Jethro Tull At 40 - A Conversation With Ian Anderson

His stage persona includes wearing a do-rag and standing on one foot while performing. But the world's best known (and very nearly only) rock flutist has a serious side, too.

My conversation with Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson begins with the status of a new Tull album, and ends with a warning about overpopulation.
