Subject: RE: Cat Stevens aka Islam
Rex, I saw the same interview that Callie did, and I assure you that he was supporting the conservative Islamic price on Rushdie's head.

"Morning has Broken" isn't all that old; the words were written by Eleanor Farjeon, who died in, I think, 1957. (She converted to Roman Catholicism in her old age, btw.)

I'm another fan of "Tea for the Tillerman," and I did buy the compilation with the theme song from "Harold and Maude," because I just hadto have it, tho' I hated myself. The royalties do go to mindless fundamentalism, which I despise in all forms.
