"Aqualung" is a progressive rock album released by Jethro Tull. The album was released on March 19, 1971.

==About The Album==

Aqualung was one of the first albums to be recorded at Island Studios out in London. While they were recording, Led Zepplin was mixing their untitled fourth album. Aqualung was Jethro Tull's fourth studio album.

Side A begins with two sketchs, including some characters that are less than reputable (Aqualung and Cross Eyed Mary). Then, it includes two autobiographal tracks, both written by Ian Anderson. They are about visiting his father when he was chronically ill.

Side B is about being "Pro-God, Anti-Church". This is because, as it states many times on side B, having an organized religion can restrict somebody to worshipping God in a certain way, thereby not enhancing it.

==Cover==

The cover dipicts the title character, Aqualung, standing and eying something. The back cover shows Aqualung sitting on a corner. It was drawn by Burt Silverman. Although Silverman says that it was inspired by Anderson, Anderson denies this.

==Reception==

The album was 7th in Billboard Music Charts' North America.
The album was 4th in the UK Charts.
The song "Hymn 43" was 91st on Billboards Pop Singles chart.
The album was ranked 337th on Rolling Stones top 500 albums of all time.
This is Jethro Tull's most popular album.

==Quadraphonic==

This was one of two Jethro Tull albums released using quadraphonic sound (the other is ''War Child''). One difference between the actual album and between the quadraphonic version was that the song "Wind Up" was preformed in a higher key (this version is included in the re-release). Also, the song "Aqualung" has two riffs at the begining of it instead of just one in the quadraphonic version.

I would like to post the following to the Jesse Helms article after "Foreign Policy" but am locked out. I don't know why. {{unsigned|BertSchlossberg}}
: Editing is often turned off overnight (U.S. time), which may have been your problem, although that means that you shouldn't have been able to post here, so unless it was turned back on in the meantime, I can't explain it. Would you like to try it again? [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 08:47, 19 December 2007 (EST)

:: Right. The [[Jesse Helms]] entry is not locked.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 09:06, 19 December 2007 (EST)

==Senator Helms and the POW and KAL 007 Connection==

On December 5, 1991, Senator Helms wrote to Boris Yeltsin concerning U.S. servicemen who were POWs or MIAs, "The status of thousands and thousands of American servicemen who are held by Soviet and other Communist forces, and who were never repatriated after every major war this century, is of grave concern to the American people." Yeltsin would ultimately respond with a statement made on June 15, 1992, while being interviewed aboard his presidential jet on his way to the United States, "Our archives have shown that it is true — some of them were transferred to the territory of the U.S.S.R. and were kept in labor camps... We can only surmise that some of them may still be alive." On December 10, just five days after Senator Helms had written Yeltsin concerning American servicemen, he again wrote to Yeltsin, this time concerning KAL 007, "One of the greatest tragedies of the Cold War was the shoot-down of the Korean Airlines flight KAL-007 by the Armed Forces of what was then the Soviet Union on September 1, 1983. . . The KAL-007 tragedy was one of the most tense incidences of the entire Cold War. However, now that relations between our two nations have improved substantially, I believe that it is time to resolve the mysteries surrounding this event. Clearing the air on this issue could help further to improve relations." Yeltsin would ultimately respond on January 8, 1992 by handing over to the International Civil Aviation Organization what the Russians had for so many years denied possessing: the tapes of the KAL 007's "Black Box" (its Digital Flight Data Recorder and Cockpit Voice Recorder) [http://www.rescue007.org/docs/Is%20This%20the%20Final%20Word.pdf]

Concerning Stacy (3years) and Noelle (5 years) Grenfell [http://www.rescue007.org/grenfells.htm], passengers on KAL 007, Senator Helms, who was on sister flight KAL 015, also making its way to Seoul Korea, would write:

"I’ll never forget that night when that plane was just beside ours at Anchorage airport with two little girls and their parents.

I taught them, among other things, to say I love you in deaf language, and the last thing they did when they turned the corner was stick up their little hands and tell me they loved me.

I’ll never forget that, and I know you won’t."

==When only part of an article is accepted==
I recently posted an entry, [[F-105 Thunderchief]], and included a references section and a category, but in the final article, neither section shows up, although they are clearly present when the "Edit" button is clicked. Just now, this happened again with another entry I tried to make. What gives? Does the site only accept so much information in a new entry? --[[User:Frey|Frey]] 17:58, 27 February 2008 (EST)

==KAL 007 article on Main page==
I would like to propose having the article [[Korean Airlines Flight 007]] as a featured article on the Main page. Thanks.[[User:BertSchlossberg|BertSchlossberg]] 15:32, 1 March 2008 (EST)
(finally got it right!)

: I'd like to review it in detail and hear what others think about it. On its surface, without yet studying it, it appears to be a major work. Congratulations!--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 15:58, 1 March 2008 (EST)

==To Kill The Child/Leaving Beirut==

I just wrote an exteremly long and extensive artical about these two songs. Then, when I went to save the page, it said that it did not save it because there was a quote in their to explain about the song that contained a profanity. What gives? I thought that this website was supposed to educate people, yet people cannot be educated if they cannot know what the artical is talking about and what the proof is. {{unsigned|Std}}
: We have a profanity filter for good reason, but sometimes exceptions need to be made. You haven't supplied enough information for us to judge if this warrants an exception. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 22:47, 10 April 2008 (EDT)

What exactly are the exeptions that would get me the warrent?

'''Amused To Death''' is [[Roger Waters]] fifth [[studio album]] since leaving [[Pink Floyd]]. It was recorded between the years of 1988 and 1992. Like most other Waters works, it is a [[concept album]].

== Background ==

The album was inspired by the [[Neil Postman]] novel [[Amusing Ourselfs To Death]]. The album explores how people come to watch a lot of TV and how we are sucked into the mass media. It goes on to critisize the First Gulf War ("The Bravery Of Being Out Of Range" and "Perfect Sense"). It also talks about the protests for democracy in China in Tienamin Square ("Watching TV").

== Track Listing ==

1. The Ballard Of Bill Hubbard (4:20) 

2. What God Wants, Part I (6:00) 

3. Perfect Sense, Part I (4:16) 

4. Perfect Sense, Part II (2:50) 

5. The Bravery Of Being Out Of Range (4:43) 

6. Late Home Tonight, Part I (4:00)

Total Time-72:45

==BBC 1 ==

The [[BBC]] would not air the first single of the album, "What God Wants, Part I" because of it's "touchy" lyrics. Waters was outraged. The song "What God Wants" is a song that deals with what Waters claims to be the hypocracy of a dogmatic religion, when dealing with things such as materialism and war. He explains the religion as not having people come volunterally, but rather, due to submission. This song is also very confusing due to it's wording, with the subject of it's real topic up for interpritation.

== Charts ==

1. "Amused To Death"-UK, 8th Place (1992) 

2. "Amused To Death"-Billboard (North America), 21st Place (Billboard 200) 

3. "What God Wants, Part I"-Billboard (North America), 2nd Place (Billboard Mainstream Rock)

== Singles ==
