"Roll Yer Own" and Gloria Hunniford

"Roll Yer Own" is a song about female masturbation. Back in 1991, the year the album was published, Ian Anderson had a guest appearance in an American Radio Show called Upclose. This show has been recorded and is published on CD (limited edition). During the show Ian said that he had been in a very embarrassing position a few weeks before when he was doing a BBC Radio 2 show on a radio channel that is, according to Ian, "more aimed at, dare I say — and I hate to say the word — housewives".

Gloria Hunniford, host of the show, didn't want to play "This Is Not Love". She said this would be a "little too rock" for her show and preferred to play Roll Yer Own. Then she asked Ian "to tell [her] something about it". Ian tried to avoid the subject by making "frantic signs from the other side of the microphone", attempting to communicate: Let's get off this subject, just play the record.

But Gloria kept persevering and eventually she was getting quite agitated because Ian wouldn't tell her. Then Ian finally said: "Gloria, I'm sorry, but you give me...I'm desperately searching for every word in my vocabulary to avoid using the words female masturbation live on BBC radio this time of the day". Gloria got mad and cried, "What! Get out of the studio!". She threw Ian out of the studio in spite of the fact that he was pressed into it.
