If JPP or Plant did show up it was to do a piano part or a harmonica section....but that was likely done at Headley Grange. The point is....you weren't stepping into that studio and witnessing the magic & seeing all of them there. Hell, even at that point in Aqualung they were probably working on overdubs as well. And all that magic for Zeppelin was at Headley Grange. In fact, some recording sessions can be extremely dull. Ringo Starr famously said about his least favorite album, Sgt Peppers, that is "when I learned to play chess". There were entire days that he wasn't even needed. And George basically implied that the White Album was recorded like 4 solo albums.

When you consider that the song was originally called : "a guilt-ridden song of confusion about how you deal with beggars, the homeless." and in Mr Anderson's own words describe its meaning as : "It's about our reaction, of guilt, distaste, awkwardness and confusion that we feel when we're confronted with the reality of the homeless" It is sadly the fact that in 1971 this was written to portray the mindset of those who would seek to increase the burden of the downtrodden of society by the assumption of deviance, and even more sad that it remains the same almost half a century later.

It's easier to assume that people are homeless because of their own bad decisions and weakness, (whatever that weakness may be: drugs/alcohol, ptsd/mental problems/health problems/insufficient opportunity), than it is to treat people the way in which we ALL would want to be treated. If America could remember to apply the Rule of Law equally, fully fund education to include ALL children and support the Common Good for everyone, we'd all be better off and it would cost less over the long run. Of course, there's always people in the world who measure their own success by the failure of others. Makes them feel better about themselves I guess.

One thing you might notice if you read the lyrics over: The beginning and the end of the song depict aqualung as people who don't know him perceive him, how they profile him as disgusting and dangerous ("eyeing little girls with bad intent" etc.), and the middle part talks about his aches and pains, the fact that he's cold, and the fact that he's afraid of anyone who approaches him, even someone who thinks of him as a friend. It's actually a pretty sensitive portrait of what it's like to be homeless and misunderstood. Listen to the song again and check out how the point of view and the music shift. [1. The opening music is a bit alarming and we are given a glimpse of how outsiders perceive him] Sitting on a park bench Eyeing little girls with bad intent Snots running down his nose Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes, hey, Aqualung Drying in the cold sun Watching as the frilly panties run, hey, Aqualung Feeling like a dead duck Spitting out pieces of his broken luck, oh, Aqualung [2. The music grows quiet and we see how he experiences his life and how a sympathetic person sees him] Sun streaking cold, an old man wandering lonely Taking time, the only way he knows Leg hurting bad as he bends to pick a dog end *[a cigarette butt]* He goes down to a bog and warms his feet Feeling alone, the army's up the road *[a reference to the Salvation Army]* Salvation a la mode and a cup of tea Aqualung, my friend, don't you start away uneasy You poor old sod, you see it's only me Do you still remember December's foggy freeze When the ice that clings on to your beard It was screaming agony Hey and you snatch your rattling last breaths With deep-sea diver sounds And the flowers bloom like Madness in the spring Sun streaking cold, an old man wandering lonely Taking time, the only way he knows Leg hurting bad as he bends to pick a dog end He goes down to a bog and warms his feet Feeling alone, the army's up the road Salvation a la mode and a cup of tea Aqualung my friend don't you start away uneasy You poor old sod, you see it's only me Aqualung my friend don't you start away uneasy You poor old sod, you see it's only me [3. Again, the music changes and the point of view is back to that of people who look down on him and are afraid of him] Sitting on a park bench Eyeing up little girls with bad intent Snots running down his nose Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes, hey Aqualung Drying in the cold sun Watching as the frilly panties run, hey Aqualung Feeling like a dead duck Spitting out pieces of his broken luck, hey Aqualung Oh Aqualung

I think of Aqualung as the man in "Locomotive Breath" Who's children jumped off at stations. one by one (abandoning him), and his woman ran off with his best friend "in bed and having fun". And from there his life just spiraled downward with one bad event after another, not being able to get off that train "No way to slow down", until he finally hit rock bottom. And now he's just a homeless person left with nothing who's given up. Sadly, that's probably the story for a lot of real homeless men who've lost everything, family, wife, job, house and just end up on the streets. By the way Jamel, an 'aqualung' is what they used to call an oxygen regulator that allows breathing from the tanks on a deep sea diver's back. I can only imagine how that fits into Jethro Tull's homeless old man in this song. Maybe it's that he's submerged, trapped in the deep waters of life but hangs on still able to somehow breathe anyway,...a survivor in a world that shows him no mercy. Who knows? But it's fun to try and figure out the meanings of these kinds of songs anyway. Its kind of like poetry if you will.

An oxygen tank "Aqualung" allows you to breathe under water, under pressure and only for a short time. It's really difficult to get used to breathing pressurized air and it's all timed. If you go too deep, then you can't come back up quickly or you get air bubbles in your blood. Decompression illness or "The Bends." This is the life of a homeless person.

One of my friends asked if a flute could used. I told him that if he had to ask that question he never heard of Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull. It's not about the instrument that is used, as much as it is the sound the artist is trying to create. And Ian Anderson produces one heck of a sound.

Both Ian and Maynard write songs about the harder aspects of life, the nitty gritty details. Most people miss those parts of life, but these guys dissect them. Also both bands (in their own way) are very orchestral in how they build their songs. Brilliance: that’s the connection.

