His name is Ian Anderson not Jethro Tull!

Let's get this straight,... his name is Ian Anderson NOT Jethro Tull! Jethro Tull is the name of the band, which includes multiple members. Why is this so hard for people to understand? Another common error is Lynyrd Skynyrd. There are people out there that insist that's the lead singer's name. Didn't they ever look and question the spelling? My spell check is raising red flags and yelling "wait a minute, something's wrong here!" The original singer's name was Ronnie Van Zant who unfortunately died in a plane crash in 1977 along with Steve Gaines, Cassie Gaines, road manager Dean Kilpatrick, pilot Walter McCreary and co-pilot William Gray. The other band members on the plane suffered serious injuries. The plane ran out of fuel and the pilot tried to make an emergency landing. The name for the band actually came from a physical education teacher named Leonard Skinner who strictly enforced the school's policy against boys having long hair.
I digress,... This used to just bother me a little but one day while shuffling through cds at the library I came across a Jethro Tull cd that was filed under Tull, Jethro. NO! Grrr! I shouldn't let this bother me but it does. Generally when a band has a name that's like a real person's name it's filed under the first letter of the first name but if it's someone who's using their name it's filed under the first letter of the last name.
Jethro Tull has a very interesting stage presence, not that I've ever had the chance to see him live but from what I've seen on tv and videos on the internet he looks interesting. He is a master of the flute and his voice is amazing. One of my favorite songs of their's is Locomotive Breath. If you look it up, like for a video on youtube you must be careful. It's kind of hard to find a good video for it. His costumes were interesting sights as well. Sometimes wearing a renaissance looking getup other times regular clothing. Sometimes his music sounds like it's something out of the renaissance. Fiddle, flute, tambourine, then it surprises you with synthesizers, electric guitar, heavy drums, but it all works in the end to make this wonderful melody. More updates to come. -Katie
