First, Jethro Tull isnt in the band although clearly some of the folks responding to this clever and funny article clearly might be named Jethro or Cletus….

Ian Anderson, the leader of Jethro Tull does indeed rock a mean flute and if colorful codpieces are all it takes for a heavy metal grammy than I am certain Mr Anderson has worn a few…..

Agreed that Mike P must be ‘thick as a brick” to get defensive like this. Of course the ‘Tullsters’ rock and deserved more than that grammy to be certain…in the future I ‘really dont mind if you sit this one out’ at least when your bothering to correct a point nobody really cared about anyway.

As for Lady Gaga’s choice of hats….perhaps she is actually a man who is lacking in certain areas and a large hat makes up for her shortcommings elsewhere.

I think your Jethro Tull experience is cool but the article is about so much more. So let’s cut to the chase… Pink was so hot and yes all eyes were on her! The aside comment about Jethro Tull was effective! Lady Gaga is cool but she needs to have a cone of silence talk with her stylist. Never block the view of others when you don’t have to. Now you can insert the flute~

Actually, Jethro Tull isn’t a guy. Jethro Tull is a transvestite who likes it hard & heavy, but without metal. Thus, the Grammy category was flawed as pointed out in the article by Mr. Dean. Obviously, Mike Pardee is a fan of CDs and I don’t mean compact discs. This brings new meaning to the whole Bungle In The Jungle thing (insert flute in mouth – repeat).

Sharp as a knife! I think we all agree that Jethro Tull rules and yes I have seen them live. It was in the 70′s and the way, the place went wild with Tull’s heavy, hard, metal rock! By the way this article reads like a comic book. F—in funny mate!

Very sharp, Mike Pardee, to go to the Grammys website and clarify the exact name of the award. While it’s not Jethro Tull’s fault he was miscategorized, I know through all the research I did on him and his band that he plays a mean flute that is definitely heavy, hard, metal rock.

Not so sharp, Tull won for Best Heavy Metal/Hard Rock not just Heavy Metal…and there were a lot of other artists bunched in with them there…personally I thought it was pretty cool to watch the smarmy smiles on Metallicas faces fall when they heard the news….awww…Tull is an awesome band and their legacy form the 70′s was deserving a grammy, its not their fault they were fairly mis-catorgorised.

Love this article! Very sharp and witty. Cheers to Pink who was hot beyond belief and to Liberace’s codpiece which all men should be required to wear at all times. Thanks~
