Today is Van Morrison's birthday and that means something. Van the Man's famous stammer is just the pursuit of Heaven by other means, and watching his pudgy little kicks at the end of his Last Waltz version of "Caravan" never fails to make us as happy, as does the way he pronounces "radio" like "radish" and throws himself willy-nilly into trances that cause him to bark and growl and roar like a lion in a leisure suit, carrot sideburns burning bright as Belfast.
