Thick As A Brick, Jethro Tull

Cruising through my iPod today.

Skating Away (On The Thin Ice Of The New Day), Jethro Tull

I’d rather not think about how old this song is.

Youtube seems to be down right now, so just hum Jethro Tull‘s Skating Away (On The Thin Ice Of The New Day) or something, I guess.  Or, hey, buy the single! That should solve the problem…

Locomotive Breath, Jethro Tull

Still no clue what it means.

Thick As A Brick (Edit No 1), Jethro Tull

It’s the short version – otherwise known as the We are not going to assume that you are zonked to the gills on primo Mexican marijuana while playing this album and thus completely divested of any sense of time passing version.

Not that I would know anything about that sort of thing, of course.

Ah, Pennsic.  Don’t ask me why this song reminds me of it, but it does.

Aqualung, Jethro Tull

Ah, to be twenty again.  No, wait, I was always broke and even more insufferable than I am now.  Never mind, then.

Locomotive Breath, Jethro Tull

Don’t know what it means and can’t say that I care that I don’t, either.

If I could fly, this would be the soundtrack for the loop-the-loops.

I didn’t do one last night, so I’ll do tonight.  The first one is an old favorite, although I usually stop somewhere around the three minute mark:

No, it doesn’t actually mean anything. I don’t think that it’s supposed to mean anything. It’s just supposed to be pretty words that rhyme. Either that, or you need to smoke copious amounts of marijuana before listening to it.

Not that I’d know anything about that, of course.

Jethro Tull, which was a band that had quite a lot of influence over my personal soundtrack when I was… geez, half the age I am now.

Depressing, only not.
