Brilliant interview, Barry. I met Ian in person backstage in 2003 in Tarrytown, NY after a "Rubbing Elbows" show. He couldn't have been nicer and more generous with his time with my buddy and I as hardcore fanboys. I even have a picture with him with both of us standing on one leg! Its one of my fav personal photos to this day. Tull fanatic for life.
Is that a Cardiacs profile pic? Amazing band!!
@@Edduno128 Yes...and cheers! My absolute fav band ever
What a thoughtful ,articulate speaker Ian Anderson is and what a great worldview-considered and aware without being an ideologue but still with fairly unequivocal views on certain matters.I've always found his lyrics to be first class-in fact I'm struggling to think of a better "rock" lyric writer and its obvious why-top interview.
Thank you Barry, that was lovely. Loved the conversation about norse history and mythology being «tricky» as a subject (I’m a Norwegian with both Swedish and Danish family and ancestry, and am not a fan of my herritage being hijacked by some types and chastised by yet others). Such a rich vein of lived musical history! Thank you! Now if he could just re-release some of those wonderful booklet box CD sets I missed first time round we’d all be pleased and happy!
Another absolute gem of an interview with a still after all these years intelligent and articulate individual! So true what he says about entrenched musical tastes....never ever say never!
Desperately trying to think up a joke on the theme of similarity between interviewer and interviewee but no luck. Anyway, thanks for this suprise! Ian is an intelligent man and it's always nice to hear him talk.
I actually thought Barry WAS Ian for the first couple of these I watched. Even his oft-mentioned allusions to Ian and the band seemed to me to even fortify that belief. ….until I heard Barry’s name mentioned. There is no reference to the interviewer’s name anywhere on the post.
@@davidwright9318...
But then again, I wouldn't have thought that was necessarily a "bad thing" really, would you?
I love when Ian quipped, "What? Cancel me? You think I give a $hit?"
Ian's memory for names, bands, places they played, etc. is remarkable. I'm 5 yrs behind him, but he beats me. I can add one note: Booker T's guitar player - Steve Cropper.
I've been listening to this guy since Aqualung..... It's great to see him still kickin' it out after all these decades!
Great interview Barry, I always have time for Ian, one of the most thoughtful musicians.
Fantastic interview.
To clear up any doubt, Ian Anderson is on the left
He intimates that another go with Donald Trump will be a dangerous thing...I am 70 y o ...Trump is the only President of my lifetime that didn't drag us into new wars under his guiding hand.
Ian Anderson, holy shit! You know, this man has made literally my favorite music on this planet. And to hear him be uncompromised like this and just, real... Wow, I'm so glad he can't be bought. I am so proud to have been a fan all these years.
Nice conversation . Thoughtful, honest and entertaining discourse. Not the usual obvious pre album launch questions. Well done and thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@classicalbum Really enjoyed listening to this. You really allowed Ian to just talk and not interrupt him, but truly listened. You were so relaxed. This was one of the best conversations I've seen. Thank you Barry!
First exposed to JT music in 1970 by older boys in our neighborhood I was 14 y/o. To this day I believe they were and are mesmerizingly unique.
I appreciate the respectfulness you showed to your guest by never interrupting and always asking thoughtful questions. I see why legends such as Mr. A grant you the privilege of interviewing them.
Anderson is without a doubt one of the greatest thinkers-musicians (or would they be musician-thinkers?) alongside Gabriel and Eno. Thanks for this excellent interview. Greetings from Brazil.
And Mark Knopfler, Cat Stevens
@@gideonlapidus8996 Cat Stevens a "great thinker"? I would say he was a freethinker, back in the day. But as Yusuf Islam, he's now sadly just a believer on dogmas.
