Fuck it! I wanna see her recreate her "Bird up!"-bit with that flute...
ToSisPoS
What’s the problem? Not like she’s a mermaid or something.

You.... don't have music education?
DreamingOfDistantShores
Don't know shit about flutes, only know a moderate amount about its former owner, don't know who Lizzo is, but I know all I need to about
DreamingOfDistantShores
the idiots upset by her playing it, and the things I know about them? They ain't good things, my friends.
EllisHobbs
Sounds like a plan.
Mindshard
Republicans are geniuses. They're always world class experts on things they only found out exists minutes earlier. War, disease, music...
HermeneuticalQuandary
"your vaccine done gave me the rona because of all yer spike protein powders. It had nothing to do with the biker rally I was at!"
Mindshard
God I'm so tired of it. They all heard "spike protein" once and think that IS the virus...
hwatL4bloopy
I did do instrument repair in high school and college including flutes. I am not an expert.

Curator: Careful with that Lizzo, it's extremely fragile.
Lizzo: I know, I've dealt with conservatives before.
thekingandqueenofcheese
I saw Lizzo play like in 2016 and she was playing that flute amazingly

Betsy DeVos would like a word

I just stopped by to say that Betsy DeVos can go suck a lemon. Cheers.
JacksCookieLifter
My first thought was “She can suck a….” then I saw your comment.

Some white guy played it 20 years ago, and nobody batted an eye.

I saw that episode of Star Trek: TNG … I HEAR A FLUTE, I GET SAD

"The Inner Light." My second favorite after "Darmok."
Ghostwish
I honestly would have never known about the flute if not for the butthurt racists.
boomfish
I honestly would have never known about Lizzo if not for the butthurt racists.
TheElootist
Who tf is Lizzo?
maplealmond
From context I've learned that she's black and she plays the flute.
Jacksmashsteel
I did not know Taylor Swift played old Ben's piano until today. Heck, I didn't know she played any instruments
ReverseSyzygy
butthurt racists would never have known if not for their demagogues telling them to be butthurt about something they also didn't know about
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
I'm 99% sure less than 250 Americans were aware this flute existed until someone had the gall to play it while being black.
BennyGaga
I know about Jebediah Springfield's silver tongue.

Very cromulent of you to say so

That had to hilarious to do for her
daranthered
The instruments exhibit at the Library of Congress is one of the more interesting collections it has. There are documentaries on Youtube.
HiddenSanity
Exactly, they let expert musicians play a bit on preserved instruments somewhat regularly, almost never hear about it until she's black.

A modern educator using pop culture to relate to the youth? Well I never! *clutches pearls*
theshinobi23
That's amazing. I love it.
teardropivyyearofthetiger
If my band camp picked songs like this I would have continued beyond the THEME FROM MASH (for 10 year olds)
teardropivyyearofthetiger
It’s literally called Suicide is Painless
lljkstonefish
yeah, the film and the TV show were pretty different. "It turns out I'm gay, so I'm gonna kill myself publicly." "yep, go for it."
lljkstonefish
I saw it like 20 years ago, but that's how I remember it anyway. Surreal.
BennyGaga
My favorite karaoke mood killer.

"why didn't Jethro Tull get to play this flute?" -faux news for the next 2 weeks.
godzilladc
Because Herbie Mann said so.
Bunnies007
*Ian Anderson*
CGWN
Do we know for certain he didn't?
HoneyBadgersAreBadAsses
No, their problem is because she is black. Jethro Tull is all white.
BennyGaga

Still alive?

echosierra775
I got and appreciated your reply.
BennyGaga
The black album didn't appreciate it.
echosierra775
No, it certainly didnt.
lljkstonefish
It doesn't get a say.
Bmgm4u
You may mean Ian Anderson, but WTF do I Know
BennyGaga
Kompromatic
Because as a dead 19th-century agronomist and farming equipment inventor, he doesn't play the flute
echosierra775
Or, at least anymore.
Kompromatic
Well no -- as an agronomist and farming equipment inventor, he was not a musician and remains thus not to this day.
echosierra775
Lol. Thank you.
Kompromatic
But Ian Anderson was once a trout farm owner, so there's that
BallsackHippo
Oi! 18th-century agriculturist.
Kompromatic
17-18th as it turns out. Way tf back there
dabrick31
Honestly though why shouldn’t he get to
Caliban1972
Because he died in 1741...and he was British. There is a modern day band named after him - also British. Not sure any play the flute.
BennyGaga
If you heard ten seconds of thier music: That last sentence sounds pretty dumb.
Caliban1972
I haven't. But thank you for being an asshole. Much appreciated.
BennyGaga
First time on the internets?
esgelrothion
Ian Anderson most certainly does.
dukegonzo
Even has an Iconic pose while playing. Take that Lizzo!
Imgerruinedimger
Ian Anderson.
BennyGaga
Do you think Jethro Tull is an person?
wagnus
He's an persons
BennyGaga
You got me! I'm super embarrassed.
keys79
By the way, which one’s Pink?
glenlochie
Ian Anderson is a person who bought into Jethro Tull's product line (and plays one he'll of a flute even tho he never had lessons.)
Crispyock
Owen Wilson from Armageddon quote
dabrick31
There’s an inside joke that I don’t know in here
BennyGaga
The band ”Jethro Tull ” doesn't have anyone in the band named that. But they have a famous flute in a Rock scenario.
