Surprise - E-mails to Ian


Ever wonder what other people e-mail Ian via this website? Ever wonder how he replies?

Well, here's Ian's selection of a few highlights just over the last month. Perhaps some may suggest a few too many glasses emptied of sundown potion, placed not so lightly near velvet elbows, before composing a message on the wall?

Ian's replies are in brown.

Hi Mr. Anderson,

I don't mean to bug you, but do you know a guy named Mouse from Arizona?

Symbolism...end of concerts

Date:

From:    (Rik Dahlstrom)

Dear E,

For over 25 years I have attended 20 or so Tull concerts, walking away with
some of my favorite memories.  Ian, the band called Jethro Tull is truly a
legend that is very special and will grow as the years roll on.

My question is this, at the end of the concerts you push out on to the crowd
large pink balloons. The crowd enjoys the activity pushing and jumping for
joy.  It came to me that these balloons may symbolize life, or an embryo and
the crowd is the sperm.  The breaking of the pink embryo is fertilization.
So sybolic in nature the end of the "Passion Play" of the concert.  I have
seen many artists over the years, but in my opinion, Jethro Tull shows stand
out as some of the very best tock & roll has ever seen or ever will. I look
forward to traveling to the next venue to experience the thrills Tull gives
us.

I know you receive thousands of messages a week, but would you mind telling
me if this is how you see it also.

Thank you for being such a wonderful person, I hope all is well with you,
Shonna and the children.


All the Best,

Rik

Dear Rik,

The way I see it is this:

Many years ago, I bought a huge lot of discounted balloons which I am still getting rid of.

I toss them out into the audience at the end of the show to take their attention away from me since I am sweaty, a bit fat and balding.

Regards,

IA
