Legendary Critic Greil Marcus on listening to Van Morrison | Haight

Submitted by the Event Organizer

“Van Morrison,” says Greil Marcus, “remains a singer who can be compared to no other in the history of modern popular music.” The wild turbulence of his music, mirroring the swings in his popular acclaim, makes him one of the most perplexing and mysterious figures in modern music. He willfully resists simple categorization — he is as much a bluesman as a Celtic soul singer, a rock and roller as a folk singer, a diva as a balladeer; his greatest songs are at one moment his own, at another covers of those by others.