And yet, so many, too many judge the homeless as inferior, losers, addicts, etc. Instead, we could try regarding them as a sort of "mirror".... could so easily be "us" instead of "them". Circumstances can change so quickly, as we have witnessed over the last couple of months.

My dad accidentally sold my Mom's entire collection of Jethro Tull albums at a garage sale in the 70s. I don't know how he made it up to her, but he survived. She replaced them immediately. Jethro Tull is an incredible band. Ian Anderson's voice is like a lullaby to me, which sounds weird, but I associate this group so closely with my mom. It makes me teary at times listening to them, but good tears. Good memories. Music. Connection.

The best part of your videos, my friend, is the humanity you bring to experiencing these songs on a deeper level. When you feel the lyrics strike your soul to the core we can all feel it with you. Humanity has a terrible habit of placing everyone in categories: black or white, rich or poor, smart or stupid, beautiful or ugly. We might not all realize it, but it’s in our nature to label and divide. You bring back the humanity and the feel of empathy for others that we all over look nowadays.

I'm not sure if this is folklore, I heard Ian Anderson would sit on the streets just before his concerts, dressed as if living on the streets. Concert gowers would pass him on the street as they entered the arena- behaving like so many when confronted with this preventable situation- Abolish Homelessness Now! As concert goers wait in line to enter the arena, all those feelings would emerge when confronted with a man that is homeless, like guilt for witnessing the criminalization of the poor people. Ian would start the show by walking on stage with the same clothing and reveal himself to the audience. Even if it's not a true story, it is thought provoking- as all of his music is.

That part you were talking about where it sounds like in a distance: The unusual audio effect you hear in this song is called "telephone burbles" where you remove all frequencies except for a narrow band around the 1,000 hertz mark. This is to reproduce the sound of a telephone. As Ian Anderson told us: "It's also like when you're addressing a crowd through a megaphone. Or even perhaps the tinny sound of a voice trumpet, which is a non-active megaphone. It's a form of address. It's the sound that woke up young pilots in 1941 and sent them into the skies to battle the Hun. This is the sound of the Tannoy, the calling to arms of young men going up in their Hurricanes and Spitfires. It's something that's very much part of the blood of an Englishman." www.songfacts.com/facts/jethro-tull/aqualung

This is Sandra's husband: This was one of my favorite bands in the 1970's. I still have the vinyl album. I saw them in concert at the University of Georgia Coliseum. By the way, it is not "tool," but "tull." Anyway, in an English class in which were we asked to write an essay on, I think, House of Seven Gables and democracy, I quoted a line from "Crossed Mary," "Who would be a poor man, a beggar man, a thief, if he had a rich man in his hand?" Well, one day, while wandering in the stacks of the University of Georgia library, I picked out a book on famous British inventors. I randomly opened it. I opened it to the page for Jethro Tull. Jethro Tull was the inventor of the wheeled plow! Now, why this band named themselves after the inventor of the wheeled plow and had their break-out album about misfits and people down on their luck, I don't know. But, I love this album.

Hi Jamal! Went to see Jethro TULL not Tool (!) his name is pronounced like LULL ( lullaby) .So went to see The band Jethro Tull in 1972 way before The Almond Brothers existed. This music is called “ Prog” and is progressive so yes you would not have heard anything like it. The male front singer dancing around is Ian Anderson and is a musical genius! Still touring today! Seeing them live in the early 1970’s as a young teenager you never forget how mine blowing they were! Grand Funk Railroad was good but nothing like these guys. I would compare them more to The Moody Blues or YES for story telling, great lyrics and musicianship and incredible tunes! I love watching you react to our music! At 66 I can say we had the best music this world has ever seen and heard. We lost Jeff Beck, Christie McVee and David Crosby recently. They are dying off so please catch any of our groups and singers out there when you can! Peace ✌️ ❤ Bless you Jamal! Xx

Tony Iommi was only in Jethro Tull for 2 days following the departure of guitarist Mick Abrahams in the Rock N Roll Circus performance. And he was only a member of Jethro Tull for 2 weeks before being replaced by Martin Barre. And in that video, only the flute and vocals were live, all the other instruments were mimed. Meaning there were pretending to play.

"spitting out pieces of his broken luck" Such a great line. It gives an immediate insight into his ruined past and what he may be thinking day to day.

No one comes close to writing great lyrics as Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull!

I gotta say, I'm loving the empire strikes back T-shirt your rocking in video man. Kudos man, KU DOS! Yeah Jethro Tull was really a band before it's time. Or perhaps they are just timeless as everything they sing in this is just as true today as when they wrote and performed this piece.

I’m so grateful to have been a teen in Toronto back when bands like Tull were always coming to town. A Great time to be young. Peace

As a long time Jethro Tull fan (Went to their concert in NYC in the late 70's when I was in HS) AND a big Tool fan (Saw them live in2019) I love that you've reacted to them bth! And while I never noticed the vocal style similarity between Ian and Maynard - I'm going to have to listen to that some more. Love ya Jamel!

You are my first subscription on youtube. I love Jethro Tull, but you also reacted to Barbra Streisand's "Higher Ground" one of my favorites of hers, making you similar to my vast taste in music. I'll be watching. Thanks for illustrating that all music can be enjoyed by all people if we only take a few minutes to just listen. We'd have a lot more understanding in this world. Peace
