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
