Hi Jane,

My post was in reply to Dobes, one post above yours. I apologize for the misunderstanding, and I want to thank you for having the courage to stand up for Cat and place him on your site so prominently.

Warmest Regards,
Louis Glynn

P.S. I can’t believe I made that mistake with positioning my first reply under your post instead of Dobes. Thanks for the opportunity to post at all. LOL

Dear Louis, I wonder who your comment is addressed to…”You really must get over it.” That can’t be for me because I have adored and continue to adore and admire Cat’s/Yucef’s music. xx jane

You really must get over it. Cat Stevens’ music is all about Love, Peace, Children, and the Environment. Never once has his music gone beyond the common grounds of ethics and decency, unlike the trash our children must endure these days. I used Cat Stevens’ music when my children were young to soothe their souls, and prepare them for life in an open and happy world order. Throughout Cat Stevens’ life he has always sought to find understanding of life, love, and the pusuit of happiness, possibly hoping through his music to ask the big questions of all of us to change our ways for the better of humanity. He loves God and works very hard to support excellent charitable causes for victims of catastrophe’s, regardless of their origin, including those actions by tyrants and fanatics. If you are old enough to write this post, you are certainly old enough to know how the US media and various religious institutions will distort the fact for the sake of their own agenda. If you cannot listen to his music anymore sir, it is most certainly your loss.

Respectfully,
Louis

Wow, great things in the future for sustainability. Good to see.

Also very glad to hear how green your home is. I can’t wait for the time that it is affordable to all. I hope in my lifetime that will be in place. It’s so expensive right now.

I read the Koran ages ago and was just as amazed as you are regarding that it is the first ancient religious text in regards to a big religion to consider women as equals.

I applaud your willingness and courage to make such an important speech to a group of people who need to hear it most. I personally believe that we can stop our foreign oil addiction if we invest in domestic developments of environmentally healthy products and biproducts. It would stimulate our economy and bring us back to life.

This was so interesting to read about the symposium about sustainability in Germany and seeing some green products! Thank you for keeping us informed about these issues. I also enjoyed reading about Cat Stevens…Yusuf. I’m glad to know he’s still active making music.

So glad you had fun with your grandchildren! I know you were tired, but every chance you have to be with them is precious, because children grow up so quickly! You’re so nice to let us see pictures of them occasionally! I agree with Krista that Viva resembles you as a child from the pictures I’ve seen in your book. I think Malcolm resembles Vanessa.

Take care of yourself! Try to get some extra sleep before your trip!:)

I shared a short airtrain ride with you last Wednesday. I wanted to tell you how much I have enjoyed your career over the years, but you looked very busy on your Blackberry…now I know why. Please continue your involvement in all your causes…it should encourage us all to participate. By the way, you look great, and such a cute doggie.

Congratulations on your green award. I’ve always admired you as an actress and activist, and gosh, you look great. I’m from the same generation (born in ‘47) and was also a big fan of Cat Stevens, and just as big a fan of Yusuf. I wonder if you discussed the wonderful work he’s done in education with his Islamia Schools in the UK. I believe that his beautiful wife Fauzia is the principal of the flagship girls school.

I believe that info about Salman Rushdie (Cat supporting the fatwa) is false. xx Jane
