Subject: Nothing In Particular
Hey folks!
I was just wond'ring aloud: what's the general opinion on Too Old To
Rock 'N' Roll (both the album and the song). This is a subject that
doesn't seem to get that much atention around here. My personal
opinion concerning the album is that it's okay. I find that I listen
to it about as often as 'A' (approx. once every three months). There
aren't too many points on the album that really stick out as the
normal incredible Tull. In fact now that I think about it, I like 'A'
better than Too Old. As far as the song goes: I used to really enjoy
it, but now it kind of annoys me, and strikes me as being kind of
monotonous. Anyways, that is just my humble opinion, and I would
enjoys hearing others.
Oh, another thing: I finally got the 20th Anniversary set a couple
weeks ago at a used CD store (I can't believe I found it!) and I was
wondering if it is supposed to be 3 CDs or 5. I have three, should I
still be searching for 2 more? This is a great collection of music,
and I am thrilled that I found it. Speaking of this boxed set, is
there anyone else out there that was incredibly overcome with
excitement when they realized that Locomotive Breath was suddenly,
somehow, becoming Black Sunday. Black Sunday is an incredible song,
and I have loved it since I first heard it. (Another incredible Tull
song from the new era is Farm On The Freeway.)
I often used to wonder what the big deal was with Dun Ringill, I
thought it was a great song, but not as incredible as you folks seemed
to think. Well, I got the 20th Anniversary set and realized what the
big deal was all about. It is amazing live. I now have a totally new
respect for the song. So, my appoligies for doubting it in the first
place!
BTW, RtB is my third favorite Tull album and I eagerly look foreward
to the next one. I will be remembering Ian and his knee in my prayers
tonight. Get Well Soon Ian!!!!!!
Thanks,
Tim Stewart

Subject: Golden Earring, Focus...Horslips?
Is anyone familiar with Horslips? On their Book of Invasions album there
is a song called Trouble with a Capital T. IMO, T stands for Tull. The
song features some great Flute playing. To me its sort of part Brick, part
Benefit. If anyone knows where I can get the vinyl, or CD, I would
appreciate it. Definitely more Tullish than Golden Earring or Focus.

I really enjoy this interpretation! However, that is ALL it is: an
interpretation. A while ago, I sent a post to the SCC about Locomotive
Breath, and I received many people's opinions about the song. All were
different.
I enjoy the exchange of ideas, but I hope we all realize there is no "right"
or "wrong" answer.

Well, Phil Collins is available... Just kidding of course. I'll be
really sad if I can't see ELP and Tull together in August. It would have
been my first time seeing ELP live. Maybe if Ian is still ailing, they
could do a show all by themselves? OR, maybe Ian and Keith Emerson could
do a duet of "Too Old to Rock'n'Roll, Too young to Die!"

Subject: Opening Lines of Minstrel
I remembered awhile back someone asked what was being said at the
beginning of Minstrel (the song) and I wasn't sure if it was answered
or not, so (drum roll please), here it is...
Right Speaker: "My Lord and Lady, we have fortuitously happened upon
these, uh, strolling players, who will provide you with their goodly
tunes whilst you set about your, uh, primordial(?) delights, albeit in
the lamentable absence of your guests. So, my Lord and Lady, for your
entertainment...
Left Speaker: "We're really going to go through with this?"
"Yeah. It's <something> better here. I can't see down there
alright. I don't think they're going to like this much, though."
So there you have it--a somewhat incomplete but nearly correct
transcription. Hmm...or maybe it's "...CAN see down there..." Well,
close enough.

Last issue someone mentioned Gentle Giant as one of his top ten bands. I
believe it was the tour supporting Aqualung that had Gentle Giant opening
for Tull (Fall of '71?). They played a marvelous set, demonstrating their
instrumental and vocal virtuosity. I immediately went out and purchased
Gentle Giant albums. Following year, Steeleye Span opened for Tull during
the Thick As A Brick tour. Two great opening bands for two memorable Tull
tours.
The ELP connection on the (hopefully) upcoming tour is interesting. Let's
hope Ian is recovered satisfactorily to allow this tour to happen!

