“John Lydon had had a few beers. He was being completely over the top, saying how much he loved Aqualung”: Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson quizzed by Yes, Genesis, ELP stars and others

Ian Anderson with Jethro tull’s Thick As A Brick album.

Jethro Tull’s venerable bandleader Ian Anderson is no stranger to interviews, but he’d never done one quite like this before.

Ian Anderson is a hale-looking 78, and Jethro Tull, the band he formed in London in 1967, are fast approaching their diamond anniversary, but neither show any signs of slowing down.
