To lighten my post-election blues, I’m listening to Cat Steven’s “Morning Has Broken” on my I-Pod.

Cat Stevens? The former Cat Stevens, now Yusuf Islam, who applauded the death fatwa on Salman Rushdie and has been unable to voice a wholehearted condemnation of Islamic terrorism since 9/11? That Cat Stevens? Yeah, that’s a sweet track.
…Oh, I’m sorry! Did I harsh your mellow just then…?
Sanity,
Oh, silly me! Now I remember what he was up to. On second thought, I’m just preparing for the inevitable.
Aint he on the no-fly list? Aint that grand?
To lighten my post-election blues, I’m destroying all my Cat Steven’s CDs.
It kind of makes you forget politics for 4 minutes and seven seconds:

Or as one YouTube commenter puts it:
Just checked iTunes: It’s not on Salman Rushdie’s playlist.
Isn’t that song a Shaker hymn?
Shit there goes my theory that Rushdie was that commenter on youTube. Any “Right Brothers” on his list?
What is it about artists and their foibles?
Michael Jackson–boy love
Bono–tax evasion
Lil’ Kim–something with guns
Ike Turner–wife beater
K-Fed–well, there ought to be a law
Dixie Chicks–Ditto
The list is endless.
I’ve started looking ahead 2 years from now and listening to a little Priest, You’ve Got Another Thing Comming, ironically off the Screamming For Vengance album.
Hmmm. I once had a few liters of good Heidelberg local beer and sang that song to a whole table of middle aged German women. I think they got a kick out it… man, that was good beer.
