Ian Anderson appears. Jumping into
the music, he kicks and he prances, his
gaant frame radiating a wizened energy as
he flashes a lewd smile to the audience.
As if on cue, the six-thousand-odd
attendants of this duke of debauchery
willingly erupt with a wave of cheers,
screams and applause, which he accepts
with an ironic, almost diabolic leer.
Abandoning his rags of other days for
a pair of tights, high boots, doublet and
ornate codpiece, Anderson struts about
the stage, his body writhing with
accustomed fluidity in time to the music.
The masses, by now locked into
Anderson's hypnotic spell, absorb his
razor-sharp enunciation and raise a Greek
chorus of syncophantic hosannas at the
end of each selection. For them, he is the
prince of air and darkness, a creature
above the ground, and as rock group
Jethro Tull spits out Anderson's music,
the jaded audience strains to capture a bit
of the ascetic pale fire that wells in his
eyes. , . "
