Moonshine Whiskey (Van Morrison) popped up on shuffle tonight. These lines jumped out.
“Gonna put on my hot pants
And promenade down funky broadway ’till the cows come home”
I can’t erase this image from my mind.
Van Morrison. Astral breeks.

Yes indeed. This is quite possibly my favourite Van Morrison lyric. I rather suspect he had been partaking of some moonshine whiskey when he wrote it.
‘Walkin’ down Cyrpus Avenue, wearin’ speedos an’ a top hat, eatin’ pasty suppers an’ fusco’s ice cream, playin’ R’n’B with Ian Paisley and Roy Walker, curtains twitchin’ – gettin’ strange looks from the residents… ‘Call the police, Mervyn – it’s that man again…’
