  "account": "On February 21st, 1741, Jethro Tull, a pioneer of agriculture, passed away after contributing significantly to progress in farming. His name, however, would not be associated with agriculture for another 226 years. In 1700, Tull invented the horse-drawn seed drill, a device that would revolutionize agriculture. Neither Tull nor the horses pulling the drill knew their invention would be remembered so long after his death. He lived during a time when Progressive Rock and Jazz-Rock had not yet been invented. Jethro Tull, the band, was formed in 1967 by Ian Anderson, a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, composer, and producer, along with three other musicians. Anderson, who plays the flute, is unique among rock musicians as he is one of the few who incorporates this instrument into their music. Ian Anderson has been touring with Jethro Tull for 59 years after the band was founded when he was just 20 years old. He will be performing in Germany, specifically in Berlin on November 5th, 2026, Magdeburg on November 6th, and Bonn on December 18th. The tour will continue in the summer of 2027, including Hamburg, Bielefeld, Stuttgart, Zurich, Vienna, Bregenz, and Linz. Despite Tull being a 79-year-old rock musician, it is not unusual for musicians in this age bracket to continue touring, as evidenced by other bands such as The Rolling Stones, Manfred Mann, Bob Dylan, and Barry Manilow.",
  "summary": "One of the most unique Rock bands on this planet is one of the oldest ones as well. Jethro Tull have been active, with the exception of little breaks, since 1967. And they are getting ready for a European tour.",
