Old queers with young faces who remember your name, though you're a dead beat with tired feet; two ends that don't meet.
And he was too old to Rock'n'Roll but he was too young to die.
The hard road's end, the white god's-send is nearer everyday, in dying the old man says, Isn't it grand to be playing to the stand, dead or alive.

With straight As in the class of progressive rock, I would have to say that their grade was a B this time out.
It was a very nice gesture on Ian's part to dedicate this remastered version of the album to their short-lived bass player John Glascock, whom died suddenly of heart failure before he had a chance to go back into the studio to record another album.

This old Tull release was written during a transitional period for the band; among other things, Jeffrey Hammond had left and been replaced by John Glascock (who died tragically a few years later).
English art rockers Jethro Tull's ninth studio album Too Old To Rock 'n' Roll Too Young To Die was released in May of 1976 here in the US and in April, 1976 in the UK.
This theme is still relevant today as many from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s generations are trying to feel young again by listening to classic rock, old school metal and grunge on the radio.

For an exporting country that has little natural resources and a growing aging population to be Wall Street's consensus as one of the investment opportunities of the 2006 and beyond is, to put it politely, incomprehensible.

 Jethro Tull: Too old to Rock'n'roll: too young to die (Chrysalis Records Ltd., 1976.05.11)
Lyrical themes notwithstanding, Too Old to Rock 'N' Roll is a fine collection of independent rock songs that marked a return to the classic Tull style carved out on Aqualung and Benefit.
Ian Anderson reagierte mit Selbstironie: "Too old to Rock`n Roll too young to die", klingt auf den ersten Blick wie eine Abschieds-LP einer auf Mitgefühl heischenden Gruppe aus alten Tagen: Doch es war ein Fortschritt, mit geschicktem Understatement.

Too Old To Rock 'n' Roll: Too Young To Die (5:42)
Well, "Too old to rock 'n'roll..." represents to me this hard-to-find synthesis, and it's worthy to be added to every rock/pop/prog colletion.
The concept for this "Rock Opera", an aging rocker confronting his midlife crisis, might not have been about Ian Anderson and co., but they certainly were able to express the storyline well, in which any muddy spots were cleared by the comic strip that was printed with it.

Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll: Too Young to Die: Remastered
"Too Old to Rock'n Roll" is a concept album, telling the thought-provoking story about the old rocker, Ray Lomas, who had become too old to rock'n roll, but the again becomes hip, when the trends in music and fashion suddenly change.
Perhaps its too slavish to the story but theres the lack of the usual layers and puns in the lyrics.

 Jethro Tull Press: BBC Radio, March 1979 Pt.5
And really what Too Old To Rock 'n' Roll was about as an album was the fact that this would all happen again.
It's not generally known that when Too Old To Rock 'n' Roll was written, Ian had hoped that Adam might star in the stage version.
Too Old To Rock was not the most successful of Jethro Tull's albums, but 1977 saw the band returning to their previous level of chart success with the release of Songs From The Wood, and, as Ian sees it, it marks the return of another sort.

 Cook Computing : Too Old To Rock and Roll, Too Young to Die?
In fact the main problem I have at the moment is working in an environment which has too much legacy code and not enough movement towards new technologies (though at least I'm one of the few doing mostly.NET work).
but there are always new technologies coming along in the software world which are interesting not just because they are new but because of the way they address old problems in exciting new ways, and you can only really join in the excitement if you are implementing applications using the new technologies.
As for brain cells dying off, most of us have plenty to spare and anyway with experience you tend to be more efficient in your work, producing code which has a lower maintenance overhead.

 Daily Vault - July 21, 2004
In the life of every artist who has some true longevity behind them, there comes an album which is seen as their "fl sheep." It is the album that sells the worst, has at best one hit song on it, and becomes the object of scorn by fan and critic alike.
And, despite Anderson's recent denials that any of the materials were autobiographical, one can't help but wonder if the title track was meant to be a slam at anyone who thought that Tull, then nearing their 10th anniversary, no longer fit in the music scene.
While Too Old was not a success in 1976, the disc has proven to have great lasting power, and hardly sounds like it was recorded 28 years ago.

