Valin Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Rolling Stone (a former magazine about music) "His words will give great comfort to the conspiracy theorists – the tin foil hat brigade who crusade against masks and vaccines,” Robin Swann says of singer’s new anti-lockdown songs Jason Newman Sept. 21 2020 As Northern Ireland’s Health Minister, Robin Swann’s primary job these days is to ensure that the public is kept up to date with the latest factual information on the coronavirus and continually disseminate ways that the public can keep safe. Van Morrison, of all people, is not helping this situation. Taking the concept of “protest music” to bizarre conclusions, the 75-year-old singer announced the upcoming release of three new songs — “No More Lockdown,” “Born to Be Free” and “As I Walked Out” — that accuse the government of “taking our freedom” and bashes the worldwide lockdown to prevent the spread of Covid-19. “Morrison makes it clear in his new songs how unhappy he is with the way the Government has taken away personal freedoms,” a post on his website helpfully notes. “No more lockdown/No more government overreach/No more fascist bullies/Disturbing our peace,” Morrison sings on “No More Lockdown.” “No more taking of our freedom/And our God-given rights/Pretending it’s for our safety/When it’s really to enslave.” (Snip) ___________________________________________________________________________________ Van Responds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
