Very off topic: I saw her on tv, defending her buddy, the ex-dictator
Pinochet, who is responsible for the killing and disappearing of
thousands of people in Chile. Under his regime thousands of people were
brutally tortured and (ex) nazi's were most welcome. Mrs Thatcher calls
this man her friend and she also thinks that it's a shame that he
(probably - let's get our fingers crossed) will have to face an
independent judge for what he did. The misdeeds of that bloody dictator
were being trifled by the 'Iron Lady'. She even made some sick jokes
about it, claiming that Tony Blair is just as bad as Pinochet, because
also in the UK people get killed on the streets. She thinks that is
exactly the same. Of course she knows better than the thousands of
families in Chile who lost their beloved ones, simply because they were
suspected of being anti government. They will never know what happened
to them, they just disappeared.
And all the Conservatives at the convention just laughed and applauded
at the words of Thatcher.
What a disgrace! What an appalling figure this so-called lady is!
Disgusting. God Save the Queen and her fascist regime. The Sex Pistols
were right. My God, it was true, after all!

It has been confirmed that, just as I suspected, Edward Bear has nothing to
do with *the* Edward Bear of Milne extraction. The Edward Bear/Pier
question has been duly answered, no longer a mystery - but what sort of
fungus has infected some feverish imaginations around here is another
mystery, one not likely to be resolved anytime soon.
btw, I am updating the http://home.att.net/~atwidner/index.html David Hawk
site, which has nearly nothing to do with Jethro Tull. Although there will
eventually reside there a link to my fractal art gallery I am building (as
soon as I figure out how to put together thumbnail index pages and upload
files to xoom.com with the limited ftp upload programs I have{Front Page
Express and Ulead Systems Web Utility}); and in that gallery will be several
fractal interpretations of Tull lyric passages. Someone from the Tullring
offered to assist me with web-building problems once, and I may have to take
someone up on that offer. I might see about making the "fracTull" part of
the fractal gallery a Tullring offering.
Anyhow - glad to see people having ALL SORTs of fun with my Up the Pool
query. I have been getting lots of chuckles out of it.

Now just hold on a cotton-pickin' minute... :)
In the early '70's, I was in no need of such apparel, since I was only
born in 1968. :)
BELIEVE ME, there are MANY times when I do wish I was born longer
ago...and hearing about early '70's Tull concerts is one of those times!

I’m throwing up in the pool, at a party the night before
where I drank too many Heinies, and stumbled to the floor.
The dandy hostess said, “You look sick and pale my friend
Now go quickly,
And get outta here, so you don’t barf
on my carpet there!”
My head throbs and pounds, there’s ringing in my ears
And all the freaking while my underwear disappeared.
The woman I hit on, must think I'm a moron
Especially when I said,
“I’d kiss you, babe, if I didn’t have
this puke breath.”
I drank buckets o' beer, ate nachos and dropped crumbs while I talked too loud
about the Vikings, Flyers and Canada’s silly idea of punting on third down
I wrecked chairs, dropped condoms, ogled thighs and touched some chick’s
knockers when she turned 'round.
Doubt I’ll be asked back to this place I left in a daze

Figured out the only one of my programs that can do uploads is PhotoImpact,
which can publish .jpg and .gif files to the web. I am fairly certain I
can't upload a HTML using it. Gotta see if I can get MS Front Page 98 as a
stand alone or if I have to get a suite, which I don't need. I'm used to
composing html documents on Word 97, which I use for building internal
directories for my writing and stuff. I just can't upload the darn things.
My sluggishness with learning this web stuff is beginning to frustrate me.

Ah, Claire..my daughter keeps telling me that I'm already old, not middle

By the bye... it appears that your fame is spreading beyond the newsgroup.
This morning I saw a license plate that said CKA. They don't have the quote
quite right (good lord, I can't believe I just managed alliteration with q's!),
but I think we can pardon them since they're undoubtedly new at the game.

Now Claire, don't rush it.. you're just a teeny bopper. 50 is middle age..
since 40 is what I'll be turning soon... ick. And I'm DEFINITELY NOT middle

or thereabouts. The story was called Anansi's Fool and was about a man
who hired someone else to feel bad for him, so that when Anansi was upset
it was his fool who cried, or when Anansi was hungry it was his fool who
went around complaining about his empty stomach. The story ends with
Anansi getting a whipping, but I can't remember what happened with the
relationship between Anansi and the other man. (It's been soooo long since
I have read this.) Anyone else remember this story?
