Followup......Hello all...no, please remain seated,<br /><br />Followup....regarding Stones' Winter as a Morrison homage....<br /><br />Winter was recorded a few months after St. Dominic's preview was released, and a year or so after Tupelo Honey. To my ears, Mick's growling "....wrrrrrappp my coat around you" is influenced by Van's "Listen to the Lion" delivery.<br /><br />Maybe, maybe not. I wouldn't be the first person to read more into songs than is warranted. But, the Stones did give some pretty overt props to other bands besides Cheuck Berry - 2000 man (Kinks) and Stray Cat Blues (Velvet Underground).<br /><br />regards,<br />RichD<br /><br />Regards,<br />RichDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-25612305110823380942017-03-02T00:56:04.079-05:002017-03-02T00:56:04.079-05:00Three valid comparisons.

The Stones ...Hello all...no, please remain seated,<br /><br />The Stones paid homage to his Van-ness (or, Mick did, to be precise) with Winter from Goats Head Soup.<br /><br />A more recent manifestation of Ivan's long shadow is Laura Marling's gorgeous "Goodbye England (covered in snow)". <br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rt1dmt-Zqyc<br /><br />regards,<br />RichDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-13163558868493548062017-03-01T11:22:13.097-05:002017-03-01T11:22:13.097-05:00Yeah, you're right, Steve, and that's some...Yeah, you're right, Steve, and that's something I wrestle with. Van's influence on Bruce is obvious, so I think, hey, if I love Bruce, then surely I should at least dig Van to some extent. Sadly, no. He just strikes me as safe MOR for baby boomers, like "461 Ocean Boulevard"-era Clapton. (Nothing against baby boomers as I am one myself.)Blue Ash Fannoreply@blogger.com
