Mid-Week Songs: Van Morrison

 

Rock icon Van Morrison, whose career spans nearly six decades, celebrates his 77th birthday today, and we are noting it with two songs of his from different points in his career. The first is from his days as the lead singer with his Northern Ireland band Them, and the often-covered "Gloria." The second is as a solo artist in the late '60s, his hit "Brown Eyed Girl."

Always loved us some Van the Man. Very disappointed with his recent anti-vax BS; and weird recent new song, "They Own the Media" - apparently aimed at Jewish folks. Trying to figure out how to compartmentalize the angry old man screeds with fond memories. Same with Clapton and some of my favorite athletes. Sorta been thru this with Woody Allen.
