I’ve been a big fan of Van Morrison for a very long time.
I absolutely love “Wavelength,” “Into the Mystic,” “Moondance,” and “Someone Like You.”
Morrison is one of my favorite channels on Pandora.
So imagine my disappointment this morning when I discovered that he was trending on Twitter — and not for a good reason.
Yes, Van Morrison has gone full anti-masker.
The lyrics are shit, to put it plainly.
Morrison is from Northern Ireland. he has even been knighted. The Health Minister for Northern Ireland has issued a statement declaring these new songs to be “dangerous.”
There is a long history of songs being denounced as dangerous or immoral — and it never works. Won’t work this time either. Not buying the songs will work. Mocking the songs will work.
But I’m sure these songs will soon be blaring out at Trump rallies near you.
