Okay, time to start some crap once again on the Tull Board if there's anybody left to rile up.
Did you read the recent article where Ian discusses that people involved in pharmaceuticals and food production should not be involved in such endeavors to make a lot of money?
So only chosen fields shall be permitted to accumulate wealth in Ian's world. Really?

He is also a socialist so what would one expect. I want my food prepared by a capitalist so he/she/it has incentive to prepare a good product, and that's why the U.S. has the best food and drugs. Why anyone would care what a rock musician would have to say about anything outside of music is beyond me. Bottom line, money is what greases the wheels in this age. I suppose the fluted one sold his fish at cost during his farming days. That's how you get to be one of the top 600 wealthiest people in Great Britian, or whatever that list was. The only ones in our society that should not make a lot of money at what they do are accordian players, soccer players, the Federal government, Supreme Court members, Trump's barber, and Neil Young.

Excellent point there Mike. I don't recall Ian's salmon be offered at a reduced rate, but then again I'm sure he felt those that who indulge in smoked fish are amongst the wealthy an in turn deserve to pay through the nose.

Being things are slow, forgive my not following the label and going into the Paradise Steakhouse, but I smoked some fish the other day. This is fried catfish country down here, but I decided to smoke some catfish with a bit of peach wood, olive oil, lemon and pepper. Bam! One of the best meals I've ever prepared. Fish, sweet potato, smoked cream corn and cole slaw, washed with sweet lemon ice tea. I highly recommend you try it TM. Instructions .... uh, recipe on request. But, back on topic, if you wish to rile things up, you could try politics. I see the usual suspects have tossed their hats, wigs, and (in Donald's case) hair, into the ring. As unqualified as this lot is yet again, at least most have held some sort of job before. I think Chip Kelley, a football head coach and offensive coordinater would make a good president, and have a defensive coordinater for vice president. Over the last thirty years we've had an actor, a CIA director, an adulterer, a cowboy, and an mannequin in office, why not a football coach.

Personally I am not a socialist but Michael, I am not sure how I feel about Ian being described as a socialist. I think he has his feet in both camps. Recently, with regards to Homo and his comments on immigration, which are hot topics in the UK at the moment (Eastern Europeans are our mexicans), one could be forgiven thinking he was a lefty. He said we all come from somewhere so get over it, but then he puts across the other view with Browning of the green.
There's no doubt we are light years ahead of the USA when it comes to socialism. If you think Obama and the democrats are left, man you wanna check out the left over here! So it's no surprise that you would think Ian to be on the left. But for me, and I take great interest in these political matters, Ian is on the fence. He is always outspoken but in my years of study of the man I really wouldn't like to guess which way he votes. Maybe he's smart here. He says just enough to make a point without choosing sides. I guess a smart move when you have an audience spread across the political spectrum.
But TM, can you link to the article please so I can read it.

But TM, can you link to the article please so I can read it. Hey Mix, been a while. Yeah I was running offhand and stereotyping a bit I admit, probably due to the context of TM's statement regarding profits, so I don't really know. I do know Ian had some conservative leans early on and those ideas still rear their heads now and again, but of late he seems to sway with the current liberal tide, in his speech anyway, at least by the standard of measure common here. Most everyone has feet in both camps to a degree, especially as one ages. In IA's case, he just talks a lot - about anything and everything and often without thinking things out or out of ignorance (you might recall the national flag fiasco some ten years back). Ignorance is fine as long as one doesn't flog it, but eventually ..... well, he's crashed and burned too many times to be taken seriously on history, world, political, and religious issues IMO, so I don't give him much of an ear outside of music rants anymore. I don't know about England but I've spent some time in Canada and the left there does make the left in most of the US look like amateurs. The mainline media news there was literally unbelievable much of the time with no opposing balance. Well, it is in the US also, but the networks here don't pretend it's news anymore. It's spin and entertainment. The US as a whole has been generally classified center right forever, but that's changing. I think we're still capitolist though, maybe, for now.

Dumping old bandmates and friends so one can get a bigger cut of the proceeds by paying hired hands at union wages is fine? Ian is as crass a capitalist as one can get. I don't take stock in anything he says.

I must admit I have never eaten catfish. I've caught a ton of them but never cooked 'em.

Give me a break. The point he is making is that something so important to people's health has to be affordable otherwise it does no good. He had a salmon business to employ the locals who needed to earn a living in that region and wasn't making much money.

I must admit I have never eaten catfish. I've caught a ton of them but never cooked 'em. I would suggest that you smoke pond catfish from a controlled fed enviroment which is where most restaurants here get their fish. Catfish are bottom feeders so they are usually transfered, or cycled through two or three different holding "ponds" until they are clean. Brush fillets with olive oil, season with salt and black pepper and whatever spice you choose - garlic, dill, red pepper etc. Place on a screen over the grill offset from the fire, or in a smoker, and smoke with fruit wood (I use peach or cherry wood chunks) over charcoal at roughly 225 to 250 degrees for forty-five minutes to an hour, or until brown and flakey. I usually make a white sauce to go with mine - mayo, lemon juice, red pepper, garlic powder, sweet pickle juice or sugar, diced sweet or dill pickle etc. This won't replace the fried version for me just yet, but this is healthier, simple, and flavorful. Let's call it, Smoked Catfish Rising.

You are buying so I suppose you deserve the break you requested. Thus I bequeath to you "a break." Yeah, I'm buying too. Any good man deserves the benefit of the doubt.

Strange to see you come out in defense of Ian Tullabye. ;-) And what exactly is there that is affordable when it comes to healthcare? And why limit it to just healthcare. How about education? But the point being that we could argue this from anyone position. The idea that specific professions should grant limited compensation just doesn't sit well with me.

Well, I do enjoy the differing viewpoints. I think it is OK to cherry pick the good parts of politics and religion. Reframe a position and move forward. I would like to read the article. Where is it?

There's a link in this thread above that I believe touches on the subject. It's a funny coincidence that I posted the new thread about the Passion Play expense and accounting sheets before I even saw that this post about Ian's views on money was the previous post on the board.
