Jethro Tull Album

Concerning “Grammys: The Good, the Bad, the Forgettable” (Feb. 27):

Why is Robert Hilburn so impressed with rock group Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich and his comment that “the first thing we’ve got to do, obviously, is thank Jethro Tull for not putting out an album this year”? Hilburn and Ulrich both fail to realize the most obvious fact of all--Jethro Tull did indeed put out an album this year. It is called “Catfish Rising.” (Really well informed for a music critic, aren’t you, Bob?)
