I dunno, I heard it as "heavy with the rod" and got a snicker out of it myself.

"Heh...heheheh...heheh...she said 'rod!'"

Settle down, Beavis.
Let's get right to it.

Yes, can anyone please give me an excuse to go!?

because he's old and it might be your last chance?

TANC: Tull!!

what I meant was, is anyone else going (or willing to be coerced) so that I can claim to my spouse that one of us won free tix & it's a last minute thing? 

I'm mildly interested, but tix are at least $40 -- ticketmaster is advertising a 2-for-1 offer, but you need some sort of code.  Sometimes those codes are floating around the net, but so far no luck in finding it.

Settle down, Beavis.

ok, there's the quote: "I've been kinda heavy on the Rod lately ... Rod Stewart and the Faces, sounds great!"

Think we just got snaked on the bonus track again, as I just sat thru a good 8 minutes of ads. Anyone know what we missed?

The password is "tull".  Offer through goldenvoice, I don't know if you have to go in through the email.  This is where the link in the email directed me to:
http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/1C004262A250570E?brand=goldenvoice

Sorry I didn't check in earlier.  Got the email Friday.  I'd be considering this one too, but I'm going to the Pixies tonight at the Fox.

thanks, Rod... 

Hmm, this makes it interesting.  so normally the ticket would be $42.50 plus fees. This code makes them $21.25 plus fees:

Ticket Price US $21.25 x 2
Facility Charge US $2.50 x 2
Convenience Charge US $8.45 x 2
-------------------
SUBTOTAL   US $64.40

That's $32.20 each.  still a little steep... I mean I like Ian Anderson and all, and I saw JT in '83 on that horrible Broadsword and the Beast Tull Tour.  Saga opened up and were quite good, esp compared to Tull's material on that tour.

anyway, that's a $21.25 savings for tonight's Warfield show featuring Ian and his new solo record, which I do not know -- I'm still not convinced to go yet.

I wish I knew WTH the lyrics mean in Roundabout.  The lyrics are almost as indecipherable as Jethro Tull's.


You think these are bad? You should read the lyrics to some of their subsequent records. Tales of Topographic Oceans springs to mind:

Quote
Dawn of light lying between a silence and sold sources,
Chased amid fusions of wonder, in moments hardly seen forgotten
Coloured in pastures of chance dancing leaves cast spells of challenge,
Amused but real in thought, we fled from the sea whole.
Dawn of thought transfered through moments of days undersearching earth
Revealing corridors of time provoking memories, disjointed but with
purpose,
Craving penetrations offer links with the self instructor's sharp
and tender love as we took to the air, a picture of distance.
Dawn of our power we amuse redescending as fast as misused
Expression, as only to teach love as to reveal passion chasing
Late into corners, and we danced from the ocean.
Dawn of love sent within us colours of awakening among the many
Won't to follow, only tunes of a different age, as the links span
Our endless caresses for the freedom of life everlasting.

Kind of poetic, but pretty damn obscure, too. And that's just the first verse of the first of four album-side-length pieces.


That's refrigerator-magnet poetry, that's what that is.
“The choir of children sing their song.  They've practiced all year long.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.”

All together now:

Q: How do you turn a duck into a soul singer?

something something 'til his bill withers.

To be precise: Put it in the microwave until its bill withers.
“The choir of children sing their song.  They've practiced all year long.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.”
