Irony: when the opposite of what is expected happens.
There were a few attempts to get me into Tull, but IA scared me. Seriously.
He looked like the type of guy that I could lose a girlfriend/wife to.
OM sounded like magic to me. It was strange and yet beautiful. But it wasn't
enough for me to set aside the "alpha male" "instinct" that controlled my youth. So I decided that I could live without it.
The following summer, I ended up working at a camp for rich kids. A place where
rich people send their kids to get rid of them for a couple of months. I wasn't actually a counselor, though, so I spent every evening alone in the cabin while everyone else was outside having fun. Well, at least I thought I was alone.
One of the kids had brought along a stereo and a few CDs. One night, I was looking
through them and found Aqualung. And, of course, how could anyone not be intrigued by the front cover. So I thought, what the hell, let's hear it. What really sold me was all the "akoostick" guitar playing. There was just something about the way he made it sound. That's all I remember, really, was just being amazed at all these great "akoostick" guitar songs.
And that was the day I "officially 'became' " a Tullee.
And now... the twain it won't stop goin NO WAY 2 Slow Down.
