WordWolf Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 AQUALUNG----Jethro Tull It is indeed. The name "Aqualung" for the homeless man in the song seems to be a reference to his laboured breathing- sounding like someone using a breathing device. This is the best-known song of Jethro Tull. You can recognize their songs pretty easily, often- listen for a FLUTE. That's Ian Anderson playing. There's a story- which I seriously doubt is true- that Ian Anderson heard Eric Clapton play the guitar, and concluded he'd never be that good. He walked into a music store, pointed to a flute, and announced he wanted to learn to play it. Fans of the movie "Anchorman" should recognize the reference to the song when Burgundy is in the restaurant playing the flute. "Well the dawn was coming,heard him ringing on my bell." "I have a lesson that I must impart to you. It's an old expression, but I must insist it's true. 'Jump up, look around, find yourself some fun, no sense in sitting there hating everyone. No man's an island and his castle isn't home, the nest is for nothing when the bird has flown.' '' " Hey man, what's the plan, what was that you said? 'Sun-tanned, drink in hand, lying there in bed.' I try to socialize but I can't seem to find what I was looking for, got something on my mind." THIS song was "the Teacher", another Jethro Tull song which gets significant airplay on classic rock stations. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqH8I6V-E5g or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fNY0JuATpQ I wasn't even going to try one like "the Whistler" because I'm a fan and even I'd never heard of it until about 1 month ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hLzRDt4pvI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was played on album oriented stations so that counts. I remember it I just can't think of the song right now

Don't know the title but then I never did like the stones to much. unless it was covered by Flying Burrito brothers also which would make it dead flowers but I think that's another song.
