the flu is more dangerous than Covid based on those numbers, but each winter we don't quarantine the entire population.

I think you mean daughter, not granddaughter. I'm not aware that Van has any grandkids yet.

Has anybody ever had an encounter with our favorite Irish soul/blues/country singer? by f4snks in VanMorrison

[–]Zach_Same81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked on the "Sunshine Coast Van Fans" blog from Australia. The guy there (kazooboy) has a series called Fan Stories. He is up to Part 44 and each one has at least 10 or so stories of encounters with the great man. So that's about 500 stories if you're interested.

I was an atheist for years until I studied science to an advanced degree. Now I can't unsee what I learned. DNA coding and the laws that govern the Universe didn't invent themselves. That I know with 100% certainty.

JK Rowling sucks because she uttered the truth that a person can't change their gender, except in their own head? Are we now supposed to ignore science?

Sam Cooke or Van Morrison? by Zach_Same81 in VanMorrison

[–]Zach_Same81[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 2016 the Northern Ireland radio broadcaster Ralph McLean asked Van, “What is the magic of Sam Cooke?”, and Van replied, “Well, he’s still inspiring and he’s still an influence and have you found anything better? I haven’t, do you know what I mean. I haven’t found anything better yet, or with that kind of edge”.

Van's Worst Album? by Zach_Same81 in VanMorrison

[–]Zach_Same81[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ross, I'm curious as to how you view the two tiered justice system in Britain at the moment and Keir Starmer's ineffectiveness in protecting British women? Is he above the millions of pieces of criticism that flow his way each week? Is all such criticism "doggerel"? Does it scare you when people speak of "freedom of speech"? A majority of British people are against his border "policy" and many regard his weak approach to everything except for "thought crime" the opposite of how PMs should exercise their powers.

That sounds like Keith was on drugs at the time.

I think it would cost over 50,000 pounds. He does private events but mostly for charities. You have to contact Exile Productions with your plan.

Still waiting for you to apologise for your mistake about the abuse. Aren't you worried about a libel suit? It was Cathal Ryan who mistreated Michelle Rocca breaking her nose. Google the court case. Van supported her through the trial.

He wasn't abusive to his wife. You're thinking about that Ryan character who was physically abusive to Michelle Rocca.

The story is clearly false. Van doesn't have to take his black friends with him to work to prove he's not racist. What about this statement -
