In October, Indiana University Press will publish a dissertation by Tim Smolko, entitled Jethro Tull’s Thick as a Brick and A Passion Play: Inside Two Long Songs. Apparently, Smolko “discusses the band’s influence on popular culture and why many consider Thick as a Brick and A Passion Play to be two of the greatest concept albums in rock history.”

Sounds interesting. Any Progarchists up for reviewing it?
