Political paranoia variously holds the Jews responsible for the death of the Messiah, spreading the bubonic plague during the medieval period and sparking two world wars.

Another one of my musical heroes, sadly, outed himself this week as an anti-Semite. On this occasion, it was the turn of Van Morrison the consummate blues artist from Belfast in Northern Ireland, whose hoarse vocal on the wildly expressive “Gloria” got me hooked from a young age to blame the Jews for the ills of the world.
Still recording at the age of 75, Van Morrison’s latest offering is titled, with exquisite subtlety, “They Own the Media.” Musically, it’s pedestrian and anodyne, made all the more unlistenable by the asinine lyrics that accompany it (if your knowledge of Morrison’s music is limited to the song “Brown-Eyed Girl,” maybe don’t check out this one.)
