BROWN-EYED MAN AT THE GRANDE

Van Morrison sounds great on his new album Astral Weeks...too bad I can’t say the same for him in person.

He (and his back-up group) played the Detroit Grande Ballroom February 21, and shouldn’t have.

In the three minutes he allowed me for an interview, I found out he hates the Grande and just about anyone who sets foot into the place.

I asked him if he had known what the Grande would be like, and if so why did he come. His reply was rather asinine, saying that though he found out what it was like, he had a contract.
