THE ENDTIMES ARE NEAR: VAN MORRISON TO GIVE FANS WHAT THEY WANT

Van Morrison is so cranky and ornery, he makes Bob Dylan look eager to please. So I was shocked to read that he is going to be performing his Astral Weeks album in its entirety in L.A. next month. I bet he'll pull a Dylan, though, and render all the songs unrecognizable. For real, though, here's hoping that he has a "Dylan '89" revelation: that's when Bob got his inspiration back, and also realized that he had to be at least a little cognizant of the audience or else they wouldn't keep coming back. Actually, I think Dylan's due for another revelation like that.

We’re also pleased to announce that an increasing archive of exclusive film footage of Van Morrison performances has now been made available for fans on Exile’s official YouTube channel at http://uk.youtube.com/user/OfficialExileFilms .

Thanks again for the plug.