I'm a great Tull and Ian Anderson fan. The Christmas album is one of the finest of the genre and did very well here in the States. It would be difficult to pick my favorite of the sixties/seventies Tull era, but I go back again and again to Stand Up. British folk rock was quite different from ours -- a different folk culture. Interestingly ours steadily morphed into country rock, the Byrds et al. Gene Clark's No Other may well be an example of what I think of as progressive country. No surprise to me that he produced a Steeleye Span lp -- one of my favorite British bands as well. Inspiring to see his famous work ethic continues into his seventies. I would be very interested to hear what Mr. Anderson thought or thinks of American music of that era. Great interview. Too brief...
Great job Barry - I enjoy any interviews I can get a hold of regarding IA. He is so very intelligent and knowledgeable - Like yourself Barry - two intellects having at it.
I think I’d last maybe ten minutes with either of you before you’d nod off.
Very much appreciated Barry, thank you - I understand it’s a dangerous undertaking making hero’s of men but he’s a long standing hero of mine.
Always a pleasure to hear Ian Anderson speak, great interview, looking forward to the new album, thanks Barry
Glad you enjoyed it
Got a real laugh out of Ian’s Roger Waters reference😂
For so many years I've felt a bit on my own being a huge Morrissey fan as well as being into Jethro Tull. Now I feel so happy that Ian Anderson himself is now a Morrissey fan too! It would be great to hear Morrissey's views on Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull. I have a feeling he wouldn't be that complimentary.
I like Morrissey
I did the same thing about 3 weeks ago! I was also looking for great debut albums. Anyway then i listened to their debut and 'the queen is dead'. Good albums!
Morrissey is a gem. Loved his interview regarding diversity being conformity. In my view he speaks the truth. Love The Smiths .
Don't think Ian was fishing for return compliments as they carry very little sincerity even if they're sincere.
Don’t be so sure. John Lyndon liked Aqualung because it was about real life.
Anderson's comments about the waywardness of the social lives Peter Green and Syd Barret were interesting. The point I take away from the creative downfall of Barret and Green is that not every talented musician will be well enough grounded to stay in the music business which is a tough place to be in. And after they crashed out and resettled into ordinary life they had people who looked after their music business affairs and cared for them at an every day level.
Oh my God ... has RökFlöte already been out more than one year!
I seem to recall you liked this album, but were not overly impressed with it.
That was my first take on the album too, but as I listened to it, it began to take shape.
You chided me for saying to listen to it more, as if one should be able to fully grasp
music on first listening and there is nothing that changes the more one listens to something.
I've had this experience with almost all Tull music, except Aqualung my first album. The
music grows. I don't know how Ian does it. Does he plan it this way or have some secret
formula?
My experience with Tull has been that over time I hear a lot more in the music than when I
first got the album, and that goes from This Was to RökFlöte and presumably whatever comes
next. Now a year later that I have listened to RökFlöte countless times the songs that I was
hestitant about, most hesitant was "Wolf Unchained" and I find myself humming different
parts of this song and the rest of the album. Like most Tull albums it has become my
favorite in the now, as all of them have been, except maybe a couple. I don't think twice
about Ian's voice and those who do just seem silly.
I was wondering if you had stopped listening to it, or have given it a few more chances and
if your feeling about the album has changed as drastically as mine has. I am crazy about
this album now, from when I first heard it and it just sounded like a jumble with broken
rythyms, aimless flute solos, buzzing and whatnot ... now I wonder how I missed all the
musical genius in this album - it's beautiful!
Loved the bite on Dylan. Joni Mitchell hinted that way years ago. ✌️🤍🕊️
Very thoughtful and interesting guy! I think that the word 'woke' can cause issues due to people interpreting it in a myriad of ways - but Ian gives a very nuanced and mindful view on things that doesn't come with the baggage of the other common uses of the word.
Great interview, I enjoyed listening to his endeavors and perspective on other topics and musicians. Ian and the band have been a favorite of mine since 1972 and have seen them perform seven different times in my life. Look forward to hear the new Lp. Hooray! 🎶
I absolutely agree about the pronoun “they”: It’s plural. Don’t contort grammar to accommodate your ideology or politics or weltanschauung or anything else. “Gender” is a grammatical term only. Male and female are sexes, not “genders”. (French has two genders; German has three.) People commonly use “sex” as a slang synonym for “coition”, but that doesn’t mean we can’t retain its proper sense.
