Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick [Part 1/5]

that is a beautiful photograph

And the oldest of the family is moving with authority.
Coming from across the sea, he challenges the son who puts him to the run.

Incase any of you were wondering "thick as a brick" is a vernacular expression that is common in england and means the american equivalent of "full of shit". This would indeed make sense considering Ian Anderson wrote this basically as joke trying to put down anything that was main stream. He did not intend for this to have a deep meaning. In the interview on the cd he does mention that he spent more time on the sleeve then the music. Regardless we are all here to enjoy it. Why argue?

PERIOD

hah~! all great art comes this way... when you aren't trying to be great!

very well put. u taught me something new. thanks im always open to new knowlegde.peace

Odd.

It is also an American expression meaning dumb as sh*t..

Debate all you want.... I just call it art and extreme briliance..... Whats in a name...
Thats like judging a book by it's cover in this case.

How about instead of this arguments that I have yet to find the reason for, someone talk about what the meaning of this song is.

Ummmm...guys....

Lengsel7 is right. "Thick As A Brick" is an expression. It means "dumb".
