Just to veer a little bit further, I saw Jethro Tull live in Manchester about 1980, and must say they were very good. As far as the records are concerned, I'd go a little bit further than Dem and stick with them right through the 70s - up to and including Stormwatch. I'm afraid they lost me soon after that. They probably still put on a good show though, I reckon. OK, let's veer off even further. I've been to numerous Tull concerts - been following them for the whole of their 40 year existence. Last year's acoustic tour was great - the first time I've seen them "unplugged". I must admit, I like just about all their records up to Stormwatch too, but I don't think they've produced anything up to their earlier standards since then. But their live shows are amazing. Ian Anderson looks better now than he did when I had pictures of him stuck all over my bedroom walls when I was a teen. And he still prances around the stage like a 20-something!

I've just followed all those links to find out who the person in the centre of that photo is. It's not our very own Mr Redbrain, is it? Have you ever been in Tull, Redbrain?

Here's Ian Anderson frothing at the fangs in a brilliant promo for Sweet Dream. The even worked in a few clips from The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari giving it a Basil Copper- Amber Print feel. Found it on YouTube last year but seems it's since been removed for the usual 'violation of service' yarbles.

Thinking about this, I think that one Polynesian woman would be sufficient for me. Could I trade the others in for a cat?

Damn. In that case I might have to trade my DVD for a bottle of Matey.

Hey, this is turning into Fantasy Island!

Can I have redbrains extra Polynesian girls and Kate Bush too?
I might have the solution to all this Coral. Why don't you find the one book that people wouldn't want to take on the island
