Sure, if Kylie or Pixie did that I'd happily send the gig watching her backside. But seriously, Van Morrison? Who wants to look at his back?
Why should that matter? It's odd, but I highly doubt he hates his fans so much that he can't even bear to look at them. If it's how he performs best, maybe because he's self conscious in front of a crowd, then it's silly to expect him to play in a way that might actually affect the quality of his music.

And Steven Tyler taking a fourteen year old girl out on tour is pretty scummy. He even had her parents legally name him as her guardian. ****. That.
