It's All About Jim: A True Story

Despite popular belief, the old battle-hardened Tull fan know to most of you as Slippery Jim has not slipped off of the face of Tulldom, but is alive, well, and still listening to Tull. Jim is most commonly known for his protesting the discontinuation of TullChat on the Official Jethro Tull Website. But what is not commonly known is that he is getting married in December. This has widely contributed to his lack of time to stick around and chat with fellow Tull fans but it has not dimmed his passion for the greatest band ever. However, his lack time for his Tull blog and his accidental slip on the keyboard has spurred a new blog about Slippery Jim himself:

He is flattered of course and would like to encourage the blog manager to keep the blog updated at all times. In the mean time, Jim would like all Tull fans around the world to know that he can't wait for the new Tull album and will keep you posted to his best ablility.

Another Brick In The Wall

I look forward to writing articles about my favorite band, Jethro Tull! I have been a fan since fourteen and am now a bigger fan than ever. I remember being struck by Aqualung and Locomotive Breath on the radio. I knew this band was truly different. I loved the sound of the music. My eighth grade science teacher was a big fan and from that faithful generation that Tull had emerged out of. As did many other legendary rock groups. But none like Tull. I became an avid fan after hearing Original Masters, which was a a best of compilation, including classics such as Aqualung, Too old to rock and roll, Bungle in the jungle, Sweet Dream, Songs form the wood and more. It wasn't until I got the Aqualung album that I became a real fan. Then I worked my way up from there, from Thick As a Brick, Stand Up, Benefit and others.

I was lucky enough to attend a Tull concert last year, that was a life changing experience for a fan such as myself. And I hope to see them again, this summer in Boston. I am thankful to be on this blog, and I thank Jim the founder of the site for inviting me on. It is a pleasure to be here. I am excited to be writing about the music I love the most.
