I’m enjoying Alexis Petridis’s review of Van’s new anti-lockdown album, but I feel the title of the review is a missed opportunity.
I’ll start: Loondance

This is the man who wrote Astral weeks. How
He was always a horrible man. He just had a run of making lovely records. But that was a very very long time ago

I feel we’re getting away from the task of coming up with a good title for the review and into general discussion about how much of a dick Van Morrison is these days.

Have We Told You Lately That We Hate You?
Here Comes the Nut
The two singles he’s released on the new album sound pretty good to me. I rarely listen to lyrics.

Obviously you can be a genius artist yet still have questionable views.
I point you in the direction of Richard Wagner.
Sure. Plumbing new depths of idiocy here really though aren’t we.
Anyway: back on topic,
Listen to the lion (wear a mask)
I agree with this, and often fight this corner (forlornly) in HGATR threads. Van has crossed the line though, because he has made his dodgy views the actual content of this music. That is surely different.

It’s Bedshitters’ Night at the Local Discotheque and Here Are Jams Aplenty
Wonder if there’s anything on there that rivals his current magnum opus of pissiness
Rave On, Van Dumb
It’s good, but I’m still disproportionately proud of my Here Comes the Nut from earlier in the thread.
Three YouTube Channels And The Truth
Was actually enjoying his Live at the Belfast Opera House last weekend (from 1983), great band, great live recording. Literally bumped into him outside the Glasgow Pavilion circa 1995. He was four feet tall. New album is called ‘ForFoxAche’

I know he’s a cunt, trust me, but there’s an awful lot of ableist terms flying about in this thread.
