    Jethro Tull – Minstrel In The Gallery
    Label: Chrysalis – CHR.1082, Chrysalis – CHR 1082
    Format: Vinyl, LP, Album
    Country: UK
    Released: 1975

    "The minstrel in the gallery
    Looked down upon the smiling faces
    He met the gazes observed the spaces
    Between the old men's cackle

    He brewed a song of love and hatred
    Oblique suggestions and he waited
    He polarised the pumpkin-eaters
    Static-humming panel-beaters

    Freshly day-glow'd factory cheaters
    Salaried and collar-scrubbing
    He titillated men of action
    Belly warming, hands still rubbing

    On the parts they never mention
    He pacified the nappy-suffering, infant-bleating
    One-line jokers, T.V. documentary makers
    Overfed and undertakers

    Sunday paper backgammon players
    Family-scarred and women-haters
    Then he called (and he called) the band down to the stage
    And he looked at all the friends he'd made"

    Listening is the act of aural discrimination and dissemination of sound, and accepting you get it wrong sometimes.

    It’s from the same era as ‘Thick as Brick’, ‘Passion Play’ & ‘War Child’ all big favourites of mine. ‘Minstrel in the Gallery’ is good musically and has that usual tongue in cheek lyrics, which can be thought provoking, it’s very good IMHO. Happy listening.

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    I never figured out that cover - seems like 3 totally different concepts mashed together.

    Although I suppose that describes their music too.
