Gerald Bostock
Gerald Bostock is a fictional character originally created by Ian Anderson for his band Jethro Tull's 1972 concept album, ''Thick as a Brick''; Bostock is credited with writing the lyrics to the album (though Anderson in fact authored them himself).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Thick as a Brick )〕 Bostock is also the focus of Anderson's 2012 solo album, ''Thick as a Brick 2: Whatever Happened to Gerald Bostock?'', as well as the purported lyricist for Anderson's 2014 solo album ''Homo Erraticus''.
==''Thick as a Brick''==
Bostock's first appearance is on the original cover art and packaging of the album ''Thick as a Brick'', which is designed to look like a small West Country village periodical (that actually folds out into a full-length newspaper with 12 pages), entitled the ''St. Cleve Chronicle & Linwell Advertiser''. The front-page story of ''Thick as a Bricks newspaper cover—dated Friday, January 7, 1972—describes the 8-year-old Gerald "Little Milton" Bostock as the intellectually exceptional son of David and Daphne Bostock of No. 6 Pollitt Close, St. Cleve, who together moved there as a family four years prior from Manchester. Bostock is described as a child prodigy who recently received an award for his epic poem, "Thick as a Brick", from the Society of Literary Advancement and Gestation (SLAG). The article focuses on the fact that this award was revoked after Bostock read the poem aloud along with the offensive word "g__r" during a BBC television broadcast and because of doubts about his psychological stability voiced in hundreds of threats and protests from the public. The paper pays respect to Bostock's work by displaying his "poem" in its entirety and notes that Jethro Tull has decided to use the poem as the lyrical centrepiece of their new album. (The album is even reviewed in the paper by the equally fictitious Julian Stone-Mason: a pseudonym of Ian Anderson.)
On the inside cover of the LP (the first page of the "newspaper") there is an additional article entitled "Little Milton in Schoolgirl Pregnancy Row", which talks about a 14-year-old girl named Julia Fealey (pictured on the front cover to Gerald's left), who blames her recent pregnancy on Bostock. The report continues to state that her doctor claims that the girl "was obviously lying to protect the real father."
