TIL - Jethro Tull (the band’s namesake) was an English agriculturist who sparked the British Agricultural Revolution by perfecting a horse-drawn drill in 1701, that sowed seeds in neat rows, for easier harvest

#alt4you A grayscale image of a painted portrait. A middle-aged man in white wig stands as if strolling by, turning to look at you.

He wears white ascot and lacy shirt under an 8-button velvet or leather coat. Buttons around the elbow join sleeve halves.

His left hand rests familiarly on the pommel of a sheathed sword, while his right points down, palm toward the viewer in slight query. His eyes reflect his intelligence and his mouth hides the hint of a smile.
so when was he sitting on a park bench, eyeing little girls with bad intent?
I'm wondering if the idea was really his or whether he's taken credit for something his daughter or an employee thought up ... Just wondering, since we hear increasingly about such cases of patron privilege...
Yep, early on the band was not good enough to get booked twice if they used the same name, so they blew through an essentially random sequence of names. When they finally started to be good enough that venues wanted them to return, they were on "Jethro Tull".
