I like his other stuff, but these two works appeal to the Celt/Pagan in me.

I used to like them way back in ... I dunno ... junior high. I bought MU & the MU songbook & I enjoyed playing Rainbow Blues or Bungle in the Jungle or Thick as a Brick. Remember the mention of Magritte in "Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll, Too Young to Die"?
I saw Jethro Tull with my older cousin at the Checkerdome in St. Louis in 1979, a few days after or before Fleetwood Mac played there on the Tusk Tour.
My fondness for Tull in the old days never really took hold permanently, probably because I'm essentially a pop-song baby, not an art-rock aficionado. I'm all about the three-minute pop songs laden with super-catchy hooks. That's always been my favorite commercial music.
