:tongue: just popped into my head for some reason... I remember when I got this album for my 14th birthday. I rushed to put it on my hifi phonograph and then sat down on my bed to look at the track listings. It was only then I realized that the entire album was one song... At least I really really liked the song...

Saw them a few years ago...pretty good show, but not as much fun as I'd hoped.

I've seen them several times. The last was August 2008 at the beach. Their shows have run the gamut from superb to highly disappointing. It is really dependent on Ian Anderson's mood. I know it seems unprofessional, but when they are on their game he is still like a whirling dervish, and they're SUPER TIGHT.

Saw them late in their career......'81 I think....really good.really really good....If I can remember .......I believe Ian A. played a Glass flute, for a song or two.....???

Found it weird that they won the first ever Grammy for HEAVY METAL....

Never thought of a heavy metal band with flute....

I mean, the performance was great, but the venue was kept very strict. I've never been to a rock show before where I had to sit in my chair and be quiet the whole time! noway

Really don't mind if you sit this one out
my word is but a whisper, your deafness a SHOUT
I may make you feel but I can't make you think
your sperm's in the gutter, your love's in the sink

Haha. I took my username from a Tull song.

Wind Up

When I was young and they packed me off to school
And taught me how not to play the game,
I didnt mind if they groomed me for success,
Or if they said that I was a fool.
So I left there in the morning
With their God tucked underneath my arm --
Their half-assed smiles and the book of rules.
So I asked this God a question
And by way of firm reply,
He said -- Im not the kind you have to wind up on sundays.
So to my old headmaster (and to anyone who cares):
Before Im through Id like to say my prayers --
I dont believe you:
You had the whole damn thing all wrong --
Hes not the kind you have to wind up on sundays.
Well you can excomunicate me on my way to sunday school
And have all the bishops harmonize these lines --
How do you dare tell me that Im my fathers son
When that was just an accident of birth.
Id rather look around me -- compose a better song
`cos thats the honest measure of my worth.
In your pomp and all your glory youre a poorer man than me,
As you lick the boots of death born out of fear.
I dont believe you:
You had the whole damn thing all wrong --
Hes not the kind you have to wind up on sundays.

I also thought it odd, but I was happy to see Metallica get burned. I'm not a fan of theirs on MANY levels.
