To be cl...There I go again... itchy click-finger...<br />To be clear, I'd never deny your right as a critic to a differing opinion about Jethro Tull (and I find some later albums like "A" dull indeed). I was just meeting snark with snark. And... um... you surely know you're overthinking the chicken line, so please permit my labored obviocity: 1) it's a gag, deliberately absurd on its face, and "not yellow but chicken" is what makes it (I think) hilarious... 2) an author's characters don't always reflect the author's thoughts. That's a faddish non-thought going around (like a disease), but... no. Not all writing is confessional, subconsciously or otherwise. If you disagree, I'd be interested. Whatever.

Yes, "yellow" and &quo...Thanks, thanks. <br /><br />Yes, "yellow" and "chicken" are both slang terms for the same thing, but I'm not sure why Bob would call the sun cowardly twice. Just to be emphatic? <br /><br />That's a rhetorical question, like "can you write or sing as well as Ian Anderson?" <br /><br />Actually the "how dare you write about a singer if you aren't at his level" is similar to whether one is allowed to be a boxing announcer without having boxed, a movie critic without having won an Oscar for Best Actor, or complain about the taste of a beer because you don't own a brewery.<br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Ill Folkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08208537275049364194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13393846.post-79384906198002526942017-09-05T07:21:32.914-07:002017-09-05T07:21:32.914-07:00Just discovered your website, appreciate the info ...Just discovered your website, appreciate the info and the snark even though I don't always agree (can you write or sing as well as Ian Anderson?) with the latter. Quick point: your quoted Dylan line about the sun's not obscure, it's Dada, and pretty clearly mocking the plain absurdity of some parts of that book starring the hero of that particular Dylan verse... Says me.<br />(PS. Yellow and Chicken are both slang terms for cowardice; is that yet another bit of trivia known only to us geezers?)<br />(PPS.
