Brown Eyed Gnome

I’ve had a wee listen now and then to Van Morrison’s music, but had no idea he was into garden gnomes. Apparently during a performance in Philadelphia he mumbled something about a gnome outlet. Go Van!

During “Ancient Highway,” part of a medley that also included “In the Afternoon” and “Raincheck,” he muttered something about a store on the side of the road “that sells garden gnomes.” Other than that, and stopping to ask if anyone had heard his classic 1968 album Astral Weeks before a stirring “Madame George,” he kept his inscrutable thoughts to himself and the music moving forward.
