Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2008This is so sad but true
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sl8mIasQjUM God Bless Ian Anderson for being a cat lover. Purrs for all those who have gone to the Bridge. Jill I've never heard this song before. What a beautiful way to honour his cat (and any cat). Nanny > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sl8mIasQjUM > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Jill > I've never heard this song before.

Love his music :) Jill >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sl8mIasQjUM >> [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >> >> Jill > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sl8mIasQjUM > > God Bless Ian Anderson for being a cat lover.

I had the pleasure of his company for a day when he came to meet the margays we took with us and talked cats with him for hours. He is a genuine cat lover and a genuinely nice man, who adores his cats. Helen M Thank you, loved it.

That's really good to know! Someone once told me that there was no actual band "Jethro Tull" - that there was only Ian Anderson and a stream of hired musicians (not equal band members), who would then either be fired or would quit because he was so egotistical and tyrannical. Maybe the person who told me this didn't know what he was talking about. Or maybe Anderson *is* a jerk to work for, who also happens to love cats. I've always loved their music, regardless.

If I had that talent I'd be egosistcal and tyrannical too. Play the flute like that, or the guitar and keyboards and have that voice.... hmmm. > Maybe the person who told me this didn't know what he was talking > about.

Might be a jerk, I dunno :) Jill >> Someone once told me that there was no actual band "Jethro Tull" >> that there was only Ian Anderson and a stream of hired musicians (not >> equal band members), who would then either be fired or would quit >> because he was so egotistical and tyrannical. > If I had that talent I'd be egosistcal and tyrannical too. Play the flute > like that, or the guitar and keyboards and have that voice.... hmmm. I remember the promo for the first album making a big deal of how he started playing the flute only three weeks before they recorded it. This was supposed to be evidence for amazing talent. I play the flute (and had been for a few years before then). To me it sounded like that was *exactly* how long he'd been playing. (Look at Nina Perlove's videos on YouTube for how it ought to be done). Anderson had a good reputation in the Highlands for creating jobs with his fishfarm. On the other hand fishfarming as a whole now has a horrendous reputation (they're salt water battery farms using truly evil chemicals, the latest scandal being farmed salmon contaminated with diesel fuel). Dunno if his is any better. The cat stuff on his site is great, though, and that song for his old black cat was obviously from the heart. ==== j a c k at c a m p i n . m e . u k === <http://www.campin.me.uk> ==== Jack Campin, 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland == mob 07800 739 557 CD-ROMs and free stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, and Mac logic fonts >> that there was only Ian Anderson and a stream of hired musicians (not >> equal band members), who would then either be fired or would quit >> because he was so egotistical and tyrannical. > If I had that talent I'd be egosistcal and tyrannical too. And then there are some people who are egotistical without having any talent. Personally, I find that trait obnoxious and anti-social regardless of the level of talent. I don't believe in double standards for behavior, and I don't respect those who think that some people "deserve" to be arrogant because they're so talented, smart, good-looking, rich, or whatever it is they admire.
