Van Morrison - Astral Weeks

from Somebody Likes It · host Shane Bartell, Kevin Newsum, Ryan Newsum, Mark Couvillion

Lot's of people go through a hippie phase. Usually in High School, or maybe Freshman year of college. Maybe you decide to drop out of college for a year, buy some kind of old van, and follow String Cheese Incident around the country selling burritos in the parking lots of their shows. I'm saying it happens. Now, imagine going throw your hippie phase in the ACTUAL 60's. Yeah, that's some deep ass shit. Well, looks like that's what Van Morrison decided to do with his 1968 record "Astral Weeks". An almost stream of consciousness, jazzy-folk song cycle, it tells the story of me getting an imminent nap. One thing I regret is being up-able to find any pictures of what the band was wearing during the recording sessions. I imagine fringe. Pick up Van Morrison's Astral Weeks over at Amazon.
