You can take all the tea in China
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail right around the seven oceans
Drop it straight into the deep blue sea
She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee

You can't stop us on the road to freedom
You can't keep us 'cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor bent on chivalry
She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee

You can't stop us on the road to freedom
You can't stop us 'cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor intent on chivalry
She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee

You know she's alright
You know she's alright with me
She's alright, she's alright (she's an angel)

You can take all the tea in China
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail it right around the seven oceans
Drop it smack dab in the middle of the deep blue sea
Because she's as sweet as Tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee

She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
Just like the honey, baby, from the bee
She's my baby, you know she's alright.....

Separate the art from the artist.  I can enjoy looking at a Picasso without prescribing to his political views, I can listen to Michael Jackson without approving of sleeping with young boys.

This is an age old problem - separating the musical genius from their other aspects. I'm not saying you're right or wrong - I suppose it's a personal choice.

If we stop playing music from every musician that has uttered statements we don't agree with (bye bye U2), every musician that was unfaithful to their partner, every musician that we deem not to be a good person, well then...
And do we only focus on the singer - what about the bass player, drummer etc.?

We might just end up listening to the birds chirp outside :(

Understand what you are saying completely but what great music up to the point he went full bolshy on the establishment! I think of pre and post when appraising.

I get it.  I have the same issue with other musicians who acts the same way, but why turn off RP when you can just skip the song?

Listening to this while sipping my second cup of coffee, sweetened with tupelo honey. I buy it from an old guy in an older truck parked at the intersection of US Highway 98 and the Bloxham cutoff, in the remote Big Bend of Florida. The alluvial delta of the Apalachicola river is a perfect environment for hardwood bottoms composed of tupelo, bald cypress and other water loving specie. Also provides the perfect mix of fresh and salt water for wildly productive oyster beds where it meets the Gulf of Mexico. The land of oysters and honey, far off the beaten path and well worth a visit.




Sounds wonderful, except for the Florida part.

Need to get some gulf oysters and tupelo honey......

I like how Van's voice is like an instrument.

The namesake for the album and its title track is a varietal honey produced from the flowers of the tupelo tree found in the Southeastern United States. The album features various musical genres, most prominently country, but also R&B, soul, folk-rock and blue-eyed soul. The lyrics echo the domestic bliss portrayed on the album cover; they largely describe and celebrate the rural surroundings of Woodstock and Morrison's family life with then-wife Janet "Planet" Rigsbee.  Jon Landau wrote in Rolling Stone: "Tupelo Honey is in one sense but another example of the artist making increased use of the album as the unit of communication as opposed to merely the song or the cut. Everything on it is perfectly integrated."

Bob Dylan:  ”Tupelo Honey has always existed and Van Morrison was merely the vessel and the earthly vehicle for it “

i inherited van from my (late) older brother.....he was born in '48 and i was born in '61 and luckily enough for me i grew up in a house where he and my other older brothers were all listening to the beatles, stones, cream, buffalo springfield, hendrix, csn&y, then list goes on (including van and others too numerous to mention).......thanks to them i had all of this music instilled in me during my formative years......

every time i hear van i think of my brother in his apartment in JP listening to this or moondance......miss you bro

There are smaller halls that can be booked, but of course they pay less, so musicians have to tour more—gee, it's sort of like a regular job! We have lots of incredible artists playing at the Aladdin Theater here in Portland damned near every day of the year, and it's never too pricey to go. I think it's a problem of evolved big stadium / big ego expectations that the public has incrementally bought into. We're going into an era of lower consumption and I think performers should consider recalibrating too. 'course, I could be way wrong. :-)

I am a huge fan of Van's music but have always had a hard time with the ornery human being attached to the music...I can usually live with it and understand passionate artists are not of this world and react differently than average people...I'm ok with that but I'm having a real hard time with his latest concert tour....I've never seen him live and really want to regardless of all the potential for having an unpleasant experience with one of my artistic genius heros.

Here's the catch. His latest concert tour brings him thru Montreal. Beautiful hall, but somewhat large obviously. There are some 'cheap seats' available at $100 but the decent tix are $230 or $280. This comes to over $300 for a single night. Tough to swallow. Do you think artists know what they're doing to their fans, many of whom have a tough time handing over a monthly food bill (almost) for 4 for a couple of hours of live entertainment? 

Have some of these artists lost contact with reality or are their cd revenues drying up so badly (downloading) that concerts are now their best source of revenue?

Enlighten me!

Ahh, it's cool that you open up to that Crush. I know what you mean on the album cover front though. My Dad's album covers alone would stir my insides even before I would listen to the music itself. That was back in the days when albums brought visual and aural art right into all our front rooms. Get out on them country roads though - they're still there (with the occasional horse trotting by even) even if the vinyl isn't! Great laid back tune btw. crushedvelvet wrote:
