Cat Stevens is good for the soul! I love him and I do not take his great music for granted.

i know he's a muslim now, and thats not bad at all, and i am not against it at all, but since then he didnt make any good song, alas, he seems to have understood islam wrong....

I hope Cat Stevens aka Yusef has found the peace he seems to always have been searching for. But in his absence a void has been created by this very talented, sensitive artist.

Yusuf is expressing the views of moderate, sane Islam - so shut your hole, right! You must be prepared to let Islam speak when they want to - that is real democracy.

I believe his next album will be called 'Tea for the Taliban'. His music evolved and flourished because he lived in a free tolerant Christian society. It would not have existed in a repressive Islamic society. Yusef needs to pull his head out of his rear and admit that.

Word! Harry Chapin and Jim Croce are right up there too.

he was an amazing man..still is. the fact that the words he sings are so relevant to every generation is because they are about life and how we are all the same. Some of us go in different directions but what we are made of is the same. Kids today should pick up a copy of the album Tea For The Tillerman. It might very wll be one of the best albums ever, if not the best. I also suggest Harry Chapin because he wrote about real people as well and died at 38. He was of the same stuff Cat is made of.
