Van Morrison Starts Food Fight

It’s a fantabulous night for a moondance, also, for getting the heave-ho from two Austin, Texas, hotels. Soft-spoken, introverted crooner Van Morrison has been banned from not only the Four Seasons but the Driskill, as well. Details are a little bit sketchy, but the singer was forced to check out of both establishments after separate altercations, one of which reportedly involved throwing a room service tray at an unsuspecting employee. Van must have given him the old slim slow slider. Hey-0! I’ll be here all week.

According to Perez Hilton, the incidents took place while Morrison was in town for his South By Southwest performance. I’ve always thought of Van as the tamer of the two Morrisons, but maybe I need to reevaluate. That rabble-rouser, Jim, may have whipped out his penis (who hasn’t?), but I’ve yet to hear about any hotel clerk assaults. I’m a selfish bastard; so, here’s to hoping Van gets blacklisted from every resort in the world except a handful in Chicago, thus forcing him to play weekly gigs in the Windy City for the next decade.

UPDATE! Looks like Perez got this one wrong. Never happened. Check out the full story here.
