Oddly enough, read this article via a link posted by Andrew Loog Oldham on twitter..

"Van Morrison has denounced the supposed “pseudoscience” around coronavirus and is attempting to rally musicians in a campaign to restore live music concerts with full capacity audiences.
The 74-year-old Northern Irish singer launched a campaign to “save live music” on his website, saying socially distanced gigs were not economically viable. “I call on my fellow singers, musicians, writers, producers, promoters and others in the industry to fight with me on this. Come forward, stand up, fight the pseudo-science and speak up,” he said.
Morrison is due to play socially distanced gigs in England next month, but he said this did not signify agreement with restrictions to curb the Covid-19 pandemic, which has claimed more than 800,000 lives worldwide."

*apologies in advance if this violates the no covid thread policy.
Find it interesting that Van is lobbying for full capacity concerts and urging others to do the same.. )

Perfect for Van Morrison, Did he not always socially distance himself from the audience.?

That's too bad, I will miss him.
He used to live down the road from a friend of mine in San Anselmo. Used to always yell at neighborhood kids to get the hell off his lawn.

Has the man figured out how to accomplish this without insurance? I’d be surprised if he can get coverage.

Maybe there are religious motives behind the statement? Sir Ivan is a very religious man. If you listen to his lyrics you'll understand what I'm talking about...

What about Ted Nugent? Has he made any statements? Or is he retired?

How refreshing to see a famous person echo what many around the world feel. Good for him. I hope more come out and agree. Covid is way overblown by the panic porn media.

I'm not trying to make fun of somebody's faith but it is interesting that he believes in Jesus Christ but does not believe in the pandemic. I guess it is because pandemic is a novelty.
I have a friend like that and I'm really not sure if I should tell him that he is an idiot (for not believing in pandemic). Facts don't work on such people so I can skip the part of persuading.

I hope God is on your side too. Science and reality is not.
