[coast to coast]

I can't tell if anything Clive is saying is taking the piss or not. Is that Lester Bangs book still available... Psychotic Reactions I think? I must buy it.

 

[oh shit]

The Van Morrison article isn't in Psychotic Reactions, but it's a great un. Love the link up with VU's White Light-White Heat. He can write brilliantly sometimes, but the nature of his gonzo-ish style is kindof hit and miss.

true story.

van morrison once borrowed our band's gear to rehearse before playing at the city hall in belfast the same night bill clinton turned on the xmas lights.
i went down to the venue where someone introduced me to van.
instead of shaking my hand he just reached into his pocket, pulled out an already peeled orange (complete with fluff) grumbled something and bit straight into it.

my brush with genius.