"They" has been used with a singular meaning literally for centuries. It's used in English all the time to refer to someone in a non-gender specific way.
Guitarist for Johnny Kidd & the Pirates was Mick Green, though it was a Scot, Joe Moretti who played on Kidd's signature hit 'Shaking All Over', a tune penned by Kidd and covered by the liked of the Who and the Guess Who when they were Chad Allen & the Expressions. Green was also part of the rock 'n' roll quintet Paul McCartney assembled for a few gigs some years back that also included David Gilmour, Deep Purple's Ian Paice and keyboardist Pete Wingfield.
As noted elsewhere below, Steve Cropper was guitarist with Booker T & the MGs. He also co-penned numbers classic soul hits including 'Knock on Wood', 'Dock of the Bay', 'Midnight Hour' and others, as well as playing on just about every soul classic on Stax records. He also was part of the Blues Brothers and worked with a wide range of major names as a player and producer, with one notable record he produced being the 'The Jeff Beck Group' (aka the 'Orange' album), which was the second release by the Jeff Beck Group Mk II (i.e. w/Bobby Tench singing). Cropper was much revered by the likes of Beck and the Beatles for his economical, tasty yet snappy playing.
Anderson's observations on players are objective and well rationalised, as notes by his articulate appreciation of Peter Green's playing. As a songwriter/singer his sensitivities likely don't differ much from others in the same function. Indeed, what the big names want from their musicians is often quite contrary to what the musicians want from themselves, which all too often is to play faster, harder and louder. There is a discussion on that matter that still needs to be made.
Ian Anderson is an icon and living legend. I enjoyed the last interview as well as this one. You two look like brothers too!
Good interview! I only bought STAND UP a couple of years ago and it is now my 2nd most played Jethro Tull album. Looking forward to hearing the new one this week. Thanks!
An act of great courage Barry. After your comment re I.A 's deteriorating vocal prowess in the live arena and the underwhelming previous Tull album (of which i totally concur) i can only assume I.A was not aware of these musings. Interesting interview as always and the new material sounds more promising....fingers crossed.
I think Ian would acknowledge his diminished vocal prowess.
@@classicalbum I'm sure you are correct but maybe his views on The Zealot Gene maybe on more contentious grounds. However we wait for the next instalment of the Tull discography which i have (guarded) higher hopes
@@classicalbum But perhaps not the extent of it and how it makes many of his greatest fans cringe now.
Thanks Barry for the post! It's most enjoyable listening to one of the pioneers of progressive rock music talk about its evolution and characters.
It’s always enjoyable to hear Ian speak. Thank you for this interview both of you!
What a great interview - sensible, sensitive and intelligent questions, and coherent answers from the ever-lucid Ian. A real listening pleasure! Thanks.
"Don't follow in the footsteps of Roger Waters."
Wise advice indeed. 🤣
Ian Anderson and RIP Neil Peart were on another level. These men were well read and were wordsmiths! They wrote lyrics from our history unlike the mental midgets we have today.
I still consider "Standup" to be among his best work, always a thoughtful, acerbic fellow and wonderful he is still creating.
Agreed- blew my socks of back in 1970 and still sounds great today -the song writing and musicianship is consistently high and the progression from This Was is unbelievablein less than a year.
Standup no. 6 on my best Tull records
Great interview Barry. Been a Tull fan since the delicate age of 13 in good old 1982, thanks to the local lending library that had a record section and nearly the whole Tull catalogue, up to that time. I really enjoyed The Zealot Gene, best Tull album for many a year and am really looking forward to Rok Flote.
Very cool!
Anyone who uses the term "woke agenda" shows how simplistic his understanding of the world is. Not unusual on anyone of that age though.
Age isn't the entire issue... plenty of young right-wingers tossing that cliche around as well.
