Today is watercooler day over at Ethos (thanks to Camel Crossing for the link). I don't usually join in with these kind of things, and I didn't answer the question about music - but I thought that this fitted the general idea of Arts/Culture ... (I have commented before about my occasional difficulties with rules and conformity!)
As I was reading the Ethos post, I was listening to a Van Morrison concert recorded for Radio 2's music club - it's fantastic. I love the way that he takes familiar songs, gives them a new twist, and turns them into something even more magical - just listen to 'Have I told you lately' and you'll see what I mean.
It seemed to be something worth talking about at the watercooler.
At the start of the concert, Johnny Walker quotes Van Morrison:
"There's always tunes and words going on in my head. I don't know if it's a curse or it's a blessing."
Listen to the recording (I don't know how long it'll be there - so do it soon!) and make up your own mind.

love love love van morrison!!!
I listened to Paul Jones' interview with Van the man on R2 and I reckon we got more of the man than the myth that night largely due to Jones' handling of the interview.
I think Van's his own worst enemy at times. A bit full of his own importance and needlessly disrespectful to others around him.
someone else has tunes and words in thier heads as well? thought it was just me. ~npp
