Religious Experience? Maybe! A Literalist Reaction to Jethro Tull - Hymn 43

Welcome! We have more than 225 Reaction Videos! Please SUBSCRIBE to our channel and LIKE & comment on our videos! We READ EVERY SINGLE COMMENT no matter how long the video has been up! Your comments help us make choices for future reactions.
A little about us:
Dave (the 36-year-old with the impressive beard) was raised almost completely sheltered from pop culture by his strict military family. He was homeschooled K-12. He legitimately has very little knowledge of music and artists from before 2000.
John (the guy in disguise) has been a MUSIC LOVER since he was born in the 1960's. Problem is, he rarely knows the lyrics to the music he loves.
Dave, on the other hand, has never heard or rarely overheard the music that John chooses to play for him, but does an impressive job sussing out the meanings behind the lyrics, sometimes to unexpected ends.
John remains in the dark both as a wry play on the situation but also because of legal issues causing his attorney to recommend maintaining a low profile.
We did not write, nor do we own the Copyright for the song used in this Educational Reaction Video. This is a real, honest reaction to a song Dave have never consciously heard before and/or listened to with intent. Any "facts" offered by John "Doh" are based more on his remembrances than on any actual research. Please feel free to correct him. He loves it.

Amazing song from an amazing album by an amazing band.

[@Jimi-ld2vw]

Great song, great album.

[@Ninang363]

Definitely the golden age of Tull.

[@Jimi-ld2vw]

My Darling Clementine, Once Upon A Time In The West, Good/Bad/Ugly/, and Fire Creek are some of my favorite westerns. I do enjoy Westworld as well.

If you want more flute please give Chicago's "It Better End Soon" all 4 movements a listen.

Merry Christmas!!

[@LiteralistReactions]

Same to you!

[@ronaldwilliams6927]

Ian poked fun at religion a lot.. however you have to appreciate his songwriting skills and flute playing which by the way he is self taught! I wish i could have seen them live.

[@bernrudolph2422]

Jethro Tull - Songs From The Wood, great song, great album. Don't forget Max Webster - Beyond The Moon and also High Class In Borrowed Shoes.

LOL--" There Will Be Flute "

[@geniousatqw]

Your Music Mirrors Your Mind Song suggestion: User Friendly Band/Artist: Ian Anderson Album: Walk Into Light Ian's first solo effort. Flute to enjoy.

Interesting turn of conversation from Jesus to Captain America. I think it is actually apropos on the part of LD. Captain America's "weapon" of choice is a shield, which is not very offensive but actually defensive. Anyway, no related music thoughts on that topic. Good song choice. As for knowing how to pronounce names of musicians you like, I would point out that most fans pronounced Ian Anderson's name as "Jethro Tull". ;)

Martin Barre (Bar)

[@LiteralistReactions]

I stand corrected. Thank you! - JD

[@scotttrainer9704]

Sounds like whoever wrote the book never watched John Wayne either.

[@fernandotor3266]

Ian also play acciustic guitar

[@LiteralistReactions]

Agreed, and he often does during shows which means he probably does when recording. Thanks! - JD

[@Owlstretchingtime78]

Strange spelling of acoustic mate!

[@LiteralistReactions]

for some of our viewers, English is a third language... give a little grace. - JD

[@Ninang363]

In the hymnal at our church when I was a kid there was a song called "Onward Christian Soldiers"...WTF??

[@corawheeler9355]

That was written by Sir Arthur Sullivan of Gilbert and Sullivan fame.

[@genegibson1690]

The name is pronounced Bar not barry

[@LiteralistReactions]

Indeed. - JD

[@BG-id2cv]

It's Martin Barre pronounced BAR not BARRY

[@LiteralistReactions]

I stand corrected. Thank you! - JD

[@joebloggs8636]

There's nothing worse than those speaking about Jethro Tull ,knowing nothing about them... just saying.😅

[@LiteralistReactions]

Really? So, you feel I must know how to properly pronounce every member's name or I am not allowed to tell my young friend how much I enjoy their music? Do you realize how elitist and asinine you sound? I am on record: I absolutely loathe fanboys whose entire worth is wrapped up in their knowledge of their favorite band. But... you do you.

[@Owlstretchingtime78]

​@@joebloggs8636What an elitist attitude you have
