And welcome once again to my weekly attempt to drive my readers away.

This week I bring you a song whose complexity, depth and maturity, despite it’s mellowness, just fascinates the living heck out of me. When I was younger (much, much younger) the ‘Thick as a Brick’ album was like unto a god to me in it’s entirety… I blasted down the roads of Southern California in my mustang blaring ‘Locomotive Breath’ at max volume, chuckling at the wittiness of ‘One White Duck_0^10=nothing at all’. Yes, I was a Jethro Tull fan, and when Tull beat Metallica in the awards that infamous year, I laughed and laughed and laughed.

Yes, much has changed in the years that have followed, but this one song still amazes me. And so, every week when Karazhan begins, I queue it up out of nostalgia, as we tromp down the stables towards Midnight, killing the Heavy Horses as we go.

For those few of you whom I have not chased away with ym musical craziness… I hope you enjoy.

If you’re VERY nice, I’ll share ‘Broadsword’ and ‘Cold Wind to Valhalla’ with you later today.
