Some guy out of Jethro Tull has had a sex change....

[Krustabi]

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?...

[Oddboy]

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.

[Krustabi]

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

[Dudley]

Who would you have liked it to be?

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

[Mr C]

"Rod Stewart becomes Ruby Stewart Shock!"

Now that's a headline.

[Slippery PD]

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*......

Yer Slips

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

[JayzusB.Christ]

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.

[The Enigmatic Dr X]

Just go and buy "Broadsword and the Beast"

Great Ian Livingston double cover and some decent tunes.

[Oddboy]

Slips, exactly!

I was hoping for someone a bit more ROCK STARish.

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

[Slippery PD]

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

Yer Slips

* - OK so now all the 25YO will come and say they know......

[Quirkafleeg]

PJ Harvey is a man.

[Mikey]

So that explains her strange allure...

[House of Usher]

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...

[House of Usher]

Wrong thread. How...?
