Down the road from the Acropolis in Athens there's a temple to Poseidon at Sounion, on the tip of the Attic peninsula. Byron carved his name in the stone and you can still see it. Watching Van Morrison and Dylan sing with the Parthenon in the background was like seeing our poets communing with the muses. Thanks so much.

[@kevingreaux7133]

The Apostle Paul preached the gospel of Jesus Christ at Areopagus in northwest of the Acpropolis in Athens Greece. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16/ Jesus Christ is the way,and the truth and the life and no one can come to the Father except through Him. John 14:6/ Salvation is found in no other. There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Acts 4:20/ It is destined for men to die once and after this the judgment. Hebrews 9:27

Van should record an album “unplugged”, just him and his guitar singing all these great songs. He also did “Crazy Love” with Dylan on this Greek mountain top. I believe it is his greatest rendition of “Crazy Love”, better than the studio version imho.

he has an album of accoustic recordings from the late 60s- early 70s . its called unplugged in the studio i think and crazy love is on it

[@jimreadey4837]

Following the commercial failure of ‘Astral Weeks,’ Van Morrison and his wife moved to upstate New York, close to Woodstock, and close to Bob Dylan’s home, an artist he greatly admired. According to Morrison’s wife, "Van fully intended to become Dylan's best friend", she recalled. "Every time we'd drive past Dylan's house ... Van would just stare wistfully out the window at the gravel road leading to Dylan's place. He thought Dylan was the only contemporary worthy of his attention." Sadly for Van, though, Dylan moved out of town just before he arrived.
