[The Songfactors' Choice Top Ten #92]

Well none of my Led Zeppelin songs made it but at least half of those songs I was going to vote for made it to the top 10. I'm 2 days late to voting.

[Jethro Tull at the Palace]

Thanx, Carl, for that recommendation. My family could use a new Christmas album to listen to when we open our presents.

And another thing to add... The dates for the end of Jethro Tull's tour are the following (according to the back of their t-shirt I bought):

December 5th - Newport News, USA

December 7th - Atlanta, USA

December 8th - Mobile, USA

December 10th - Orlando, USA

December 11th - Jacksonville, USA

December 12th - Clearwater, USA

December 14th - Fort Myers, USA

[Homeless theme]

Aqualung by Jethro Tull

Sitting on a park bench

eyeing little girls with bad intent.

Snot is running down his nose

greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes.

Drying in the cold sun

Watching as the frilly panties run.

Feeling like a dead duck

spitting out pieces of his broken luck.

Sun streaking cold

an old man wandering lonely.

Taking time

the only way he knows.

Leg hurting bad,

as he bends to pick a dog-end

he goes down to the bog

and warms his feet.

Feeling alone

the army's up the road

salvation a' la mode and

a cup of tea.

Aqualung my friend

don't start away uneasy

you poor old sod, you see, it's only me.

Do you still remember

December's foggy freeze

when the ice that

clings on to your beard was

screaming agony.

And you snatch your rattling last breaths

with deep-sea-diver sounds,

and the flowers bloom like

madness in the spring.

[Rate the Last Movie You've Seen]

Ratatouille - 8/10

I borrowed it from a family member. It seemed like another clichéd Pixar/Disney movie in the beginning but it turned out good... like the rest of them.

[Into The Wild]

I want to see it too. Not only because of Eddie Vedder but the story seems interesting. I'll have to rent it when it comes out.

[Jethro Tull at the Palace]

Besides Raffi, I would consider Jethro Tull to be my first concert. It was just two days ago and it was well worth it. I love classic rock and I'm glad Jethro Tull was around for me to experience a concert for the first time. Ian Anderson was pretty hilarious in some segments, for example; "accidentally" hurting himself with his flute or why he changed "Fat Man" to "I am a Clinically Obese Person". Now I'm pumped to see a lot more concerts in the future.

Except in many concerts there are mosh pits and if you were to see me I would not survive one. So I'm glad I wasn't beaten to death during Ian's flute solo or trampled when everyone ran to the front when Jethro Tull started playing Locomotive Breath for their encore.

Any good concerts coming around Albany in the next... year or so?
