Cat, you traded one wrong system for another. How arrogant of us to think we are right. I was born again. I was wrong. The truth is we can’t know. GREAT DOC!

Words cannot describe how amazing Cat Stevens is. I have never knew of an artist like him whose EVERY album reflected their ENTIRE life. From listening to his first to last albums in order, you can literally find the story of his life, what he’s been through, his every feelings, the changes of his beliefs, EVERYTHING. He’s so inspiring, so open minded, so good hearted, so spirited. It’s amazing how he’s found what he’s been looking for all his life and is simply happy with it. That doesn’t happen to many people. He found his call and he’s living it, he’s not turning back on it. I respect him so much. As a 16-year-old teenage girl, I WOULD LOVE TO MEET HIM. I would say I’d die to meet him but come on, the reality is, if I had an opportunity to meet ONE person in this whole world, it would be CAT STEVENS, correction, Yusuf Islam. If I could I’d literally run into his arms and cry. He’s inspired me forever.

Cat Stevens is the man who publicly stated that Salman Rushdie should die for publishing Satanic Verses (see the clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Oienjf0GK8). He should have been arrested there and then.
