Van Morrison, born Aug 31, 1945

“Music is spiritual. The music business is not.”

“It was really strange for me when I started to play concerts in America where the audiences were all sitting down.”

“I don’t feel comfortable doing interviews. My profession is music, and writing songs. That’s what I do. I like to do it, but I hate to talk about it.”

“Singing is my profession – there is no plan B.”

“You take stuff from different places, and sometimes you stick a line in because it rhymes, not because it makes sense.”

“Say goodbye to Madame George
And the loves to love to love the love”

“I just wanna get on with the show.”

George Ivan Morrison