Readers of these pages should most certainly be familiar with the group, as they are undoubtedly among the most commercially successful progressive rock groups, having garnered 11 gold and platinum albums, as well as consistenly touring across the world to the present day.
The second misstep would occur with the next album, the lackluster Too Old to Rock n Roll, Too Young to Die, which is almost universally derided as one of the worst Tull albums of the time period.
Although "progressive rock" was pretty much over, thanks to the onslaught of punk, disco and new wave, Jethro Tull were never better on a musical level.

 Jethro Tull Press: NME, 8 May 1976
Old greaser hits the telly screen, goes through the weirds of being famous, becomes disillusioned with London, returns home, almost kills himself in a motor bike accident, recovers, and the Once Upon A Time ending is he becomes famous and popular and loved.
Too Old To Rock 'N' Roll: Too Young To Die it's called, and the story begins in the cartoon strip on the sleeve gatefold.
And perhaps, just perhaps, the title track is really a crystallisation of Anderson's thoughts on the subject, using the image of the old rocker merely to represent himself: how he falls from critical favour for unreasonable reasons as he sees it (A Passion Play) but with the power to return for similarly unreasonable reasons.

Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
True, the Brits have been purveying their brand of progressive rock 'n' folk, led by the humor and flute of lead singer Ian Anderson for more than 25 years, but they beat anyone to the punch when it comes to self-deprecating age jokes.
If eclectic (when was the last time a rock band used a xylophone live?), Anderson's humorous mien and comments (he even leapt off the stage and served the audience wine) worked well, even if his voice was not in top shape.

Too Old To Rock N Roll Too You
It was originally conceived as a soundtrack album to a planned stage musical about an aging rocker in his late 50's named Ray Lomas (whose story is told somewhat by the amusing comic strip included inside the album, AND whose face has a passing resemblance to Tull leader Ian Anderson).
For that matter, I don't think the problem with THIS record is that it's too "light"; I think, rather, that it's too devoid of content (I do NOT like "Too Old to Rock and Roll, Too Young to Die").

I think I meant "respected" -- I am old enough to remember when old people were actually considered more responsible and respectable than younger people.
Somewhere in the evolution of Tull, they (meaning Ian Anderson) began to take themselves too, too seriously, and they ceased to be of musical interest after that point.

Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll - Too Young to Die?
It sounds like a return to the sounds of old, particularly the period between 1969 and 1971.
Anderson explained it saying that it happened as a result of him "trying to act like a 20 year old." This comment probably referred to the fact that he tried to jump high in a recent concert in Lima, Peru, and as a result broke his leg.

 PROGRESSIVEWORLD.NET: REVIEWS BY JOHN "BOBO" BOLLENBERG
Indeed, “Too Old To Rock’n Roll, Too Young To Die”, “Heavy Horses” and “Minstrel In The Gallery” have all been moulded in the three to four minute bracket serving almost as "teasers" for the actual, "real" recordings.
In the "old" days, when vinyl reigned our cupboards, the listener could chose whether he/she would play all of the album or only one side.
With every "greatest hits" package now also sporting unreleased outtakes (the main reason for them never to be released in the first place was because they were not good enough!), the average playing time is between 60 and 70 minutes, which sometimes is way too long to digest in one single go.

Although Jethro Tull was still in its heyday in 1976, Ian Anderson must have sensed that he could not remain a rock star forever.
Anderson originally intended the linked songs on TOO OLD TO ROCK 'N' ROLL to form the basis of a musical based on the life of an aging rocker not unlike himself.
The record alternates between folk and rock as it chronicles Lomax's struggles to exist outside a rock framework.
