I'm one of those ex-hippies now in my 70's that loved Cat's early work, especially his songs that revealed part of his own spiritual journey, which many of us were also experiencing at that time. My go to song in the morning is of course "Morning Has Broken" and have told my sons to make sure that is played at my memorial service. One of my favorite lines in that song is "Praise with elation, praise every morning, God's recreation of the new day". I like to think that the Creator and Sustainer of the universe is joyfully working every new morning... as if it were "playtime"... and we get to be playmates, working and playing in harmony with our Sustainer as we together make each day special for ourselves and the world. Glad to see Yusuf/Cat is back on the scene bringing his creative talents back to the playground!

I love the idea of bridging differences and lowering the inherent ignorance in people about each other with music. That what it was created for. Bards of mediaeval times brought people of the tribe together with their talents. Now the audience is global and challenging. Talented people who realise their position is an opportunity to bring more goodness, kindness, generosity through their example is admirable. Most people understand politics and economic system of any kind is not here to jell people into amicable cooperation. It is more likely with education through art, ordinary relationships, talks, and work together on projects which have no one sided self-interest in their agenda. Peace train and other peace initiatives are essential as people who remember dread of conflicts of the past and present are passing away. More people realise we are very similar in our needs in life, and belief is a personal choice, more understanding and acceptance there will be, hopefully. Keep going.

I agreed with so much that Yusuf said. I love the messages in his songs and many artists songs. I tend to think that they happened for a reason and can touch many souls for a reason. I have Epilepsy and also had to have surgery to save my life at a younger age. I've wondered before why I was chosen for that. I later found out that I'm related to Prince John who sadly passed in 1919 from a seizure. Many are related to the Royals and don't have Epilepsy, so why was I chosen to have it? Personally, I believe that answer is unknown just as the answer to some being in good health and having the ability to touch more lives through music, etc. is unknown. I think that the unknown is unknown for a reason and that reason is soo great that no title can truly explain it. I find beauty in multiple Religions, so my thoughts are why argue? It's like he said...people don't want to hear preaching. Religions give people hope though. That is the one thing that I RESPECTFULLY disagree with Yusuf on because he made it sound as if there is no hope. After his illness, etc. he found a Religion that helped him and gave him hope. Personally, I believe that sort of thing happens for a reason. Still, I understand that he's probably tired, like many who are well known because money can be used the wrong way and it over takes some but there IS hope. Money can also help the homeless have a place to sleep, it can pay for food, bills, etc. Hope is a beautiful thing or I think it is and is something that was meant to be. Just as his music is meant to be because it helps create hope. Everyone sees life differently, everyone experiences different things though. How could anyone know EXACTLY how another feels, etc. unless they are infact in their shoes? Many today ARE confused but many aren't and are simply misunderstood. Just as he was once misunderstood and needed hope to hold onto. What can help fix many things today is peace and understanding so I say bring back the peace train. Let morning break once more! Ride that peace train again, ride it for the people. Remind us all that we are beautiful and should live life the way that brings us joy. The way that helps! Life can be hard,life can be confusing but the peace train is open to all! May it NEVER run off the tracks and continue to give people something to hold onto. PeAcE

Jesus is God incarnate, He is not a profit or a preacher, He is a gift God the Father gave us as the only sacrifice He would accept as the atonement for our sin. When we as sinners (all of us) finally realize that we can not work or earn our way to heaven and that Jesus is indeed "THE WAY" and that no one comes to the father except thru Him, and we ask for Him to be our life, to enter into a personal and authentic eternity changing relationship with us, our sins are forgiven and covered by the blood sacrifice He is and we are able to enter the kingdom of Heaven for all eternity. By the way, I love Cat Steven's older music....Thank you.

I love cat steven's music, but its not about we are not religious, or think he is religious and not "modern" and we are not, it is simply that many people are happy with their religion and dont want to change just because cat stevens was not himself happy with his religion (which by the way, he never practiced orthodox cristianity) and decided to adopt islam, for us it is not a problem, religion is an individual choice, we are happy that he found something that he felt was worth following, and he felt happy about it, but many christians or other religions are happy and practice their religion, just because cat stevens in his youth completly ignored christian values and did not apply them to his behaviour while he was a musician it doesnt mean that they dont exist, he simply choose to ignore them, like many people with an islamic backgroud or jewish background who actually dont follow their religion values of peace and respecting others etc...I am a happy christian Catholic and I love everyone, muslim, jewish, etc.
