Jethro Tull, EAFB
1,146,599,001. On the Simpsons last Sunday at the end I don't recall the context but I think it was totally out-of-the-blue they started playing this Jethro Tull song, 'Thick as a Brick'. At the photolab where I worked when I was in the service there was a guy who was a service brat that had lived in Deutschland who was a big Jethro Tull fan. He had a big collection of, for then, progressive rock music, all on cassette tape. At the time I secretly sneered at the cassette tape collection because I believed (and still do) in the superiority of the vinyl record.
