He allowed him to talk about his work in detail. Its so interesting to listen to a guy who's music I've enjoyed for 40 years. I don't think it would be possible to have a long and rambling interview like this on MTV or another music channel today.

Broadsword & Beastie is one of my favorite albums. Actually... I had been in a ... Uh ... Mass media boycott of sorts, in terms of music. I had gotten bored in the mid-1970s (disco), so I went on to different genres. Classical, neo-classical, blues, jazz, various ethnic types... So a friend played the album at a party, and I had a double take. Mid-80s. I sorta discovered Tull late. Story: was playing Songs of the Wood in the car, and Mom and Dad were along. Mom said "That sounds like Ian Anderson." "Yes, it's Jethro Tull." "No! I know that is Ian Anderson!" "Yeeaahss... It's Jethro Tull..." about that time I figured out she knew Ian from PBS appearances, and it was getting funny. Let her argue with me a few rounds before I explained the connection. 😂

"...And The Mouse Police Never Sleeps" is an excellent song and a brilliant album opener to Heavy Horses. It has an unusual rhythm and atmosphere, ominous and tense like something important is about to happen, exactly what you want for an album opener, even though it could easily work on its own in a set. Musicianship is impeccably tight, expressive and melodic. This has been my thesis on why this song is good.

Tull was always their own genre, they owned it, unique, immediately identifiable sound like no other. I love their blend of (remember it's the sixties going into the 70's) progressive blues/rock/jazz/ and I don't know what to call the other element they incorporated, don't know if it's proper to say Scot/Celtic, baroque? That other element that defined, the unique blend of strings meet percussion meet a master at his trade flautist. Great stuff. Saw em twice, about 80-81, and " 25 more years of Tull, yeah Ian came on stage (mid 80's sometime SDSU amphitheatre, came out in a wheelchair covered in blankets or something, and then kept out of the wheel chair in classic style, and proceeded. Tull's always a winner
