Personal Quote:

I had a firm resolve to walk away from Jethro Tull and playing live music. It was a feeling of betrayal - these people buy your record and then come to a concert and whistle and hoot and screech and generally do everything possible to stop you hearing what you're playing! A baying crowd just looking to get their jollies out of volume and repetitive rhythm - it all felt quite vulgar. See more »
