EPISODE SUMMARY:
There are many reasons a band, album or song can be considered a classic. It might be a certain universal appeal, or an inextricable association with a particular moment in history. In the case of British prog rockers Jethro Tull's 1971 album Aqualung, it's the wholly unique combination of blues, funk, heavy metal and flute. That's right, flute. It's this one of a kind sound that brought comedians Big Jay Oakerson and the Sklar Brothers together at the 2021 Moontower Comedy Festival to talk about this strangely beautiful collection of music, and also possibly go on a quest.
