1. Peace Train?

That is enough to stir up most folks around here!

LOL, Happy Thanksgiving.

[Mythsaje]

2. I remember a lot of his songs fondly

considering I grew up listening to his albums. I've always loved "Peace Train" and "Wild World," among others. When other kids my age were listening to "Puff the Magic Dragon" I was listening to "Tea for The Tillerman" and "Long Boats."

And The Moody Blues "In Search of the Lost Chord."

[hfojvt]

3. ah well

we're only dancin' on this earth for a short time.

[Redstone]

6. Now, there's one of those songs that sounds great but has

utterly horrible lyrics.

It's one of my very favorite songs to listen to, as long as I can blank out the fact that I know the words.

Same as, for example, "What's the Frequency, Kenneth" by REM.

Redstone

[marbuc]

13. Or most Phish tunes?

Studio albums horrible, live shows good.

[GrumpyGreg]

4. I'm being followed by a moon shadow. (Sorry,couldn't resist)

[tatertop]

5. Peace Train is a real classic.

[kentuck]

7. Cat Stevens is one of my all-time favorites...

Arab or not.

[PsychoDad]

20. Not Arab just Muslim

He's English by birth, Muslim by conversion. Now know as Yusuf Islam.

Here is his website:

8. I loved Cat Stevens

quite awhile ago, but made a new CD about 2 years ago for old times' sake. I still enjoy hearing him!
How are you, Redstone? 'Happy Easter', as the freep on CSPAN said this a.m.!

[Redstone]

23. Doing well, sista, thanks for asking. Easter? What the hell

was that all about? Is it some new freep meme that I don't know about?

9. Hey, Man, you got that hillbilly lingo down COLD!

(or Ma'am, how-some-ever the case may be). 'Ceptin' that most o' us hillbillies never even heared o' no Cat Stevens characters--name sounds kinda hippie, though. Was he one o' that Hickory Holler bunch o' Stevenses? They never did amount to a hill o' beans anyway! But, now that you mention it, we gotta be mighty 'keerful' about some of the stuff we're a'hearin' on the raydio nowadays--I mean with O'Sammy Been Lottin' on the lam and all. Ye jist cain't trust them furriners any more today than you could yisterdie!

:loveya:

[Redstone]

12. I done lived in the South a while.

'Most thirty yearen back it was, but but I ain't forgot nothin 'bout how you oughten talk.

Redstone

[Mr_Spock]

10. The minute I heard he was prohibited from entering I recorded all of his

music and listened to it. RW rednecks are morons - thanks W you ass hole.

[mtowngman]

11. I believe he was not allowed to enter the U.S.

a year or so ago and may still be barred, allegedly gave money to an Islamic organization who then allegedly filtered it to a terrorist group without his knowledge. Oh, baby, it's a wild world.

[liberaltrucker]

14. He ain't no Ay-rab

He's one of them-thar Limies.

[BrotherBuzz]

15. Lurleen musa bumped that there radio las nigh...

while youse doing the big nasty. 'Jus nudge that der knob a little to the right and ya'll be right back in Clear Channel country.

[MuseRider]

16. Calling all old DUers

what was that we used to say? I'm being followed by a goon shadow?

Was that after his not being allowed in this country? I can't remember but I do remember laughing over that for a long time.

[Canadian Socialist]

27. I remember that!

And all I could think of was, "It's Cat fucking Stevens... you know, Peace Train?" If they ban someone like that, then I have no chance of getting into your glorious empire. <g>

[MuseRider]

30. That is OK

don't feel badly about it, you would not want to be here these days anyway ;).

I'm being followed by a goon shadow, goon shadow goon shadow.

I am glad that someone else remembers that.

[mzmolly]

17. "Where Do The Children Play?"

Well I think it's fine, building jumbo planes.
Or taking a ride on a cosmic train.
Switch on summer from a slot machine.
Get what you want to if you want, 'cause you can get anything.

I know we've come a long way,
We're changing day to day,
But tell me, where do the children play?

Well you roll on roads over fresh green grass.
For your lorryloads pumping petrol gas.
And you make them long, and you make them tough.
But they just go on and on, and it seems you can't get off.

Oh, I know we've come a long way,
We're changing day to day,
But tell me, where do the children play?

When you crack the sky, scrapers fill the air.
Will you keep on building higher
'til there's no more room up there?
Will you make us laugh, will you make us cry?
Will you tell us when to live, will you tell us when to die?

I know we've come a long way,
We're changing day to day,
But tell me, where do the children play?

One of my favorites.

[cdsilv]

18. Actually, Cat Stevens is greek. n/t

[hamerfan]

21. Thank you for the lyrics, mzmolly...

Way up there on my list too! That song will be playing in my head all day today.

[Gato Moteado]

19. he converted to islam for sure.......

...but i don't think he could convert to an arab.

[Redstone]

22. Ahem. I know he's of Greek origin and lives in the UK, and

I do know the difference between someone who adopts Islam and an Arab.

The OP was a joke. I thought that would have been clear.

Redstone

[Gato Moteado]

25. oh sorry

i'm thick sometimes.

[Redstone]

26. De nada. I've missed much more obvious stuff.

Nobody's got anything on me when it comes to thickness.

Redstone

[lonestarnot]

24. Have this "album" but nothing to play it on, bummer.

[yurbud]

28. If you heared that song, yur a terrist.
