Van Morrison to release lockdown protest songs
Attachment 4058
Sir Van Morrison has accused the government of "taking our freedom" in three new songs that protest against the coronavirus lockdown.
In the lyrics, he claims scientists are "making up crooked facts" to justify measures that "enslave" the population.
"The new normal, is not normal," he sings. "We were born to be free".
boomer idiot
He should be in lockdown for his sh!t records.
Van WHO ????
Who said cancel culture wasn't real :biggrin:
Vanker.
He stayed apolitical all that time whilst being Northern Irish and had no issues with any infringement of freedoms caused by UK government and the respective dribbling ****ers who were the paramilitaries throughout the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s.
Now he comes up with this? (Laughing)
What an absolute ****ing plum!
'And it Stoned Me' is a great song mind.
Van morrison is a hugely influential artist of immense talent but he should have stepped out of the limelight bloody years ago as his flirtations with being a jehovahs witness since the late seventies and since then Christianity have turned his mind potty and his music total shite
But hes produced some fantastic stuff
Astral Weeks is a landmark album of the late sixties with sorrowful music and lyrics such as sweet thing , madame George etc
Into the mystic is a beautiful song about facing death
Come running a teenage romantic upbeat number
Some of his arrangents before he lost his marbles were staggering
Stay with me has beautiful violins
Too late to stop now is an immense album
A real legend
But then he found jesus and he's off his cake
Van is the man. All you left liberal softies that like to be controlled herded and led by lunatics can be like sheep.
I'm with Van. Get on with life and freedom. You are all gonna die anyway.
Van Morrison can be the warm-up act for David Icke's next stand up routine.
Yes but if people can just stick to the slight restrictions for a little while longer a lot of people will live a lot longer and the restrictions wouldn’t have to be as tight.Quote:

Really.
How come Sweden is through all this already. You are gullible.
Sweden doesn’t have the population density, and by that I mean the people there are not as ****ing dense, entitled and selfish as **** like a lot of uk pobls
When it comes to deaths per million, the U.K. and Sweden are both near the top of the chart - we're tenth and they're thirteenth. For cases per million, we're fiftieth to their thirty sixth - Sweden's record is not the disaster many thought it would be, but it's not the triumph those on the right are making it out to be either.Quote:

Try and understand the full story and don’t just read headlines is my advice.
I don’t want another full lockdown and I don’t think I’ll see one but stupidly and selfishness mean restrictions are needed.
Ban the Van?Quote:

Calls for Van Morrison to be stripped of Belfast city honour
Attachment 4059
A Belfast councillor has said the local authority should revoke Sir Van Morrison's freedom of the city over his coronavirus intervention.
The musician was given the honour in 2013 in recognition of his storied career.
He has called for an end to measures which "enslave" people in a new song calling for pandemic restrictions to be lifted.
City councillor Emmet McDonough-Brown said: "Van Morrison was given the freedom of Belfast, the highest honour the city can bestow.
"His most recent lyrics undermine the guidance in place to protect lives and are ignorant of established science as we grapple with Covid-19.
I love vans early music but he is behaving like a gun toting right wing white American libertarian arsehole
