Van Morrison
Michael Goldberg, Rolling Stone, 18 February 1982
VAN MORRISON's brown, two-story, shingled house sits alongside a narrow road that snakes up Mt. Tamalpais above the sleepy Marin County town of Mill Valley. From the road, only a mailbox, with a large number that looks as if it were painted by a child, indicates the presence of Morrison's home.
