i did some limited searching today to find some
of that stuff that pissed off scooter. i found
an audio piece where he was explaining his life
and why he converted to islam. it's an hour and
49 minutes and i only had time to listen to 17
minutes. there was a lot of religious talk in it,
i didn't agree with it, but i didn't find it offensive
either - to each his own spiritual path.

here's a realaudio link if you have an hour and
49 minutes to spare (you have to left-click on this one):

i think maybe scooter must have heard him on a
cranky day... maybe he was cranky at the media who
was interviewing him. he's definitely not western
mainstream anymore but neither am i and neither
is scooter. <VBG>

regardless of all that and who or what he might be
now (Yusuf Islam)... my experience of his songs as
"cat" is a celebration... of the great music and the fabulous lyrics...
no more... no less.

namaste,

-tanks
