For all you Van lovers, "Belfast" is a must see. With Van's songs and lyrics so tightly interwoven into the story line, I end up thinking that Kenneth Branagh sat down with Van to learn about his life in Belfast and to hear the stories behind all his amazing music. Then sat down and wrote a screen play based on the tales Van shared - with the accompanying tunes!

You realize that I gave it a '1', not a '10'...right?  Perhaps it was necessary back then -- perhaps Van Morrison himself was even necessary as a songwriter.  But his songs have not aged well, and his voice is almost as bad as Bob Dylan's.

The language (in this instance) hasn't changed.  "Fag" has always meant a cigarette in Brit-speak.
But you make a good point.  For example, Arlo Guthrie (not a Brit) uses the word "faggots" in his song, Alice's Restaurant.  Would not go over well with audiences today.

I cannot believe the RP rating listeners have given this song. Van is a great artist and while this is not his best effort it's pretty darn good. Give it a snowman.

Really wish RP would play the best song on the album, perhaps the best one Van ever did: "I'll Be Your Lover, Too".

Van did another version on the very end of the movie "Proof of Life" (Russell Crowe & Meg Ryan). That version is even better. 

C'mon Bill!

That riff is a variation of a pretty standard R&B or "boogie-woogie" shuffle, which predates either song mentioned here.  Marvin Gaye's 1963 hit "Can I Get A Witness" is one example of its prior use.  It's application is somewhat heavy-handed in this tune, and not in a good way.

"Birthed" - WTF?

Apparently I have a worse kind of mind because I thought it was rather more than "Playboy". Given the era though, maybe it was indeed a cheesecake deal. Van, do you want to jump in here? We're all waiting for the 411.
