    When I was younger I just took this music for granted because it was all around me at the time. We are at a place now where nothing like this is coming out and its been like that for a long time.

    I had my daughter while in prison
    and stayed awake the 48 hours after delivery and b4 leaving her holding her and singing this song. She is now finishing law school. God takes the worst junk of our lives and makes the most incredible art. She is my Mona Lisa.

The first show we played the standard 20 min. opening act set, after that he said, through Bill Graham, "Play as long as you want." We did 45 min. sets for the rest of the tour. The last night at the Fox Warfield, in San Fran., the sound man taped our set, through the board and gave us the tape. No, I don't have the tape. Rickie Lee Jones' road mgr. was our road mgr.

      When he walked into the recording studio on the first day and met some of the best session men around at the time , they asked Van ' what do you want us to play '?
      Van replied ' just play ' ... And by God they did just that.

    Rare is the moment when we see such a humble personage go so deep within to bring us out the very essence of his soul, allow us to enter this mystical journey and give us the instrumentation in such disciplined perfection. Amen to soul man Van the Man Morrison. Amen brother. Your music will be catching us on the street corner back where we once belonged.

    • @helenarichard
      @helenarichard 2 роки тому +25

      I wouldn't call it indifference. He was a hard worker, and had a huge cultural bagage. He just looks indifferent, because he doesn't want to fall prey to fame by pretending to be a pretty boy. He realises that that would spoil his music and turn it into all of the other commercial bullshit. He's super intelligent and was smart enough to know that his attitude helped him to keep his music pure. I read multiple books on him but none of explain exactly how his pure genious lead to the creation of some of his most brilliant work like Pagan Streams, Queen Of The Slipstream, Have I Told You Lately.
