When you were in high school or college, did your friends ever tease you about your zealous love of Tull?
I got a lot of that, and it was merciless at times. Particularly, I think because of the phallic nature of the flute, and also because the way in which my dorm room was adorned with Tull posters of every kind -- back in the seventies you could find some massive, larger than life posters of Tull and Ian -- my best friends in college were fond of saying that if I could, I would give Ian a blow job.
And they worked out several scenarios, complete with scripts, which they play-acted and would invariably end with me meeting Ian and making such a request.

I don't know about ''did I get 'teased'', I still do, only this time it's more akin to abuse!  |

I do recall some Deadhead's once starting to singing "dee dee dee dee" when they saw me. |

I do recall some Deadhead's once starting to singing "dee dee dee dee" when they saw me. Yeah, they really did bust my balls, but one of them, this guy Fred who I talked about in another thread, I succeeded in converting. For a good six or seven years he was even more of a fanatic than I was, but ultimately lost interest. I've got an even better story than that, which is really very funny, but I'm not sure the board is ready for it.  Jeff |

Jeff good story Jeff but what happened to the hilarious smiley you had here when I first read it What, you mean this?  I was trying to get it to work (no pun intended) but the animation just freezes. The guy on the right -- which I guess would be me in this story -- is supposed to move to the left, bob back and forth repeatedly, and then the other guy is supposed to suddenly erupt all over the place. I tried a few other blowjob smileys too, but I couldn't get any of them to work right.  Jeff |

I think most of the kids I knew didn't even know about Tull. The ones that had heard of their hit or something seemed to generally like them a lot. I introduced a few friends to them. One of them didn't really like it (but liked the lyrics) and the others did, some of them came to buy some of their albums.
One time when I was in Brooklyn some homeless guy saw my Tull shirt and started to laugh pretty spitefully about me wearing it. It was amusing.
EDIT: I just remembered one instance of someone making fun of Tull when I said I liked them. It was because of the flute. Funny, he was sort of a hardcore rock guitarist and one time I was riding in his car with him, and his mix CD had James Blunt "You're Beautiful" on it, I look at him like what the hell man and he says "Hey, you gotta be open minded." I guess that excludes flute-playing.
