	Ian Anderson explaining why Jethro Tull skipped Woodstock "I asked our manager, Terry Ellis, "Well, who else is going to be there?" And he listed a large number of groups who were reputedly going to play, and that it was going to be a hippie festival, and I said, "Will there be lots of naked ladies? And will there be taking drugs and drinking lots of beer, and fooling around in the mud?" Because rain was forecast. And he said, "Oh, yeah." So I said, "Right. I don't want to go." Because I don't like hippies, and I'm usually rather put off by naked ladies unless the time is right."
