nice piece from Aquarium Drunkard about Van Morrison again today and here looking at the album Beautiful Vision
Searching for a Guru - Van Morrison in the 80s - Aquarium Drunkard
With Common One, Van Morrison embarked on the most distinctive public soul-search of any artist on the radar of the popular consciousness. Retrospectively regarded by many as his most accomplished record, the string of releases to follow would serve as companions in staking out a New-Age Celtic spirituality built on channeling legacies as far flung as Jimmy Rogers, Ray Charles, Christmas Humphrey, and L Ron Hubbard. Critical as any of these to Van’s Celtic Guru years was an interpretation of Alice Bailey’s theosophy. The ideas were laid out on Van’s 1980 masterwork, but the seven rays never radiated as brightly as they did on Beautiful Vision.
