None. Who the fuck cares? John Blowcock? If he was so good, where is he
now? Drunk and farting, that's where.

FYI, John Glascock was a very find bass player who passed away due to a
congenital heart condition. When he was no longer able to fulfill his
obligations with Tull, Dave Pegg stepped in upon the dissolution, albeit
temporary, of Fairport Convention. Peggy spent 16 years with Tull as bassist
and occasional mandolinist. He has now retired from Tull in order to devote
more time to Fairport as the profile of this band has been on the rise over the
last 10 years. Like Yes, Fairport has accumulated a significant body of
recorded work over the last 34 years. And also like Yes and Tull, Fairport has
had its share of personnel turmoil but Peggy has provided continuous service
for the past 30 years.

He's dead...but probably WISHES he were drunk & farting. But then again,
if he'd heard the last few Tull cd's, he'd wish he were dead.

I'm crossposting this to a group I don't even read. My apologies if others
have already answered this. John Glascock played bass in a band called
Carmen (not to be confused with the Christian singer). They were a weird
blend of rock and flamenco. I have several of their albums; _Fandangos in
Space_ is excellent, the other two aren't. Carmen opened for Tull in the
mid 70's; when they disbanded, Glascock joined. He died of heart failure
around the time of _Stormwatch_.

Again, my apologies if any of this is painfully obvious.

Truly a tasteless post. What a dick.

John Glasscock was an excellent bass player and one of Jethro Tull's most
colorful performers. He passed away while still a member of Tull, which is why
Ian Anderson plays bass on some of the tracks on the Stormwatch LP. His
passing was at a young age, without warning, and it devestated the other
members of the band.
If masterringo felt like mentioning John Glasscock here, he/she had every right
to do so.

How's your karma, 5toes? A little common human decency wouldn't hurt. When
you drop dead, will you be lucky enough to have anyone care about you as much
as folks like masterringo care about John Glasscock?

Actually, ROOTS TO BRANCHES is one Tull's best releases ever.

I suspect a lot of people would be rather happy to see him gone.
Whether that means losing his internet privileges or passing on to the great
beyond would probably not matter much.

Maybe not 'best' IMO, but I like it. I'm getting into dot.com more and
more too.

I think for this one 'the great beyond' would be 'the hell of people
conversing all around you and you can't interrupt them or make yourself
noticed by them in any way'. A kind of a killfile heaven.

I think some of the recent CDs Tull has made .com and Ian's solo album The
Secret Language of Birds have a number of very good songs on them. I think
his flute playing now is just as good if not better. The problem is that
his voice although sounding better in these releases is still no where near
as good as it once was. If you can get around this the material is pretty
good. Roots to Branches almost has a mideastern feel to it. New Tull is
still pretty good although not nearly as good as older Tull.
