Does he himself intellectually ponder other artists or writers? Morrison contemplates the idea for a moment. “Uhhhh, maybe,” he says. Might he care to name them? “No.” ‘It’s just music’ His own voice is an extraordinary thing – one minute it is hard rain on granite, the next it is possessed by soulful, gut-stirring beauty. The supermarket revealed on Monday it was slashing prices on 400 ‘essential products’ by an average of 23%, in addition to 800 prices already cut, which COO Trevor Strain explained were not considered short-term promotions.

Therefore, it is recommended that all attendees have access to a reliable internet connection through a smartphone, computer, laptop, or tablet. The Morrisons CEO is bullish about the business’ ability to capitalise on the “supermarket renaissance” precipitated by the Covid-19 pandemic, which he believes is evidenced by the return of the “big shop” over the past six months.

But as long as they carry that mysterious note of yearning, that longing for some greater knowledge, they will, as Bob Dylan once said, get up and walk around the room on their own. When COVID-19 hit, who was simultaneously the most likely to lose paid work and the most likely to take on more unpaid work? Women. Looking ahead, as long as we keep listening to customers and colleagues and keep listening to suppliers and shareholders, then the company will continue to innovate.” Next phase

Still, this morning he grows ever more hunkered. He tells me he prefers to listen to jazz or classical music, but, asked why he favours those genres, responds with a shirty: “Cos that’s what I like.” Has he been excited by any of the players on the new jazz scene? “No,” he says. But I’m sure there is a kinder and more graceful way of declining. “You’re making a big thing about it and it’s not a big deal,” he continues. “It’s what I do. I don’t know what you do, you’re probably a journalist, that’s what you do.” This is not about me, I tell him. You're trying to make it very, very interesting and something it's not. Playing gigs is very practical. It's very repetitive Greil Marcus does not do succinct or detached. He is passionate, scholarly and deadly serious, sometimes to the point of unconscious self-parody, about the music he loves, whether it be the young Van Morrison or an obscure punk group such as the Mekons. In some ways, this makes him the perfect writer to take on board the Doors's contested legacy.

We are vertically integrated and therefore this idea that 25% of the food we sell we make ourselves is actually true. That’s an important differentiating mark in the company’s trading offer. Clearly great value is crucial to us, we are a value supermarket business. Many of our customers are on a budget where the budget means a budget, it doesn’t mean spend what you like. We combine that with our very friendly colleagues who are fantastic, they’re the best part of the whole company,” Potts told Marketing Week. No Guru, No Method, No Teacher came out in 1986, 18 years after Morrison’s magnum opus, and about two months shy of his 41st birthday. If you only know Van Morrison from Astral Weeks, the juxtaposition might be startling. On the cover of Astral Weeks, Van resembles a wood nymph in the midst of an intense religious experience; on the cover of No Guru, he looks like a no-nonsense English professor at an exclusive East Coast liberal arts college, or a no-nonsense TV detective portrayed by no-nonsense character actor Bill Camp. Let’s just say that by then he had ventured far beyond the slipstream, and well past the viaducts of your dream. Until 2004, Morrisons had mainly been in North England, but its presence increased significantly in South England, Wales, and Scotland with Safeway’s takeover in that year. Seats with large numbers of Chinese-born voters, like Chisholm and Bennelong, swung hard against the government. Polling in the Chinese language Sydney Today suggested that Chinese-born Australians were not big fans of Defence Minister Peter Dutton's advice to Australians to "prepare for war". There so many imponderables it’s hard to call, but we know as a nation we’ll come out the other side,” said CEO David Potts, speaking on a press briefing this morning (10 September).

To the extent that Morrison explicitly mentioned women during the campaign, it was often to support the defence of women's sport, as argued by Deves and by the Tasmanian Liberal Senator Claire Chandler, whose private members bill to exclude trans women from women's sport Morrison warmly supported. But the truth of it lies elsewhere. It is the sum of all parts that gives songs the power to change us, to lure us towards some heightened state. We follow willingly. People love to hold songs close, long after the action has passed, like talismans to a perfect life they could never live but wish they had.As a singer, Morrison tells me, he is “just trying things” and his recent run of blues, jazz and standards records took him into unfamiliar territory. “If it’s not familiar then you have to stretch,” he says. And how does that stretch feel? “Well, you stretch at different points depending on the song, different points in the song, what the chords are, what the arrangements are,” he says. “There’s no set answer to that question. Because if I don’t know it, it could change in take two.”

It is perhaps my favourite of all his songs. Two minutes in comes one of his most extraordinary lines: “When there’s no more words left to say about love I go . . .” and then he unleashes a sound that is guttural and rousing and raw, and that we might transcribe something like so: “neeeeeeheeeheeeaaaghhhhheheh.” I’m glad Van took the path that he did, which led him in February 1980 to a haunted monastery in the French Alps. For 11 days, Morrison and his band experimented with an open-ended mélange of atmospheric jazz and rough-and-tumble R&B, as well as dashes of new age music. While he couldn’t have known it at the time, Morrison was dreaming up the next 38 years (and counting) of his career.Data suggests Morrisons has been outperforming its ‘big four’ rivals since the onset of the pandemic. With sales growth of 15%, it was the best performing of the big four during the 12 weeks to 11 July, according to Nielsen. Likewise, in the 12 weeks to 9 August Kantar data showed Morrisons grew sales by 16%, driven by a particularly strong performance from its stores, which account for 10.2% of the market.
