Wonderful ! Saw both the Aqualung and Minstrel tours back in the day and still remember Ian prancing around on the stage with his flute - especially the Bach Bouree.
Tull was genius and definitely right along with Pink Floyd as music I can still listen too and be proud I love it. 100 years after *all* rap is forgotten and people can't even remember what grunge and punk were this stuff will still play.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
