| Van Morrison – Madame George Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| While all songs are open to interpretation, I've been listening to this song for 40 years now (since I borrowed Astral Weeks from Douggie Knight's record library on Belfast's Botanic Avenue in 1975 and kept it out so long that he made me buy it!), and I'm pretty certain the Dublin transvestite interpretation is the correct one - although Van has in the past suggested it also refers to his Aunt Joy.. Incidentally, although some of the other interpretations are very imaginative, I'm also pretty certain that the references to "Ford and Fitzroy" are references to Ford Street and Fitzroy Avenue in the vicinity of Belfast's Queen's University. | |
