There's a funny story how the Jethro Tull band kept changing names just so they could get a gig. They were terrible at the time.... Anyway. Who was Jethro Tull and what was his big invention? |

Of course, my (much earlier) review of Living in the Past does identifies the original as having been a "19th Century agriculturalist." Now you are honour-bound to share the prize and accolades with me! Good question, Danbo! BTW guys, I'm still waiting for a correct answer to my latest "OK, Here's Another One" Led Zep/Tolkien thread in this section....

Aargh! You beat me, Alexander! Good one!

I haven't really listened to Zep in years. I knew the Tolkien answer from LZ II, However, I can't remember anything from House of the Holy. Congrats on getting it right Alexander. |
