I've aired my views in the past about knighthoods and their worthlessness. I'll keep stum about what I feel about this particular decision. As for Stoneage's IRA remark? Morrison is from Belfast, U.K.

So you mean the IRA has nothing to do with Northern Irland and Belfast then, Big Al? Are you by any chance American?

Okey Al, then you probably know more about this than I. Anyway, the IRA are disarmed now.

Know what? I'm not too sure of my original point now, anyway!
Bottom line: I don't 'get' knighthoods in the 21st century.

Kind of an odd honor for a man who eschews the trapping of stardom and celebrity. But knowing his curmudgeon image perhaps he thought it would be too ungracious to refuse it. He is an odd duck burdened with the love, affection and admiration of his fans.

He is from East Belfast & with his backgroung to be knighted is a big honor. He still lives in Belfast & has never played the orange card. As a Belfast man myself from the other "side", I have no love of knighthoods but have no problem with van taking it.
