Starry
It’s 50 years since Van Morrison recorded Astral Weeks. I am marking the milestone by playing it all the way through.
It crept out rather than being released: no singles were ever issued. It took time, and the blessing of John Peel, the Pope of modern music, but now it’s seen as the most significant work of a long career.
Eileen hates it so I have retreated within the bubble of my Bluetooth headset. When it’s done, I may play the much more recent live version.
It makes me feel as old as Sir Van, as in fact I am.
