PhilBorder in the Nash v. Crosby thread when people start calling Chris Hellman a right-wing crackpot. “Out of curiosity, any left wing crackpots? Like, IDK, a guy who makes an entire album dissing Monsanto but then thinks pharmaceutical companies are squeaky clean? And no need to think too hard about them hiding data from manipulated clinical trials for vaccines. Or sings about 'Freedom' but apparently means only if you agree with him. Lookout Joe! Neil decides the objective reality!” forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/the-nash-vs-crosby-feud.826481/page-99

Oh, boy, there’s a lot to digest with the new Van Morrison album… Dangerous What's It Gonna Take? Fighting Back is the New Normal Fodder for the Masses Can't Go On This Way Sometimes It's Just Blah Blah Blah Money From America Not Seeking Approval Damage and Recovery Nervous Breakdown Absolutely Positively the Most I Ain't No Celebrity Stage Name Fear and Self-Loathing in Las Vegas Pretending

Are the ELDERS OF ZION the puppetmasters? Did VAN THE MAN get permission to steal the poster art from the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers?

From the man who wrote They Sold Me Out in 2005.
Sold me out for a few shekels and divided up my robes They sold me out It's the oldest story that's ever been told They sold me out
The guy was still obsessed about the bad recording deal he signed with Bert Berns nearly 40 years later.
Also from the man who gave us They Own the Media last year.
They control the narrative They perpetuate the myth Keep on telling you lies Tell you ignorance is bliss Believe it all and you'll Never get the truth Never get wise Wise to their lies To their lies They control the media

Cool Chemist/Somerset Scholar and musicaner are just about the only two who still think Van Morrison is some sort of edgy folk hero. It’s pretty embarrassing.

The new album hasn't been officially announced yet. Apparently, it hasn't been finalized, which may be in line with some of essayceedee's observations, especially about the artwork.
When Latest Record Project was released last year, The Guardian posted a scathing review, but the best part was the comments, filled with various reports of encounters with Morrison, where he invariably treated the commenters like shit. Or this (maybe apocryphal story) about his band still playing during the encore, expecting him to go back on stage after a fine show, while he was busy backstage signing the papers to fire them all. I know this is told lightly about random artists, but the guy truly appears to be on the spectrum. There are stories about him being pretty kind and warm with fellow musicians, but he can't stand the thought of ten seconds of small talk with a fan.
Also, he can't help reminding people about the trauma he suffered with the lousy Bang Records deal, which took place 55 years ago, and lasted for a year or so, as if it were the worst crime ever committed against an artist in all of history. Even Roger "My dad died in the war" Waters can't compete with him in the self-pitying department. So, I was very glad when he took that stance about Covid and showed everybody how much of a miserable cunt he had always been.

If you read anything about his total lack of communication with the studio musicians on Astral Weeks or Moondance, it’s obvious that he’s on the spectrum. I think that’s just curdled over the years into a general misanthropy. Of course he’s probably a garden variety cunt too.

It’s amusing how with literally every thread on the rare artist who challenges any left-leaning narrative, it takes about 2 posts before a post critical of their politics emerges and it descends into a debate. But when an artist loads up on the left-leaning narrative, it can go 100 pages without devolving. You could almost conclude some open-minded people are intolerant of other views. That would be the left leaning narrative of the UK's Conservative government as led by notorious left winger, Boris Johnson, would it? Not to mention those commies, the DUP! your views are fine for you…you have no moral, ethical, medical grounds to inflict your views upon others, much less an entire nation/ world. Kinda what Adolph had in mind.

Heh always there to chide the "open minded" for FAILING to be tolerant 24/7/365, but they're just chugging along being complete assholes.

This is a two year old posts but it’s still hilarious:
What a joke. I missed zero days due to the pandemic. No one I know lost their job because of it.
Also, all the major Toronto sports teams are selling out.
