Re: Patti appears w/ Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens) on "Morning Becomes Eclectic" (live today: 11:15 am PDST)

Sky,

    All of your points are very true, but YI (I like that :) ) has made it
clear in the past that his views on many issues are skewed very far from mine,
beginning with women's rights and America's Constitution.  Thanks for making
me try to be clearer.
    And no, I don't hold Islam in general as a bad thing.  Hey, all organized
religions have their seriously not-helpful people, ya know?  Actually I should
say that all GROUPS of any kind probably do.  Hey, we are all only human
beans.

    FWIW, I also have Gregg Allman on my shitlist, for turning people who
thought they were his FRIENDS to the cops, to save his own ass from drug
charges.  But that's ok, I haven't thought the Allman Brothers' Band was so
hot since Duane died, and certainly since Barry Oakley died.
    See? I can hold a grudge against people I'll never meet for a long time
;)

--Bob

  whoa.  Mitchell didn't say, and I don't know, if YI/CS supports insane
  fundamentalist actions.  does he?  please tell us you're not calling
  YI/CS a pig solely for being Muslim.  I'm just asking, I haven't looked
  into what YI/CS's trip is.  I personally don't have a religious
  affiliation, but having one doesn't mean one is among the insane
  fundamentalists.
