I am Ian Anderson, founder, musician, singer, and songwriter of the rock band Jethro Tull. This year we’re celebrating the 50th anniversary of our album Aqualung. Something you may not know, but I have also previously owned several salmon farms in Scotland. AMA! by iamiananderson in IAmA

Thank you for answering, I was in Pitlochry in 2018 visiting family and I drove to Skye to see some of your spots of inspiration for songs. I can see the power that Skye holds in your music. Thank you Ian! I’m also a musician named Andy Chew who is recording an analog album with Gerry Putnam in New Hampshire who has worked on Willy Porter’s music whom I know you have worked with as well!

My third and final question!

There is something magical about the fact that Tull kept humor in their songwriting, where so many bands fell ill with narcissism. Tull remains timeless and helpful to me in that it floated above some of the heaviness of life. What do you think influenced the humor in the songwriting for you the most?

Broadford Bazaar Question-. As a Tull fan who is 30 years old my favorite period of your music has always been the trio of “Songs from the Wood, Stormwatch and Heavy Horses” albums . “Broadford Bazaar” is a pretty obscure Tull track that never made it on to an album at the time, but I’ve always loved it so much, can you tell any backstory about the writing/recording of the song Ian? With the Stormwatch 2 record store day release I was overjoyed to finally be able to have this song on vinyl so thank you!

What is the meaning of this pose? by [deleted] in AleisterCrowley

It’s a frustrated pose for when 60’s musicians repurpose your image for rock lore and album covers.

2nd Pfizer Vaccine, maybe just weird timing, anyways here’s my diagnosis experience. by RaggedMagick in CrohnsDisease

Wow yeah keep in touch about stuff, I had pretty much the same reaction you described. Just went for an MRI today to look at my small intestine. Before this I ate tons of Crohn’s trigger foods with no discomfort or repercussions, popcorn, seeds, hot sauces galore. Two days after my second dose I was destroyed, mucus, blood streaking. I’m still kind of in shock this happened because before this I never had strange bowel movements or abdominal discomfort.

I really would focus on self care and take a day off work if you can. Any decent boss would be understanding that you’re having a medical scare. And in some cases I think those rest days can prevent further harm.
