Thread Name: Origin: And It Stoned Me (Van Morrison)
Subject: RE: And it stoned me -- Van Morrison ,,,,,,,
The year was 1990. Van Morrison released two albums: "Moondance" and "Astral Weeks". Two very different moods. I have often used "Moondance" as a pick-me-up when I was feeling down. If I really wanted to wallow in my depression I put on "Astral Weeks". Certainly these were highlight albums for Morrison. He has been so productive and has varied his interests so much that I would hesitate to call them the pinnacle of his success, but they are both wonderful in their own way.