Subject: I have enough !!
I have enough to be simple reader. So udder for my poor English, I
throw ! Firstly, after having heard a lot of bad things about =AB
Catfish Rising =BB, I am going to listen it during my writing.(I will
tell you my opinion at the end). I am fan since =AB This Was =BB,
since the beginning, then... (I have soon 40 years old, help !!!)
Three of the best musicians (IMHO) that I know are or were in Jethro Tull !
DAVE PEGG
It is truly an exceptional bassist, recognizable, with a very personal
way to play (the =AB glissando =BB on two cords !)
DAVE MATTACKS
A brilliant drummer ! One of the rare drummer wich is recognizable because
nobody other has this particular manner to play. It is rare to be able to
recognize a drummer, no ? (An other very recognizable is -was- John Bonham of
Led Zep, who played in the same way than DM)
It is injury that on "A little light music", DM is so much discreet , almost
harmless ! Listen to him with Fairport !
I have read in SCC someone telling that Doane Perry plays like a child! Shame
! Doanne IS an excellent drummer, technical enough and perfectly integrated to
the general atmosphere of Tull.
IAN ANDERSON
Without doubt the best flute player (not - classic). But is this truly
difficult to be the best when you are the only one ? :-)
Martin Barre is an excellent guitarist, but it lacks it a small (very small)
something to be genial.
Do you know (I am not proud of it!) that I do not know Rush ??
Who can talk to me a bout this band ?
Here is the result of my listening of "Catfish Rising", tunes that I like
well:
This is not love (1)
Rock on the road (4)
Still loving you tonight (7)
Doctor to my disease (8)
Sleeping with the dog (11)
When Jesus came to play (13)
(I love the blues, ...)
OK, it is is not the best album, but it is even so rather well placed in my
personal hit parade
Don't blame me, but on RtB, I like only 3 pieces
Root to Branches (1)
At last, forever (9)
Another Harry's Bar (11)
But I'm IN LOVE with Divinities...
I hope to find the time and the courage to write more often.
Thank you to DS !

Subject: benefit
To all the readers of S.C.C., I bid a hearty hello. I have been a
Tull fan since 1971. Benefit was my first experience and " Play In
Time" is one of my all time favorite Tulltunes. My question concerns
"Teacher". This song is often credited to LITP but it first appeared
on "Benefit". Was this true only on the American issue of "Benefit"?
It is odd that both LITP and the LYRIC BOOK do not credit this piece
to B. While we are at it, what about "A Night In The Wilderness"
from Catfish Rising. Is this piece only available from the U.K.? I
have never been able to find it on any version around here. Finally,
has anyone ever heard the so-called dance-mix version of "Living in
the Past"? If so, how do I get a copy? That is all for now . Rick

Who said eveyone hates it? This list is amazing. One person posts that
he hates an album (any album - A, Under Wraps, Catfish Rising, RtB, etc.)
Two or three others post that they agree with the first poster. And then
a bunch of people conclude "everybody hates is" and starts defending it,
as if he's going to convince anyone otherwise.
For every album, there are some who love it and some who hate it. Just
because a few people happen to post that they hate something is no
reason to assume that they represent everybody.

>1975: A Small Cigar
>(Minstrel sessions)
The sound of the track, the lyrical content, and especially the presence of
David Palmer as keyboardist suggest to me that this is actually a Too Old To
Rock 'n' Roll outtake. (Most of the Too Old... LP was recorded in 1975.)
>1989: Hard Liner
>(probably Rock Island sessions; this may have been recorded as a b-side)
"Hard Liner" was not recorded as a b-side, but was intended as a full-fledged
album track, and was left off of Rock Island only at the very last minute.
In fact, advance tapes of the album sent to journalists included "Hard
Liner," and the song was specifically mentioned in at least one review (in Q
magazine).
>1991: Truck Stop Runner
>(probably Catfish Rising sessions)
This was indeed intended for Catfish Rising, and like "Hard Liner" was left
off at the eleventh hour. Ian previewed this song and "Roll Yer Own" on GLR
radio in Britain prior to the album's release, and the negative response from
many fans (including A New Day's David Rees) to the song's contrived,
pseudo-American stylings may have influenced Ian's decision to pull it from
the final running order.

Subject: Michael Collins...
Hello. First time contributor. Can't sleep so I'm sending to the SCC. Does
anyone know what the song "For Michael Collins, Jeffrey, and Me" is all
about? And who the hell is Michael Collins? I know Jeffrey is Jeffrey
Hammond-Hammond. Is this a morality song about religious hypocrisy ala My
God, Hymn 43, and Wind Up or am I totally off-base?
Ian's songwriting ability was making a lot of progress during the Benefit
period, but the quality of the lyrics had not quite caught up with the
quality of the music. His songwriting advanced by leaps and bounds as the
70's progressed.
Has the Tull tribute album been released yet? If so, what do people think of
it?
Alas, with Ian's injury, the stellar lineup of Tull and ELP may never come to
pass.
Here's a vote for an underrated Tull song: "Journeyman" from Heavy Horses.
Great lyrics.
Well, I'll leave it at that. Will you still be there further on?

