Back when, over a year ago, Taylor @ t9g@comcast.net was trying to introduce himself to us when I veered his thread horribly off topic with a discussion of Jethro tull's Thick As A Brick.  Rather than add to that here is some new info on that 50th anniversary album.  And probably not new information but another discussion.  

Is that album an ambitious, genius progressive masterpiece?  Or is it a tongue-in-cheek self-indulgent parody?
