I love the fact that in his dotage, Ian Anderson is embracing the more absurd and extreme forms of prog rock.
After last year’s Homo Erraticus concept album, he’s now gone to the next level with plans for a rock opera about Jethro Tull (the man, not the band).
It’s what the world has been waiting for.
and quite a nice statement from IA too on the same site

He’s written some new music for the show and reinterpreted others. Creative approach to keeping the franchise alive, or cynical cash in – take yer choice. I shall be going regardless.