I've been a Tull fan for years and was pleasantly surprised to
find SCC with so many people enthusiastically into Jethro Tull.
For me, they were my philosophical influence during my
formative high school years. Keep up the good work on SCC!
In reading past issues, I realized that I might have some old
Tull records that may be worth something to someone. I'd like
to finance my belated conversion to disk by selling or trading
some old Tull vinyl. Examples include TaaB with the newspaper,
PP with the program (plus '70's era Tull articles) and Walk into Light.
I've got most other old JT records also.
I'd like these to go to a SCC reader that appreciates them rather than
to any old used record store. if interested, please email me and I'll send
details.

Subject: First posting!
I haven't been reading the Chronicle for very long - I haven't even had
e-mail very long! I'm a big Tull fan, and I enjoy reading the comments of
other fans, and discussions of the music that go beyond hairstyles and amp
settings.
I wondered if anyone else read the short interview with Ian in the new Mojo,
from the UK. The magazine's got Oasis on the cover, and a two-page
interview inside with Ian regarding Aqualung. He has some humorous comments
about the cover, JHH, etc., that may or may not be common knowledge to Tull
fans. It is this interview that will appear in a 15-minute segment on the
remastered Aqualung later this summer.
Also, I foolishly picked up a Tull bottleg called "Fat Man" the other day,
and discovered that it was not one live show, but an assortment of
studio/BBC/live tracks with no apparent rhyme or reason. If anyone has a
detailed list of where the tracks hail from - some of them sound familiar,
some don't - I'd really appreciate it. I going to keep the disc, just in
case there's something fascinating on there (I haven't listened to the whole
thing yet).
Just for the record (or CD, as it may be), my favorite Tull albums are
"Aqualung," "Songs from the Wood," "Thick As a Brick" and "This Is." I
don't rather like the albums since "Crest of a Knave," though oddly I liked
the outtakes of the recent albums on the box sets (20th, 25th and Nightcap).
My all-around favorite band is Deep Purple - for the contributor who several
issues ago proclaimed Deep Purple dead, I'd recommend listening to the new
album "Purpendicular." Steve Morse is the new guitar player, and there are
some rather Celtic-sounding tunes on there that will surprise many.
If any of you know this "Fat Man," or love Deep Purple as well as Jethro
Tull, please respond to this in the Chronicle or personally to me. I look
forward to hearing from all of you!

