A music break on a snowy day. Who'd have think that 60 years ago a 75 year old man would be one of the few standing up for individualism and non conformist thought.

Van the Man and Eric Clapton.

I have ALWAYS loved them, and now even more so.

If you don’t like Van Morrison we can’t be friends.

I am a big fan of Van the Man. I just looked at his discography and counted 26 of his albums are in my collection. I've seen him live five times. The first time was in the early '70's, most recently was three years ago. I say all that as background to my comment below..

My favorite albums of his mostly come from the '90's. Though I think Wavelength and Poetic Champions are earlier and are two of my favorites. I do not like his newer (post 2000) releases nearly as much as his early music.

I do think it is great that he has taken the position that he has and agree with him. But musically, it really is not his best work.

The guitar intro to “Wild Night” is superb.

Tupelo Honey.

...all the tea in Chiney

[Sir_Humphrey]

Don’t forget Moondance from 1970

They are in Canada at the moment.

[Uncle Miltie]

They are pussies, every one.

[Michael.SF.]

Agree. He has so many good ones it’s hard to leave any of them off.

For years I enjoyed that song and had no idea what was special about honey from Tupolo. A few years ago, I found out: it never crystallizes. It will always stay liquid. Plus it’s really good!

Right you are... specifically Ottawa where the temperatures last night were about -20 degrees F. If that doesn’t show the commitment of a ‘rebel’, I don’t know what does.

[Aria]

Someone Like You....one of my all time favorites.

[Tommy Revolts]

Right On.

Van, we’re still down South living in a free society.
