Van Morrison hasn't released interesting music in three or four decades (depending on where you stand on, say, Hymns to the Silence), but he is getting a relatively high amount of press for his most recent release: Latest Record Project Vol. 1. This is not because his musical approach has suddenly become relevant again, but rather because he's followed up his year of Covid denialism with an album full of conspiratorial ranting, including songs like "The Long Con," "Big Lie," and, most despicably, the anti-Semitic "They Control the Media." Presumably he's saving "They Killed Jesus" for Vol. 2.
