Ian Anderson (musician)

"The original Jethro Tull was a 19th century English agriculturist who invented a seed drill you see... the first automatic process where by small holes were made in Mother Earth and even smaller seeds were deposited one at a time and neetly covered over as a cat does after having been naughty."

"I don't think it's very easy to make friends with musicians. We're all a bit paranoid. It soon becomes very heavy."

"Oh father high in heaven — smile down upon your sonWho's busy with his money games — his women and his gun."

"In the beginning Man created God; and in the image of Man created he him."

":2 And Man gave unto God a multitude of names, that he might be Lord over all the earth when it was suited to Man."

":3 And on the seven millionth day Man rested and did lean heavily on his God and saw that it was good."

":4 And Man formed Aqualung of the dust of the ground, and a host of others likened unto his kind."

":5 And these lesser men Man did cast into the void. And some were burned; and some were put apart from their kind."

":6 And Man became the God that he had created and with his miracles did rule over all the earth."

":7 But as all these things did come to pass, the Spirit that did cause man to create his God lived on within all men: even within Aqualung."

":8 And man saw it not."

":9 But for Christ's sake he'd better start looking."

"I may make you feel but I can't make you thinkYour sperm's in the gutter, your love's in the sink."
