And here after a few days to mull it over, here’s my response to AP voluminous report on the Napalm Girl Controversy last week. The camera angle is quite downplayed but definitely a key finding and favourable to the documentary makers with whom I am involved on this story.

In the David Crosby book, 'Long Time Gone' he claims that The New Christy Minstrels had at least two touring bands at the height of their fame but that band is a bit of an outlier, more synonymous with a touring symphony orchestra. It's one of the reasons CSN were so named - you couldn't fire a member and carry on. Nearer to home, my home anyway, is the curious case of Jethro Tull. They have undergone numerous personnel changes in their 50 odd years of existence and as a fan I find Ian Anderson…
As a longtime fellow Tull fan (on them since '68's "This Was" release--I was 13; and, I've seen them about 1/2-dozen times, mostly in the early-'70s), my dos centavos: Generally speaking, Tull has always been Ian's baby, from not only a PR standpoint (silhouette of him playing flute), but musically. If, literally, every living track was written by him (and I haven't checked to verify), Ian can be Tull a little more (if not a lot more) than a gaggle of cats who used to be Tull, and now tour sans Ian, IMO.
I saw Ian in a little club in Austin, TX just shy of a decade ago, and I'm pretty sure he wasn't billed as "Jethro Tull" (but, I can't recall)..."Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull"? More probable.
As Eddie Trunk has always said, make sure you know who'll be on stage when you buy your ticket. That should be the end of it. We can debate, all day, this, that, and the other regarding "artistic merits"....but, as we're decades, now, into the "rock era," we shoulda seen this day coming, at least to some degree, with EVERY band/act/artist. Be aware, consumer....period.
