Here's a song by him that helped restore my sanity more than 45 years ago.

1. I was obsessed with his album "The Secret Language of Birds" which came out in 2003.

I hope he can stay healthy and can avoid this horrible virus.

2. I hope he's staying inside, enjoying some coffee.

Hang in there, Ian!

Appropriate song for the pandemic...

I'm sitting on the corner feeling glad.
Got no money coming in but I can't be sad.
That was the best cup of coffee I ever had.
And I won't worry about a thing
Because we've got it made,
Here on the inside, outside so far away.

[Varaddem]

3. One of my favorite concert moment

We ran into somebody I knew, not a friend, whom I’m pretty sure was doing the review for his college paper. He let us know he hated the idea of the Minstral in the gallery tour.Reserved seating. Ian Anderson let us know he did not like playing to a concrete floor. So he invited everybody to come down to the floor.
We ran into the guy after the concert. I don’t know if he wrote this in his review but his words “I was right there man!He was sweating on me!

5. Fortunately, incurable doesn't mean he's going to succumb anytime soon.

[Aristus]

7. Exactly. It's not like cancer.

With appropriate treatment, and if he quits smoking, he can live with it for a significant period of time.

[Zorro]

6. Ironic

Aqualung is probably Tull's most popular album.

8. I have it, too

Actually, what I have is called "reactive lung disease" but all the symptoms are the same. Keep oxygen handy.
