Re: Jethro Tull
Did anyone ever decide if Gerald Bostock was a real person?
I don't know if he was a 'real' person or not, either, Craig. In the past records companies would often use family members, production company employees, their children, actors and also band members children on album covers. It would be fairly interesting to know if "Little Milton" was an actually person or not. Maybe Ian Anderson would remember?
Although I enjoy many of Jethro Tull's catalog, this album does take some getting use to, more so with only two tracks and also with each being quite lengthy, too. Some 'concept' type albums are fairly easy to follow, and some can be at times akin to reading a long novel, which is fine if the story being told is good, interesting, appealing and keeps you entertained, as does
Thick as a Brick. This song had more interest when hearing it performed in concert. I must say that Ian Anderson is quite an extraordinary entertainer, that both keeps fans interested and is an exceptional musician as well!
