First off, Id like to thank my wonderful wife, joanna, for encouraging me, editing me, and acclimating her ears to the din of loud electric guitars and drums. I owe so much to you and I love you!
Id also like to thank:
My editors at Indiana University Press, Raina Polivka and Darja Malcolm-Clarke, along with series editors Felicia Miyakawa, and Jeffrey Magee. Thanks also to Jill R. Hughes for an excellent copyedit.
Ian Anderson, who granted me a phone interview, wrote the foreword, and gave me permission to include the lyrics of the two songs and scans of the album covers in the book. Thanks to all the members of Jethro Tull, past and present, for forty-five years of superb and inspiring music. Thanks also to Anne Leighton and Jenny Hughes at Jethro Tull management, and Julie McDowell at Hal Leonard, for their assistance with various details of the book.
The music professors at the University of Georgia, especially Dr. David Haas, Dr. David Schiller, and Dr. Leonard Ball. Special thanks to Dr. Robert Greenberg for his Teaching Company lectures and to Dr. Stephen Valdez, rock scholar extraordinaire and all-around cool guy.
UGA Library colleagues Neil Hughes, Kelly Holt, and Gil Head for their input, encouragement, and support.
My small-town parents, who encouraged me to pursue big-city dreams. My parents-in-law, Rich and Deb Hastings, for providing a piano upon which I picked out many a Tull melody.
Friends who have greatly inspired me, both in music and life in general: Dan Cush, Brent and Molly Stater, Sal Manzella, and my church families at Grace Orthodox Presbyterian Church in Pittsburgh and University Church in Athens, whom I stand beside in praise of our Savior.
Friends and colleagues who have given me good advice: Deane Root, Kathy Miller Haines, Jim Cassaro, Jessica Sternfeld, Alan Shockley, Kevin Holm-Hudson, and Ed Macan.
Jerry Weber, owner of Jerrys Records in Pittsburgh, on whose shelves one can always find a pristine copy of Thick as a Brick, complete with newspaper.
Karen Paddison, who first introduced me to Monty Pythons Flying Circus and various other British eccentricities.
Andrew Jackson (Jethro Tull Press), Jan Voorbij (Cup of Wonder), and Neil Thomason (Ministry of Information) for their well-designed, accurate, and exhaustive websites on Jethro Tull. Greg Russo, David Rees, and Scott Allen Nollen for their excellent biographies of the band. Special thanks to Blackpool rock historian Pete Shelton.
Lastly, thanks to our five-year-old twins, Ian and Elanor, who, when they are teenagers, will probably introduce me to their friends in this manner: This is my dad. He likes to listen to forty-five-minute rock songs (groan).
Except where indicated, all the musical examples in the book are my own transcriptions of the music from the remixed CD of Thick as a Brick (Chrysalis Records 5099970461923, 2012) and the remastered CD of A Passion Play (Chrysalis Records 7243 5 81569 0 4, 2003).
Thanks to Ian Anderson, BMG/Chrysalis, and Hal Leonard for permission to include the complete lyrics in the book.

SIDE 1
Vocal 1 : AABA (last A section is altered) (0:003:01)
Really dont mind if you sit this one out. | a |
My words but a whisper your deafness a SHOUT. | a |
I may make you feel but I cant make you think. | b |
Your sperms in the gutter your loves in the sink. | b |
So you ride yourselves over the fields | c |
And you make all your animal deals | c |
And your wise men dont know how it feels | c |
To be thick as a brick. | d |
And the sand-castle virtues are all swept away | e |
In the tidal destruction the moral melee. | e |
The elastic retreat rings the close of play | e |
As the last wave uncovers the newfangled way. | e |
But your new shoes are worn at the heels | c |
And your suntan does rapidly peel | c |
And your wise men dont know how it feels | c |
To be thick as a brick. | d |
And the love that I feel is so far away: | e |
Im a bad dream that I just had today | e |
And you shake your head and say its a shame. | f |
Spin me back down the years and the days of my youth. | g |
Draw the lace and black curtains and shut out the whole truth. | g |
Spin me down the long ages: let them sing the song. | h |
Vocal 2 : through-composed (3:013:36)
See there! A son is born | a |
And we pronounce him fit to fight. | b |
There are black-heads on his shoulders, | c |
And he pees himself in the night. | b |
Well make a man of him | d |
Put him to a trade | e |
Teach him to play Monopoly | f |
And how to sing in the rain. | e |
Instrumental passage 1 (3:366:08)
Vocal 3 Part 1 : verse-chorus (6:087:15)
The Poet and the painter casting shadows on the water | a |
As the sun plays on the infantry returning from the sea. | b |
The do-er and the thinker: no allowance for the other | a |
As the failing light illuminates the mercenarys creed. | b |
The home fire burning: the kettle almost boiling | c |
But the master of the house is far away. | d |
The horses stamping their warm breath clouding | c |
In the sharp and frosty morning of the day. | d |
And the poet lifts his pen while the soldier sheaths his sword. | e |
And the youngest of the family | f |
