van the man's contract-breaker
in between "brown eyed girl" (which is near the top of my "50 songs i never want to hear or have to play ever ever ever again" list) and astral weeks (which is sublime), van morrison sat down and recorded 31 songs, "composed" on the spot, as a gambit to break his contract with bang records. this stuff rivals contact high with the godz for non sequitur weirdness.

I swore high and low that I would never ... ever ... play 'Brown Eyed Girl' again after a one-off cover gig I played back in the late 90s.
Then a drunk guy comes up at a Pablo show at the 'Saucer with a $20 and a request.
I still feel dirty.
Haha!
I heard Brown Eyed Girl on the radio today and thought of you!
;)
