A “sequel” 40 years later?!
Gee Ian, Really don’t mind if you sit this one out.

I was at the debut stage performance of Thick As A Brick! That was the second and final time I saw Jethro Tull. Best two concerts I ever attended!

He didn’t deserve the Grammy he won. The only reason JT won is because the judges didn’t know what they were doing. Heavy Metal was a style of music they had no experience with or Metallica would have been the easy winner. In fact JT was so convinced they didn’t have a chance that none of the band members even bothered to show up for the Grammys.

Locomotive Breath was always one of my favorites of all time. "Old Charley stole the handle . . . . "

He did an “out of this world” duet with Cady Coleman while she was aboard the ISS. It was pretty good. Not being a professional musician, Cady held her own with Ian. They should do a duet now that she’s back on Earth.

Brick 2??
Why not Stand Up 2, This Was 2 or Benefit 2...
...Those were much less pretentious and musically better.

Alice Cooper has done 3 more Stephen albums since Welcome to my Nightmare, all of them pretty good though I’ve never been totally sold on Stephen being redeemed at the end of Temptation. Nothing wrong with revisiting old characters if you’ve got some good stuff for them to do.

Because Gerald Bostock didn’t write any songs on them.
Would be kind of cool to get Mick back for another blues album though. Love Martin but Tull the blues band had a lot of potential.

I didn't know anyone was clamoring for a follow up. This is not 1972 anymore where there were free form FM stations to promote stuff like Thick as Brick.

Give the old dude a break.
This is the first album they’ve put out in a decade.
Too bad it was a retread.
[after “Rupi’s Dance” and “The Secret Language Of Birds” even *I* tuned out and let’s not even mention the “WTFWT?” J-Tull.com album]

Good grief. Why? Is there some rule that people should just go away and stop creating after the public has discarded them?

Benefit is one of his greatest but least appreciated albums.
“With You There To Help Me” is magnificent.
Done live, it’s even more amazing.
Roots To Branches and Catfish Rising are my other two ‘obscure’ faves.

If you've never heard the Songs From The Wood album, check it out. Nothing flashy, just good old Tull.

??? ‘Standup’ and ‘Benefit” truly deserved to win. His old stuff was as good as anyone’s in the late ‘60s.
