What are those little doohickeys you stick into an ear of corn called? Corn stabbers? Corn handles? Corn forks? Corn thingies?

Two hours until we depart for Van Morrison. This is like church to me, man.

Last concert I attend was Paul McCartney in November. Good show. Before that was a year prior, Helmet at some club in Dallas.

Jeez, we’ve scared up two babysitters in three days. We might not get that lucky again over the course of the coming year.

I really hope this show is terrific. He doesn’t tour just a whole lot, so I don’t know much about his live shows. There’s no one else quite like him though. If he did a set without a single song I recognized I wouldn’t be altogether surprised.

 

But I know plenty. I’m sure he’ll dust off a few chestnuts.

I wonder if he even stoops to selling the same sort of merchandise the other artists do? Think he’s got a baseball jersey lookin’ shirt with “Van Rocks Your Ass Off!” across the back?

I’d buy one.

Have a good evening.
