(8-30-12 #2) IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO STOP NOW...A happy B-Day ( 8/31/'45)
to Irish singer, songwriter, and curmudgeon George Ivan "VAN" MORRISON. In June
of '66 ( pray tell, when else?) Van's band THEM and The Doors jammed on Them's
"GLORIA" at the World Famous Whisky Au Go Go in Hollywood USA. We've already
established IGGY's and the MC 5's connection to "GLORIA" and other Them classics
( see archives for 1/3/12 and 4/4/12 ). Add to those the IG's live version of
Them's "Little Girl", which was part of a medley with "No Fun" and "Waiting For My Man" which IGGY performed on his '83 tour of Australia. Check it out on the (
you guessed it ) "Nuggets" CD of rare live IGGY performances.
PS. If
you're interested in an easy way to collect all of Van's best work just buy
everything up to his 1968 LP "Astral Weeks", then STOP. Hey, I've just saved
you hundreds of bucks!