Subject: Original Reactions to APP
Over the last year, we have been able to read many a fan's reaction
to RtB. We have seen many strong, diverse, and controversial
opinions, some of which even led to a mini flame war (to which I
sadly contributed).
I would think though that RtB was not as controversial as some
other albums were at the time of their release. Imagine initial
reactions to TaaB, APP, TOTR&R, A, and UW. Since the SCC wasn't
around then, we don't have a record of such reactions.
But there is a record of a few reactions to APP. The following chronicle
comes from the January 1974 issue of CREEM magazine.
Begin :
(In the October issue of CREEM, a beleaguered writer was so frustrated
in trying to review the latest Jethro Tull album that he assigned it to the
readers instead: "We don't care whether you like Jethro Tull or not . . .
But we're sure that you have at least as much to say about J.T. and P.P.
as any snootful rock critic. So in as few words as possible, please tell the
rest of our readers, (a) Why are Jethro Tull, and (b) What is Passion Play
about?" The reviews which follow constitute the response to that cry
for help. - Ed.)
Anderson and crew have constructed the first true rock and roll concept
album. The LP consists of only one song (filling both sides) which tells
the story of the search, by a rock and roll singer (cleverly disguised as a
rabbit), for the ultimate rock riff (disguised as a pair of glasses) with the
help of some supposed superstars (disguised as other woodland creatures).
The singer soon finds that he had the riff all along and these other
superstars were pretentious fakes. Anderson builds this theme up
slowly, but after about 45 minutes into the song, the rock and roll hits
you like a ton of quaaludes. K.K. Pittsburgh, Pa.
A Passion Play is about a dead ballerina lying in an empty opera-house
while the janitor sits in the can with his pants down and his mop
leaning against the wall. A Passion Play is about a wilted rose lying
on a green lawn that stretches forever with a hornet buzzing around it
looking for something to sting.
By the way, is the rumor true that A.P.P. is J.T.'s retiring statement?
I doubt it: I'm sure they'll come up with some more albums that we
must buy and listen to even though we're not sure what we're
listening to. Dr. Elmo Seattle, Wash.
It's as good as the Bible, objectively speaking. It's better than the Bible,
subjectively speaking, but then what is GOOD and what is BAD - which
is exactly what the story deals with. "Tough are the souls that tread the
knife's edge." That thin line between good and bad, that single thread
of existence which Anderson has so desperately tried to explain and
perform. If you don't understand, no explanation is possible. If you
do understand, of course, no explanation is necessary.
I feel so much compassion for Ian Anderson. His strength, his
attitude, his will TO BE. He is a daily uplifting for my system-drunk
environment.
What is Passion Play about? The world of I AM. Of death in life
("Everyone's saved, we're in the grave, see you there for afternoon
tea"). The ballerina is undoubtedly symbolical of the devil, the most
beautiful and precious angel of all, "fallen from grace, fell with nine
angels from a far better place, offering services for the saving of face."
"The Story of the Hare Who Lost His Spectacles" is about the different
religions we encounter and how our victory can only be given by
ourselves.
I could go on and on, but the story here is too detailed to explain
if you don't understand. A few certain lines sum it up, "those who
have ears to hear, let them hear." Know these things - Beware the
Anti-Christ, watch interpretations, be nothing, and be honest. I
love you. No One Pasadena, Texas
What is "Passion Play" about? To figure out "Passion Play" is a tedious
task indeed. In my opinion it deals with the passions of Jesus Christ,
death, life after death and rebirth into life all in one long piece just as
the masterpiece "Thick As a Brick" was one year ago. It starts off when
Jesus is being crucified on the cross, as the lyrics read: "And so I'm
dead . . . And with a howl across the sand I go escorted by a band of
gentlemen in leather bound" - that sort of explains Jesus carrying his
cross. Now comes the part where Jesus is going to be nailed to the cross,
as the lyrics read : "Feeling unwound? . . . Step into the viewing room!"
The second half of "Passion Play" is really hard to understand, because
it is very confusing. To really explain this you must know about religion
and also be Ian Anderson's brain. John Secaucus, N.J.
Music is not supposed to be easy to listen to, and Tull plays music.
J.T. Grimsville, Fla.
What the hell do you mean, why are Jethro Tull? Why are Iggy and the
Stooges? Have you ever tried to sit down and figure out the subtle points
of view suggested in Raw Power? To answer your second question, I
don't know what Passion Play is, but then again what is Six Wives of
Henry VIII? I think the only one who knows what A Passion Play is,
is Ian Anderson himself. J.A. Lynchburg, Va.
Number One: As to why are Jethro Tull, I'm sure no one knows; and if
the band ever tried to figure that one out, it would undoubtedly rename
itself "Ian Anderson," as he is the only person in the band who says
anything (too much!).
Number Two: What is Passion Play about? Simple: Repetition.
S.S. Sterling Heights, Mi.
Concerning this new "Jethro Tull" effort, I sincerely wish you would not
refer to this present aggregation as Jethro Tull. I know that Glenn Cornick,
Clive Bunker, and Mick Abrahams would be as insulted as I am myself.
The genuine Jethro Tull died a death in mid-1970 after a bunch of singles,
two and a half albums and many live performances of the finest music
which defied classification. This other band continues to put out lifeless
music, a diluted version of what once was. I regret having to live in the
past, but the present is such a drag. I.M. Berkeley, Calif.
It sounds like Frank Zappa without trombones, that's not good. Sounds
intellectual, arty, tired, unhappy, sounds bad. Jethro Tull never made a
fun record, now they've made Passion Play. It's no fun. If you listen to
it you're gonna be unhappy because that's Jethro Tull's purpose, to make
you unhappy. Ian Anderson doesn't like you, he doesn't mind if you
buy his records though. I don't like Ian Anderson, I like fun music.

>From the same issue :
I recently attended a Jethro Tull concert and really liked the type of coat
he wears when he does his act. I would be most pleased if you could
inform me as to where I might buy one of these coats. It would be very
much appreciated. Please rush the answer as soon as possible. Thank
you, R. M. Ypsilanti, Mi.
(Ian Anderson's sartorial artistry is, alas, too arcane for boutiques. The
best thing we could suggest is rolling a blind crippled toothless 87 year
old beggar in a Liverpool alley. Besides, informed sources whisper that
Ian will be making a drastic costume switch from his Prufrock coat to a
torso-T and jockstrap, as part of the special theatrical effects for Tull's
next rock extravaganza, which will deal with the Cartesian meditations
of the first man to swim the English channel. - Ed.)

soundfragment on his homepage, will be charged for 10,- Hfl per month.
This means that I will have to pay 120,- guilders per year for the little
fragment of TAAB on my page.
The blue note is a signal, like the blue ribbon, to protest against this
idiotic rule. Read more about that on URL
http://www.pi.net/~sofa/homeuk.htm (english version)
http://www.pi.net/~sofa/home.htm (dutch version)
and join the protest.
