That he found one in Islam doesn't mean he went over to the dark side. Why don't you try listening to his latest album Yusuf's Cafe Session, you maybe pleasantly surprised :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05421765689913667590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-38565142855207689002008-06-25T13:07:00.000-06:002008-06-25T13:07:00.000-06:00I remember when I discovered Cat Stevens - I thoug...I remember when I discovered Cat Stevens - I thought he was just pretty cool.Bag Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01885412195900280096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-32982789457182376582008-06-25T11:59:00.000-06:002008-06-25T11:59:00.000-06:00Jay: My take on "Cat's in the Cradle" was more li...Jay: My take on "Cat's in the Cradle" was more like remorse for not being a good parent, rather than the exchange between the older father and the angst-ridden son Stevens/Islam sings about. I find it interesting that I can't stand to hear Chapin's song these days... yet Steven's song still sounds good to me. Which proves taste is ALL in our mouths, eh?<BR/><BR/>I mis-spoke in my post, too. Stevens is the only pop star I know of that became a semi-radical Islamist. My comment about "seems to happen a lot" was directed more towards pop stars that drop out from the music biz altogether... like Peter Green... or sell out, of whch there are MANY examples. I wasn't clear at ALL in this space.<BR/><BR/>Diva, Ash, Pat and Cynthia: Thanks. This IS a good tune, regardless of what its author is doing today. Glad you liked it.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-3098635002573188832008-06-25T11:03:00.000-06:002008-06-25T11:03:00.000-06:00Cat Stevens...from my Air Force days...liked some ...Cat Stevens...from my Air Force days...liked some of his stuff, sad to say he's a Terrorist supporter these days with some half baked contrived Islamic name...what a waste of talent.PRHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429172501061105316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-90402980450507004082008-06-25T09:49:00.000-06:002008-06-25T09:49:00.000-06:00journey to the younger me....thank you for the tic...journey to the younger me....<BR/>thank you for the ticket!<BR/><BR/>and, what a shame what he became.Flag Gazerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659942646638490171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-29936466049687837892008-06-24T21:08:00.000-06:002008-06-24T21:08:00.000-06:00Interesting...i always thought it was "Cats in the...Interesting...i always thought it was "Cats in the Cradle"...good stuff.The Friendly Neighborhood Piperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07801966842022621248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-63008779697258137152008-06-24T18:16:00.000-06:002008-06-24T18:16:00.000-06:00Good tune!
