Another sad tale, hopefully Ian can make plans and peace with the world

We're reading more and more of these lately, but this hits hard. I have been a Tull fan since the 60's. There are many people that I hope outlive me, Ian Anderson is one of them (Dylan is another). I'm glad to know that his demise is not imminent, although he's struggling. Despite reading this, I'm hoping he lives comfortably for many more years. 

As long as he social distances.

I know exactly what he is going through, was diagnosed with level 3, out of 4 COPD, 6 years ago. While it certainly limits my activity, life is still good and very much enjoyable. Enjoy the music, I know I do and remember, non of us are getting out alive.

Number one Tull fan here. Ian has always been a bit different in more ways than one. When I read about him dumping Martin Barre like a hot rock a while back and what Martin had said about it, I thought he’s really flipped his lid. Ian stated that Tull had runs it’s course. Perhaps the COPD is the real reason. We all handle things differently. Wishing Ian the best.

I had my lungs cooked, behind a confined space tank entry. I actually breathed out fire, in the space. It was a water reactive environment.
The guy that checked, tested only for O2, flammable, and combustible
40 years ago. No water reactive..

Needless to say my smoking days were over. COPD for over 40 years...It's not a death sentence, but it will scare the heck out of you.

Took me a couple years to really get my breath back. 65 years old now, I got a few left in the tank.. I think.. LOL 

I wish, hope and encourage them all, keep on going.
After all what's the alternative? Toot Toot!!!

Respectfully, and with Regard
