Jethro Tull: An Interview with Ian Anderson
Steven Rosen, Circus, 9 December 1975
IAN ANDERSON is not fond of the press; in fact, he dislikes that body intensely. Interviews have misquoted him, misrepresented him and manhandled him. In a line from 'Baker Street Muse' (a song from the new Minstrel In The Gallery album) he sings, "I have no time for Time or Rolling Stone," and one must wonder why he consented to this conversation at all.
