Are you sure it's not jealousy from your side?
These may be some of the worst lyrics he's ever written.

Giant Leech: "I'm listening to The Long Con right now. Another great tune.
Van Morrison is to the 2020s what Bob Dylan was to the 1960s."

More from Leechy: "Listening to Where Have All The Rebels Gone? right now. Another groovy number.
Have any of the people here who have been griping about this album actually listened to it?"
He appears to be live poating the damn thing. Upthread I said I felt bad for the assholes who had to pretend to like the album for ideological reasons. I wasn't talking about Leech, as Van's latest music is so devoid of actual soul it probably as close to an actual groove as Nazis get.

As much as I hate Van Morrison, this thread is making me hate him even more.

Mbd77 takes this opportunity to come out as a piece of shit.
Meanwhile, the lyrics to the Van Morrison modern equivalent of "Idiot Wind"
Jealousy The things they say about me I’m not too blind to see It’s just plain jealousy
Jealousy Why don’t they just let me be? They don’t dig my philosophy It’s just plain jealousy
Is it because I’m good at my job I don’t go with the mob I don’t do what they want me to do I made it in spite of you
You don’t have a clue Have a clue just what it takes You say you never got the breaks Or you just don’t have what it takes
To make the grade You think that I’ve got it made 'Cause I’m not a slave To the system like you
The bad thin Jealousy Jealousy Not too blind to see The things they say about me

Maggie joins the thread and comes out swinging! Maggie: "I think it's significant that this thread is attracting all kinds of 'elements' that are familiar from other such threads, guys who have never posted in a Van Morrison thread before or expressed the slightest interest in his music. But who magically appear when Van starts denying COVID-19 and singing The Blues of the Elders of Zion.
Quelle surprise, it's the same guys who complained in another thread that Discogs doesn't let them deal in Nazi/white supremacist stuff.
Enjoy your new fans, Van!"

C'mon, this is the most fun people have had with his music in years. Even if it's at his expense. Which is fair, since the past 40 years or so have been at the fan's expense.

Buying a triple album of what sounds like an open mike blues jam to own the libs.

That's a great post. Is Maggie Boozin' Susan? ;-) No, not me. (But, I think she’d fit in here quite well.)

Just like the people on your Facebook who don't talk to you about anything else you post, be it something about work, or your kids, music you may post...nothing. But the second you post something about politics or trump or something...here they come! GiantLeech can pass out in a burning car for all I care.