What age would that be, Sir Addle-pate Ass?
I suspect that a longer conversation on the topics of politics, social media and knee jerk reactions would reveal more thought, sophistication and gradient of understanding.
Ironically, it's the woke that are blind to their own wokeness.
You know when somebody asks to define woke... they are woke.
Anyone who dismisses people's entire worldview over the use of the term "woke" shows how their simplistic their view of the world is. The same mental simplicity that breeds ageism.
It often gets funny when non-Scandinavian speakers put dots over O. In this case you get the Swedish words Rök=smoke and Flöte=bobber. :-D
I saw Tull just over a week ago, and he/they put on a very good show, working within Anderson's now limited vocal range. With this in mind, the more recent songs actually worked better than the older ones, because he wasn't straining to hit notes beyond his reach. As for his views on woke...why would you expect a 75 year old Englishman to share the views of an adolescent college student from California? Because he's a rock musician?
I enjoy his music, and he’s still very articulate. Disappointing to hear him so locked in some antiquated views, but then, he’s also been an exploiter of animals for years, so perhaps not all that surprising. And the handwringing over the so-called “woke agenda” and “cancel culture” was just sad. I often wonder why someone is more concerned about the overly PC than the overly not. Neither is ideal, but they’re hardly equivalent. But then his politics and taste in photography made me smile. Humans are such complicated animals, aren’t we. interesting interview, Barry. Thanks for posting.
Tull and early Genesis will be continually discovered by the future generations, I saw David O'List a few times with the Nice, Emerson made a mistake breaking up the Nice and then reproduced the best of the Nice with 'Rondo and America, with ELP
I would not dare to contradict Ian, but as for the best guitarists, yes Peter Green, Eric Clapton, Jimmy page, Rory Gallagher and so many others but the best was Hendrix!
What a great interview and also great to hear about Syd and Pink Floyd.
Excellent interview with a legend! I have to ask though, having a opportunity to chat with a great artist like this who is obviously one of your idols, were you at least a little bit nervous? You handled yourself quite well.
I was nervous.
Glad to hear more of Ian Anderson's thoughts and talks. Reminds me of the Dan Rather interview with him on axstv "the big interview"
Hi Barry always a great interview. A man I would pay to hear him talk. I wonder what the hold up with ztge Broadsword box set. God Bless Ian Anderson, Jethro Tull and Classic Album Review.
Superb interview,Barry,I love Jethro Tull since I first heard Benefit in 1971.
Over the years I think Ian has lost even more of his humour that he had little of to begin with, he just sounds bored, he also seems to know nothing of the history of "the viking age" it was much much more than rape n pillage.
Great to hear Ian talking quite candidly about his new album and loved the ' political' tangents he flew off on.
Very open and interested video.
On another note: I saw Ian with the Tull at the Moseley Festival last year, the band were decent enough, wish Ian could have played some acoustic guitar as well.( being the big Jansch and Harper fan that I am!).
Napoleon was an averaged sized 18th century French male…his ‘smallness’ was British propaganda. ‘May you live in interesting times’ is not a Chinese curse…it comes from an obscure English author…
Yeah, he seems pretty cluless about most things outside of music.
7:04 - "I only make minimal reference to raping, plundering, and looting ... in one song".
LOL, sound like Basil Fawlty saying "Dont mention the war. I did, but I think I got away with it."
Steve Cropper, great songwriter and musician.
That was the musician neither of them could remember from Otis Redding's band. I belive he wrote Dock of the Bay with Otis.
Peace Andy H
Always nice to hear the erudite Ian Anderson. Interesting take on woke culture and his historical perspectives in general. I am mixed on the Tull material today, but I am looking forward to the new album. I like what I have heard to this point. Thank you for the interview.
Glad you enjoyed it!
What Ian Anderson said about Peter Green's guitar playing is so spot on. Actually, B.B. King also rated him the best of those British players.
