Title: Some guy out of Jethro Tull has had a sex change....
Post by: Krustabi on 26 January, 2004, 04:46:52 PM
Apparently, David Palmer from Jethro Tull has become a woman. As soon as I heard this news I spent half an hour standing on one leg, pretending to play the flute.

Well?...

That really pissed me off.
I saw the Evening Standard headline-posters on Friday evening all reading "ROCK STAR HAS SEX CHANGE" and didn't find out who it was until yesterday.
Major disappointment, "Some guy out of Jethro Tull"? How dull.

I had to stop my Dad from digging out all his Jethro Tull records and subjecting his children to them...

Who would you have liked it to be?

I just assumed it was David Bowie and didn't bother buying the paper.

"Rod Stewart becomes Ruby Stewart Shock!"

Now that's a headline.

Rock Star does imply someone who is internationally famous and fairly current.  Not some folk rock has been who hasnt had a hit or even a high selling album in 15 years*......

*- Im being generous here, last hit?  1974?

What about that bloke from Dead or Alive? He went from man to woman to strange, spongey hosepipe-esque object sdince the 80's.

That's fine, but don't take drumming lessons from Judas Priest.

Just go and buy "Broadsword and the Beast"

Great Ian Livingston double cover and some decent tunes.

Slips, exactly!

I was hoping for someone a bit more ROCK STARish.

Jack White maybe?
Or what about PJ Harvey becoming a man?

It could be Bruce Dickinson, it doesnt have to be someone I like.  Just someone who people uner the age of 25* might recognise????

My brother and sister think I'm very small
But I'm growing a bit every day, every day

And when I'll be big
I'll be good at the games that they say I'm too little to play

My brother and sister are bigger than me
But I'll keep on growing and then they'll see
That I can do everything all on my own
They won't have to help me because I'll have grown

I'll be able to do whatever they do
Because I'm growing a bit every day, every day, every day, every day...

Arrgh!  Going round my head all day today...

We live in a greedy little world
That teaches every little boy and girl
To earn as much as they can possibly
Then turn around and
Spend it foolishly
We've created us a credit card mess
We spend the money we don't possess
Our religion is to go and blow it all
So it's shoppin' every Sunday at the mall

All we ever want is more
A lot more than we had before
So take me to the nearest store

Can you hear it ring
It makes you wanna sing
It's such a beautiful thing--Ka-ching!
Lots of diamond rings
The happiness it brings
You'll live like a king
With lots of money and things

When you're broke go and get a loan
Take out another mortgage on your home
Consolidate so you can afford
To go and spend some more when you get bored

All we ever want is more
A lot more than we had before
So take me to the nearest store

Can you hear it ring
It makes you wanna sing
It's such a beautiful thing--Ka-ching!
Lots of diamond rings
The happiness it brings
You'll live like a king
With lots of money and things

Let's swing
Dig deeper in your pocket
Oh, yeah, ha
Come on I know you've got it
Dig deeper in your wallet
Oh

All we ever want is more
A lot more than we had before
So take me to the nearest store

Can you hear it ring
It makes you wanna sing
It's such a beautiful thing--Ka-ching!
Lots of diamond rings
The happiness it brings
You'll live like a king
With lots of money and things

Can you hear it ring
It makes you wanna sing
You'll live like a king
With lots of money and things
Ka-ching!

"Sweet dreams are made of these..."

Yes, yes, you didn't mean to post this on the "Some guy out of Jethro Tull has had a sex change..." thread, we know, we know.

Hmmm...

Hmmmm... could we be seeing the emergence of a separate intelligence within the messageboard mainframe?

It's finally got so bored of listening to our crap that it likes to randomly swap a few messages round.  And when it sees a good opportunity ("sweet dreams..."), it even makes deliberate jokes - the sign of the highest forms of intelligence!

The board's alive...

What about that bloke from Dead or Alive? He went from man to woman to strange, spongey hosepipe-esque object

I've a distinct feeling that he bypassed 'woman' altogether and went for the Gerry Anderson look straight from blokedom.
