Jethro Tull - Nothing Is Easy

The first time I heard this, I was driving in my car. Without any intention, I noticed I was driving faster.

I read that the band changed their name after every gig in a pub, until they were asked to play again. They stuck with that last name, Jethro Tull. So I heard.

And, apparently true. Ian Anderson confirmed it & also wished the pub residency they got with that name had come sooner under a cooler name.
But, before they could even consider a name change they started making waves, so they never changed it.
