LMFAO....Jethro Tull........How trite and ridiculous the human mind can be....

[elementxero 10+ year member]

title referring to my own mind of course, for thinking this and writing what I'm about to write.

I don't think I've ever seriously listened to Jethro Tull, at least not on purpose, and certainly not consciously. It's always stayed somewhere irrelevant in the back of my head, probably because I always see it associated with rubes in popular culture references, and being the self-obsessed douche that I am, I even try to act cool when I'm alone.

But I found myself slightly intoxicated from a pleasant afternoon's indulgence in Glenlivet, browsing hungrily through Pandora, and I was recommended "Thick as a Brick". Realizing the above was true, and that I had not ever consciously heard Tull before, my childishly indulgent mood urged my interest awake from the annals of irrelevance deep within my head.

This led to me reading the bands summary.

What the ****? Most grandiose summary of a band that I've ever seen.

"Jethro Tull was a unique phenomenon in popular music history. Their mix of hard rock; folk melodies; blues licks; surreal, impossibly dense lyrics; and overall profundity defied easy analysis, but that didn't dissuade fans from giving them 11 gold and five platinum albums. At the same time, critics rarely took them seriously, and they were off the cutting edge of popular music since the end of the 1970s."

Timeline of the song:

-first 5 minutes: Eh....I think this is a little fruity. Maybe I should skip this.

*TOOK BONG HIT*

-last 75 minutes: Holy shit, Jethro Tull is ******* sweet. Have I been typing a post all this time? Whoa. That was an odd half-in/half-out sort of experience for my consciousness. Song's over.

Well, I suppose I'll keep drinking, and let this crossfire of inexplicable madness trace figure eights across my rotten cortex until I die or start kicking ***.

You are like an ape staring up at the monolith, and as its grandeur reveals itself to you, your mind considers the intricacies of the latest Wendy's dollar menu.

Welcome to 70's classic rock:

Just so you know, their music always sounded 10X better when recorded in a studio as opposed to live.

Beginning of this song sounds like a theme from an 8bit RPG //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/imo.gif.3a57bcc70a4835dc53e86ffae1a0b041.gif
