Last time we sort of did the history about this record, and tonight we shall deal with the first side of the album. It is quite complex, and is just one long song called "Thick as a Brick Part I". Obviously, the second side, to be covered next time, is called "Thick as a Brick Part II". Here is how I suggest that you read this blog.
Open a second entry of this in a new tab (if you are using Firefox or other browsers that support multiple tabs). If not, just open a second browser window. Use the second one to play the music, and I will give you prompts when to go back the the first one for discussion. I believe that will be the most efficient way to cover one long (22 minutes, forty seconds) bit of music. I am going to break it into chunks at what I deem to be different songs.
