No one in the fanviews thread. The are all stoned.
Yeah that's right!
Or waiting for a refund.
Another Van Morrison anecdote: me and my Dad arrived at the concert half an hour late and the show had already started, Van played for a further 30 minutes, there was a sweet spot ten minutes in, but it was getting more and more elusive, so Van just pissed off and didn't come back! (40 minute concert). There were Texans and Carolinans all around us shouting 'I cannot believe this, we have spent our life savings to get here tonight!'. I did feel sorry for them, but we had only driven 30 miles . Van's band were shouting in the hope that he would return 'Mr VAaaaaaaannnnn MOrrrrrissson; VAAAAAN MORRISON, Van the man Morrissson', but he never came back. He was probably in the bar!
Here gecko you will like this - I'm not sure anyone else will tho!

One of my favourite stories from my friend Tim is about Van Morrison. He lives in our neck of the woods and Tim approached him on the street a few years back to ask him for an autograph or something. Van M. put up his had with his palm showing in a kind of 'back off' gesture and said "Don't come any closer". Tim was naturally gutted, he loves music and just wanted a quick chat.
So, imagine his delight when some time late he was in the Esso station and he saw Van Morrison wanting to put some air in his tyres - but VM didn't have a 20p piece in his wallet for the machine. He walked over to Tim to ask him if he had any change for a quid and Tim just put his hand up and said, "Don't come any closer" turned around and walked away. Legend.
hehe - most excellent! (don't I know you from another life?!)
Yeah Van is almost obscenely 'grumpy'' which is one of his nicknames in Ireland I believe.
On a more serious note (tho still kinda funny), I heard a radio interview with one of his oldest friends, a journo / musician who said he and Van hadn't spoken for 20 years. Cos Van is a born again Christian and they were getting drunk in a quiet pub - started arguing about 'forgiveness' - and it got to the point where the friend was challenging Van about whether Myra Hindley (a notorious child murderer who bears an uncanny resemblance to Lady Gaga) would receive forgiveness.
At this point Van explodes, gets up and hurls his keys at his friend and says 'Of course she fucking would!!', stalks out into the dark yonder, and they have never spoken since.
