When I think about Jethro Tull, which is not often to never, I think, English prog-rock, pompous and flute. Flute, flute, flute, flute, flute, flute, flute; what an odd non-onomatopoeia, and when repeated over and over, odder and less of an onomatopoeia.

Things to know about Jethro Tull:

• My father’s name is Bon Gul Koo.
• Jethro Tull (1674-1741) was a viscount and agriculturist who helped create the British Agricultural Revolution, very similar to the Industrial Revolution, but more farm-y and less casualties.
• Ian Anderson, often mistaken for Jethro Tull, plays the flute in a mantis/grasshopper position.
• My best friend in grade school looked at our mail and saw Mr. Bon Gul Koo and started singing, “Bon Gul in the jungle.”
