    Curmudgeon remains curmudgeon shocker. And the irish times 'reporting' it.. I miss live music but not enough to ignore social distancing and put myself/family/friends/colleagues/anyone at risk

    Morrison was always an arsehole, very difficult man.

    Yes, I get all of my medical advice from a 74 year old misanthropic hermit.

    True, but now he has gone from difficult to dangerous!

    He is a fat grumpy clown.
    I wouldn't pay any attention to what that moany hole has to say.

    My folks would have been big fans, but he is absolutely brutal live seemingly.

    Those early/mid 70s albums are as good as it gets though.

    No idea so I'll defer to you on that.

    I love Muse but Matt Bellamy spreads all sorts of toxic sh*te on social media but I can separate him from his music.

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

    The Slate summed up his live performances perfectly:

    "Van Morrison hates you, and he won't play requests"

    That's disappointing, one of my favourite singer-songwriters, but I think most people are clever enough to ignore his views on Covid-19.

    Brian Kennedy also seems to act as his translator on stage to his singing which now takes the form of mumbling

    Not his problem if a packed crowd gets Covid.
    The money is in the bank. On to the next gig.
    Van the Man is sounding like Ryanair's Michael O'Leary "I'm saving the economy".

    Just what I'd expect from that miserable odd prick.

    Talented man but that's about it.

    I wouldn't be surprised if he was a covid song ready to go. The first lines will be something like this
    'Why was I forgotten mumbles mumbles mumbles.
    Why did nobody listen to me mumbles mumbles mumbles
    Nobody respects the mumble man mumbles mumbles mumbles.
    Covid tried to kill the music mumble
    It can kill all the people but it can't kill me mumbles mumbles x 10.
    And no this is not fu¢king van Morrison either. ( if the above does appear in his next songs let me know I'll sue the geriatric for royalties)

    A fantastic artist imo. I love him. But he seems like a pure and utter prick.

    Yeah, he "wants you to die" from a virus that has zero deaths in this country almost every day now. You corona cultists are like hysterical puritan fanatics.
