15/15 As an ex-hippie, I knew 15 because, as Sean said, he shares a name with a guy who sang a song about sunshine.
Ah, but here's the ultimate trivia question:

Who was Jethro Tull, for whom the band was named?

As a huge Jethro Tull fan who took up the flute just to learn how to play Minstrel in the Gallery (and it remains about the only think I can competently play without sheet music), I can answer that without even a peek at Wikipedia -- Jethro Tull was an English farmer of the 18th C. who is credited with inventing the horse-drawn plow and revolutionizing agriculture.

A better rock 'n roll question is this: For what was the band Oingo Boingo (originally The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo) named?

Jethro Tull didn't invent the horse drawn plow, he invented the seed drill (and later a horse drawn version of that).

LOVE Tull. I've seen them several times. One huge regret is not getting to see them when they opened for Led Zeppelin. What a great show that must have been.
