"Tullusions"

[Nonfatman]

There have been many allusions to Tull in popular culture in the past, on television and in the movies, etc., and that shows no signs of abating. The TalkTull folks are currently talking about a Tull reference on the latest episode of the cable show, Nip/Tuck. Apparently, Bungle in the Jungle was playing while the doctors performed plastic surgery:

And my wife is reading a book called The Lovely Bones (which is also a movie) and she came across a Tull reference there too, where a character was listening to Jethro Tull at a loud volume. The quote is:

"Blessedly, in another moment, Jethro Tull erupted again, shutting out all else."

"Blessedly"....I like that.

I remember reading a book and this is probably not a great reference for Jethro Tull but it was about a true murder. The killer was in his early 20's and his favorite band was Jethro Tull, I read the book in the early 80's. I can not for the life of me remember the name of the book. I think it happened in out in the mid west.

Years and years ago I saw a movie where they played some Tull songs - Stand Up aera if I remember it right - and one of the characters wore a Blodwyn Pig T-Shirt. Does somebody else know the film?

Here is another one with references to Jethro Tull, according to the the review:

Good find, there, Geir....thanks for the link. It seems that there have lately been more "Tullusions" than ever, in television shows, books and movies.

Thanks for that, Geir. I'll take a look to see if I can find more "Tullusions."