Ian Anderson was referring to Steve Cropper, who played with Sam & Dave, Otis Redding, and, of course, Booker T & The MGs.
yes, I thought so too. ... Steve Cropper.
...and most (?), might only know SC as a member of The Blues Brothers. ;-)
Great interview. Been a Tull/Anderson fan since early 70's. Looking forward to the new album.
Always great to hear from Ian! Thanks
Bruh didn't expect someone like ian to give in to the moral panic about trans people, especially for such a stupid reason (like, the singular they has been used for centuries). Maybe he is just living in the past
Lots of sense spoken, especially on the woke. Maybe needs to be a little more critical of the West when it comes to the current altercation with the little man in Russia.
I've also started listening to Morrissey for the same reasons and come to the same conclusion about his music and songwriting which had passed me by all these years.
Looking forward to listening to the new Tull album in it's entirety. The releases have been a mixed bag for me so far, needs a bit more bite! But that can be problematic in an age of technology and super smooth digital recording techniques?
Great interview,IA always a pleasure to listen to,looking forward to Rök Flöte, have had The Zealot Gene on pretty high rotation since getting it as a present last Christmas...is this a late,late career renaissance from Ian and Tull?
Well, I laughed when you mentioned Metallica. What a nice surprise to wake up to this day! Thanks. I recently reread Kim. It is such a wonderful read and, though perhaps condescending, seemed a real love letter to India. It was/is a great jumping off point for a real and nuanced discussion of colonialism. Nehru's favorite book, I heard. An interview with Dee Palmer would be a coup.
Reached out to Dee but got no reply
How about Barrie Barlow?
Ian Anderson is such a cool guy. Back then and now.
No need to ask questions...just let Ian speak...he has it down to a science. I will leave it there.
Great interview and looking forward to the new album still missing Martin barre but from what I have heard its good
Enjoyed this interveiw. Thanks for your time, Ian. ❤
Millions would say Ian is their favorite Flute player, but I won't say that, I don't like his playing...... nah, just kidding, he is my Favorite Flute Player too. The man is a legend, for good reason. I love watching Reaction videos to his live shows.... "My God"
THANK YOU for the interview! Big 70's Tull and Ian fan. Glad he's staying away from writing any lyric regarding culture. Definitely could alienate many fans. Thanks again Barry!
Do people discuss culture these days?
I’ve always thought he was a genius and is by far my favourite songwriter, but jeez… he’s a bloody humourless bugger.
Hahaha, he is.
Unfortunately I have to agree. He could make the occasional sarcastic and fun remark in his younger years, but now he comes across as rather extremely stern and self-important. Still, very interesting interview!
the grump-old-man cliche' is a cliche' for a reason. it didn't just pop up out of nowhere.
as you go through life the amount of stupidity you encounter begins to add up, to the point where you no longer wish to waste your dwindling years away tolerating it. and at this juncture in time, we're in the supercomputer mode of calculations.
@@independenceltd. On the contrary, I think Anderson was being a bit stupid here with his ignorant remarks regarding transgenderism. I'm sure many LGTB and trans folk will be bitter in their old age after having to deal for years with such nonsense from people who simply don't get it.
Yep, I had to slip out the side exit after his response to the Metallica question. Dry, flat, humourless.
Ian, Ian. Singular they was good enough for Shakespeare.
He's right about Peter Green, music needs to breathe. Ian Anderson and Roger Waters are enjoyable to listen to as elder statesmen of music.
Plus his music should've been in that movie, The Northman.
Napoleon was average height. He was described as small as a propaganda tool to belittle him. Good interview tho !
Napoleon was 5' 5" tall. He was 1-2" shorter than the average at the time. Still, 2" below average is hardly worth noting, and yet this has been used to caricature the man.
In any case, comparing Napoleon, one of the most brilliant military masterminds in history, to Vladimir Putin is absurd. Putin wishes he was Napoleon. He's just head honcho of a failed state with imperialistic aspirations and zero military experience.
Booker T & The MGs' guitar player was Steve Cropper.
