"We will not be pressured into cancelling our scheduled Israel concert, Ian Anderson, of the famed British rock group Jethro Tull said in a statement recently published in the band's official website, saying that the proceeds of the upcoming show would be transferred to charities advancing co-existence between Arabs, Jews, and Christians.

Hmm, dude..Maybe you wanted to say, 'Muslims, Jews and Christians', because Arabs can be Christians too.
Strange how the entertainers I can't stand are lining up to show their support for the rogue state. Only Bono has jumped ship and come out on the right side. Doesn't mean I have to like him though.
ReplyDeleteI don't even remember when last I heard Jethro Tull. Must have been in my infancy years..Is he as big in the UK as he used to be then? ..
ReplyDeleteI would say, musically, he's a forgotten man in the UK. I imagine Jethro Tull is one of those outfits that can do a nostalgia tour of the US and rake in the coin. Ian Anderson, last time I heard, was running a salmon farm somewhere in Scotaland, and was a member of the Scottish National Party, whose declared policy is support for the Palestinian people. I suspct Anderson is an example of the species identified as "Tartan Tory".
