To Sir, With Love

Van Morrison--or more properly, these days, Sir George Ivan Morrison--turned 21 today.  There are those of us--Greil Marcus may be another--who think Van Morrison's cult classic Veedon Fleece, released exactly 40 years ago, might be his greatest album.  Here's just one "highlight."  Ain't it lonely, livin' with a gun?  And then one of his all-time greats, "Streets of Arklow."
