Is ok with me. I’ve liked most of his songs. I don’t mind his politics either. Songwriter uses new material to condemn UK government, scientists and celebrities Van Morrison described the British government as “fascist bullies disturbing our peace” in one of three new tracks he has written to protest against measures to supposedly prevent the spread of Covid-19. On No More Lockdown, Morrison sings: “No more lockdown / No more government overreach / No more fascist bullies / Disturbing our peace … No more taking of our freedom / And our God-given rights / Pretending it’s for our safety / When it’s really to enslave …”

I'm still trying to figure out how anyone would dye a squirrel brown (or why they would want to do so).

His music can induce imbibing of spirits.
A very unique style and niche of rock/jazz type of music.

They say everything happens for a reason. For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

Damn, you just sent a lightning bolt through my memory.
Now I gotta remember who I saw John Lee Hooker with.
That's a lotta layers into a very damaged onion. Lol.
