Van Morrison a Father Again at 64

it certainly is his right to have a child, however he couldn't have done it without a woman much younger so that should have told him something. he may live a very long life and do just fine but the odds are against that its a fact of life. no one wants to get old but sometimes we have to face that fact and find other ways to be happy.

Sounds like alot of parents didnt raise their children right from some of the disrespectful comments from the people here. I guess they all must have had "young" that didn't know to teach them correctly about keeping their dirty little mouths shut.Just goes to show which way the world has turned. I say congratulations to any new parents and celebrate the life God has granted.

Everyone is commenting negative or positive thoughts on the age of Van Morrison. How old is his wife? Has anyone even thought of that or did I miss something? He could live another 20 or 30 years for all you know. If his wife is much younger, she could be here for another 40 or 50 years. Who are all of you people to know what is best for the world?

wow....i agree with laura. who are you all to judge. for everyone who is born, there is someone who will say, the parents are too young, the parents are too old, the parents are too poor, the parents have too many kids, their home is too small, they don't dress the kind right...get over it and live ur own pathetic lives and leave them to live their own without your unrequested input. if the child is loved that is all that matters, there are too many children born to young, rich parents who live in great homes and show their kids no love and attention, resulting in some of the psycho adults out there. and every indication is that the child will be loved and you should just leave it at that and wish them the best.

Oh my someone else who hasn't read the Bible? Ok I'll help ya...Abraham fathered Isaac at the age of 100 (Genesis 21:5). After Sarah died he married Keturah and fathered 6 more sons (Gen 25:1-6). So the oldest age someone has fathered a child is way beyond Mr. Morrison. And it was good or you wouldn't be here dear. :)

actually, bunnie, does it not seem that your statement 'older persons should be responsible and thoughtful' betrays a pre-concieved notion that 'older persons' have to follow some sort of unwritten rules?
one smells age-ism in your thoughts.
who 'determines' what is older?
one senses you feel that these folks were 'irresponsible' for having a child 'at their age'.
while i do agree with you that just because we can have a child doesn't mean we should, 'who' is to determine 'who' gets to 'have' children? i see people (younger and older) all the time who should have never had children, but it's not my 'job' to tell them they shouldn't.it's their 'right'.
i completely agree with andi. my parents could have had me when they were wee tikes and then died through some cause.
there are no guarantees, bunnie.

Thanks, Lee, for smoking everyone off Van's ass for being too old to reproduce. Obviously you're the only ass here and I pray you don't reproduce. The Morrison's brought a child in the world out of love. Cannot imagine what your motive would be. Except, perhaps, some misdirected desire to have prodgeny as f'd up as you are. That goes for your wife too for putting up with a jackass like you.

Quit giving old timers a bum rap. I'm 67 yoa, logevity is not a family trait. However I'm 67 yoa, retired military, fought in two war, lost a r. leg(below the knee) in vietnam, have 14 grands, and one great grand comming in Jan.. I recently rode my motorcycle with my 71 yoa friend from Chas. SC to Key west and back(1670 mi.)in three days. I am open ocean dive qualified, and single engine airplane qualified.
GOD gives us all only today.

He should have spent the money to have his ugly old yellow teeth whitened, it does work even on ugly stained teeth like his. And I know people of all ages can get pregnant or father a child, vigara, in vitro, whatever. That doesn't make it a wise choice, I guess since nannies & housekeepers, etc., will be taking care of the child they don't care. Most older people have health issues, plus they just can't keep up. And NO 64 isn't the new 44 LOL.

My mother had me when she was 25, she died when I was 15. I managed to grow up well adjusted and happy. There is never a guarentee your parents will always be there. Just make the most of what time you have.
