The green isle of Ireland has given the world a great many things: James Joyce, the Boston P.D., Guinness and a certain Mr. Van Morrison. In Lesson 91 of the 101 Series, we sit down and bask in the warm glow of the Belfast genius . . . And we try not to bug him. We try really hard. (He still kicked Scott and took a swing at Anthony before doing a version of “Into the Mystic” that made us cry and call our moms.)