Excellent interview! Very interesting to hear Ian Anderson reflect on Peter Green and Syd Barret. And not least his thoughts on girls' schools and pronoun nonsens.
Thanks for listening
His snotty quip about what the f**k a girl who actually identified as a boy was doing in a girls school was rather odd. Does he think the kid would have a choice about what school they were sent to?
Love Ian's anti woke rant and his refusal to use pronouns. A great interview from an intelligent man.
I thought his argument was rather weak. He seems stuck in the past.
Maybe he is living in the past
@@nectarinedreams7208 ah yes the past, when women had vaginas!
I wholeheartedly agree with you sir. The only flaw here is that what Mr. Anderson says here is not interesting at all in terms of freshness. But I like it, with all faults.
"Woke" means being awake to, and aware of, social injustice, something Anderson himself displayed in his younger days.
Excellent interview! 👍🙂
Awesome.
Thank you! Cheers!
Fantastic interview Barry well done! 👍
This oughta be really good can't wait to hear it.
Mmm.. admiration for Morrissey but criticism of those 'following in the footsteps of protagonist Roger Waters' and his Palestine rights activism? Peter Gabriel and Brian Eno take note then. Ian is a very opinionated guy himself and seems, here, a bit conflicted by his own 'conservative' thought crimes, perhaps? Living in the past.
Anyway, sounds like Syd Barrett's choice to 'drop out' of the music industry rat race and pop stardom fuelled by chemical assistance was, like, Roger's later, brought on by moron audiences.
Still I'm interested in hearing Rock Flute but not in denial of my Scandinavian gene marker very common to these islands. Thanks Vikings!
I have a feeling that Palestine rights activism is not currently on the forefront of Waters' agenda, and it's not the reason why he's being (rightly) ridiculed - it's his moronic stance on Ukraine
Having owned and half memorized some of JT's albums back in the day, I loved Ian's mad genius personae and lyrics. However, should we all be as sane..
Bands like Jethro Tull,Deep Purple,Rainbow,Uriah Heep,Black sabbath are world treasures.....people all over the world enjoy there music..............no cancel culture can ever bring them down!!
Danke für das tolle Interview

Long Live RökFlöte!
Great interview and questions. Well done.
Fantastic interview. Well-done!
An Interesting interview in some respects. I only heard a Jethro Tull album for the first time last month. Prog isn't my thing but the album was better than I expected.
The thing about JT to me is that it seems progressive, but the have that folk flavor and meaningful (not spacey) lyrics that makes them unique through the ages.
Steve Cropper was the guitarist with Booker T and the MGs
Nice interview.
Fascinating about the Peter Green, Eric Clapton comparison.
Such a great surprise to see Ian so amazingly productive - and such high quality.
The new album is so clean and crisp sounding, and the videos are so bright and interesting.
Interesting that Ian semi met Putin.
It's sort of surprising what a flag waver he is against old "Vlad The Bad" when you scratch the historic surface of the situation and see the chronic aggression of the West encircling and constantly strangling Russia, militarily and economically - and since the early 1900 too. Ian should read some Peter Hitchens another British individualistic contrarian I like.
Now I see why Ian is rightfully hesitant of drug-taking now.
I owe my interest in British folk to Ian touring with Steeleye Span in 1973 on the Passion Play tour.
Just waiting for that new album to drop!
Guess I won't be reading Kipling or the Old Testament anytime soon. The loony censorship of my country.
Really, how often does the NHS cut someone's dick off?
Making me think that England must have Fox News too!
Thanks.
(I've just never understood Captain Beefheart, or much Frank Zappa for that matter, though Zappa was clearly a great musician and his instrumentals were great)
Everyone should read Peter Hitchens. I'm 21 and reccomend him to all my politically inclined friends. Him and Scruton are my favs.
@@Nick-qf7vt
Hitchens is great, but recently he was on Twitter trying to make a case that the Nazis were "of the Left", which is positively idiotic. But he and many other studied intellectuals and experts in foreign relations have made a good case that the West provoked this war, and even if they didn't - there were hundreds of oppotunities they had to avoid it or end it.
