Huh?!? I've heard this before -that people don't like "Killing Wissie"...
"Kissing Willie"... but I can't understand why not... I like it... simply
'cos it rocks and it's funny... I can't see that's something wrong with that...

But... as we are speaking of Tull... have you heard "Roots to Branches" (I
believe that's the name...)...'cos I bought it without listening to it first
when it was new 'cos the last albums had all been so good so I didn't think
that Tull were going to such a bad record ( as it turned out to be) anymore...
Shit! If I just look at it, standing in my shelf next to "Catfish Rising" and
"Nightcap" and that sort of things then I start to cry... almost at least...
I just can't find anything on that record that I like -where's the melodies?
-where's the riffs? -where's the new exciting inventive music???
It's simply just "Catfish Rising" again _without_ melodies and songs!!!
Maybe Ian is using the wrong hole when he's playing the flute on this one???
