I am working on Primavera 4. At this moment it’s June 23, 2012 in her parallel universe, and some very loud fireworks are about to explode, literally and figuratively. While they do, Primavera’s creator (who never takes a day off while he’s being creative) is having a morning with one of his heroes, and contemporaries, the great George Ivan Morrison CBE . . . that would be Van to youse. Factoids of interest to nobody but me; 1) Van the Man is two months and two days younger than me, 2) he and my wife share the same birthday. (Of course, VtM is much older that Eileen.)

And by the way, Dave, when the hell is Van going to collect his knighthood? Several lesser British musicians have already felt the tap of the sword on their shoulders.
