6. Still crying. Can't recommend this high enough. Thanks.

I miss Cat Stevens.
I loved him when I was
a young man. One of my
generation's true artists.
What a treat to hear him again.
His music says everything I need
to know about this man.

7. I had SO much wanted him to play this song in the Vote For Change Tour....

... from London capping off the DC Sundance broadcast as an IN YOUR FACE gesture to Bush and a huge rallying cry for Dems in the 2006 election when they kept him out of the country here then on some stupid security BS.

I'm SO glad to see him able to be a part of this concert!

8. Does he still support the fatwa calling for the death of Rushdie?

If he does, it doesn't matter how good his music is...

[supernova]

10. I was wondering that

I'm not sure where he left it. It would be a shame if he couldn't renounce that.

13. Please see my reply #12. eom

12. He does not support the fatwa.

"I never called for the death of Salman Rushdie; nor backed the Fatwa issued by the Ayatollah Khomeini - and still don’t. The book itself destroyed the harmony between peoples and created an unnecessary international crisis.

When asked about my opinion regarding blasphemy, I could not tell a lie and confirmed that - like both the Torah and the Gospel - the Qur’an considers it, without repentance, as a capital offense. The Bible is full of similar harsh laws if you’re looking for them. However, the application of such Biblical and Qur’anic injunctions is not to be outside of due process of law, in a place or land where such law is accepted and applied by the society as a whole."

18. the book didn't destroy any harmony

It was the fatwa that did that, decreed by a radical Muslim cleric, call it like it is. That said, I think it's just his opinion and I love his music and still listen to it.

9. So lovely to hear him again!

:D

*Digs in CD pile* I know I bought a Greatest Hits CD of his awhile back. Think it's time to get it out. :-)

[file83]

16. It's amazing when a song continues to show its timelessness...

...and the genius of the artist becomes more and more apparent as time marches on.

Hope you found the CD!

[murray hill farm]

11. Thank you, Hissyspit!

How Wonderful ...thanks.

[greyghost]

14. He came back when his voice was needed...

most. It brought tears to my eyes, and I don't cry easily.

:kick:

[BrklynLiberal]

15. I have always loved his voice and songs. So good to hear him again.

That page has some videos of his performances from many years ago...wow...

[HeeBGBz]

19. You should get the Majikat dvd

It's a concert from right before he quit the music. Excellent! Most of his best hits performed live.

I so love "Sad Lisa" , "Father and Son" and "Hard Headed Woman".
