February was a tumultous month, both on a personal and professional level. But no matter how crazy life may get, I have always relied on the powers of music to get me through just about every problem. On February 24, Van Morrison, 1 of my favorite singers, and someone who I think truly epitomizes the word "artist", released a live version of "Astral Weeks", an album he released in 1968 and who many believe is 1 of the best records EVER recorded. As I listened to this interview on Saturday, it brought me to tears to listen to this man's music. I have been loving Van Morrison and his unique style of music almost my entire life. And these 4+ minutes, are just about as perfect as "Astral Weeks". You can hear it for yourself here: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=101031512
