Just what is Veedon Fleece?
Morrison explained the title with: "I haven't a clue about what the title means. It's actually a person's name. I have a whole set of characters in my head that I'm trying to fit into things. Veedon Fleece is one of them and I just suddenly started singing it in one of these songs, It's like a stream of consciousness thing." Morrison once told a fan when questioned about the meaning, "It doesn't mean anything, I made it up myself." [source]So, with that, we can move along. I love this record. It's understated, spare, calm, mystical, and misunderstood upon its release.