In all honesty, despite the cultures of the West getting bastardized and unequal with a lot of problems, I think compared to the Russia and China, the West still has more personal freedom, though that seems to be deteriorating rapidly. I would not shed much of a tear if Russia was overthrown and changed - in a positive way.
The problems are two.
1) It's unlikely that if the West won that Russia would change in a positive way. In the 1990's when Yelzin took over the West was in full economic rape and pillage mode against Russia - so it's more proabably that is what our elites are after as opposed as freedom for Russians or Ukrainians.
2) Even if there was a positive change the West could bring about in Russia and Ukraine -- gambling with the whole world in nuclear war, throwing climate change goals off track, and killing and maiming hundreds of thousands of people is not the way to go about it - in fact it was criminal.
@@justgivemethetruth Langsam kenne ich dich immer besser, weil ich seit damals, immer alles von dir lese ,gehe schließlich auch auf alles was mit Tull zu tun hat. .
Hast dich ja einfach ausgeklingt, obwohl ich dir ja freundlicher Weise zB Coloseum ( Lost Angeles- Live LP) zum kennenlernen empfohlen habe .
Übrigens von mir bekommst du immer die Wahrheit. Denke auch,dass du die Historie von Russland der letzten knapp 40 Jahre, nicht vollumfänglich kennst,bzw nicht entsprechend berücksichtigst.
Es ist wie mit der Musik, komplex und tiefgründig, die Mühe es zu erkennen bzw zu ergründen, ist immer lohnenswert. Ich werde vielleicht bald mal '' Leslie Mandoki'' treffen, der hat ja bekanntlich einen der direktesten Drähte zu Ian ,bzw wird von Ian auch als Künstler respektiert. Bleib gesund
He said he doesn’t like to use older stuff. He did it all the time in the 70’s. You should have followed up on that.
Anderson is right about they/them. We all play several roles in life as moms, sisters, daughters, cousins, coworkers, husbands, wives, sons, brothers, etc and we don't call ourselves "they". Essentially, it is f-ing up the language. I want to see where the dust settles after all this trans, non-binary, etc hype passes. If a person is still wanting to go around in diapers wearing a pacifier 20 years from now, maybe I'll start believing they really mean it, and don't just want attention.
"They" has literally been used with a singular meaning for centuries. I swear some people's war on pronouns is as daft as it gets.
@@Trunchis But those examples are in instances when you don't know which specific person you are talking about. This is why when you refer to someone you know as a "they", it confuses the hell out of people. Use something else rather than trying to force this down people's throats.
Great interview. Thank you very much. I am very sorry to hear that Ian still mentions that music critic, after all these years. But I'm not surprised- artists are sensitive people, even though they do not appear that way. That certain music critic's review on TPP album is so hurtful, it is as if he was taking revenge of some sort...either that, or he has no idea whatsoever about the type of music that "touches soul". Or, he has no soul but "emptiness".. (his words are in quotation marks). I've never liked critics of any sort- be it music, art or literature. They can be very disrespectful, and most of the time they are awfully wrong about their judgements. Only true artists can be critics. First produce a work of art yourself, get recognised as an artist, and only then can you appraise another artist's work. Ian might not be angry about being "cancelled out" by cw in 73, but I am furious with these bunch. Then again, I am not an artist, let alone being a genius like Ian...I thank Ian and all the band members past and present for all the joy thay have given us- the ones with the souls who can hear and appreciate. 🙏🌹🌍🌠🏁
Ian Anderson is unusual; love Jethro Tull.
Great Interview Barry.
Well done!
Mick Green , Jonny Kid and The Pirates.
Thanks for this interview, great job!
Glad you enjoyed it!
That was too brilliant. Top Geezers
Great interview. Thanks!
Thanks for listening
Steve Cropper was with Booker T
Great interview truly enjoyed it
