Legit rock band or a novely act with a flute?

Just saw they are on the "Tunica circuit" in a month or so.

How could a band that sings these lyrics not be kick-ass?

In the shuffling madess
of the locomotive breath,
runs the all-time loser,
headlong to his death.
He feels the piston scraping --
steam breaking on his brow --
old Charlie stole the handle and
the train won't stop going --
no way to slow down.
He sees his children jumping off
at the stations -- one by one.
His woman and his best friend --
in bed and having fun.
He's crawling down the corridor
on his hands and knees --
old Charlie stole the handle and
the train won't stop going --
no way to slow down.
He hears the silence howling --
catches angels as they fall.
And the all-time winner
has got him by the balls.
He picks up Gideons Bible --
open at page one --
old Charlie stole the handle and
the train won't stop going --
no way to slow down.

Great band. This thread caused me to listen to Aqualung on the way in to work, and reminisce about seeing them at the SF Civic Auditorium many years ago. It was funny riding BART after the show - bunch of broke college kids, the old-hippie-burnout Tull fans, and the yuppies fresh out of Les Mis. Not much conversation going on there...

Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin. Not Jethro Tull

Apparently he invented the seed drill... that and the flute solo.
