my "beef" would be that the royalties for this go to Yusuf Islam, not Cat Stevens.

Anyway, yer man produced this album before he got the beard, so what's the beef?

Excellent song from an excellent album. I won't mention his mental illness.

Really? We can't just hear a good song without going into some stupid Religion vs whatever tantrum below? Come on! He said pick up the good book now. My vote is make that your good book of choice. He didn't say what book it has to be! Enough with world religions, making the world 1 crappy place to live. There is nothing about killing people like the posts below, in this song.
Breath! This is a good musician. Everyone has crazy thoughts sometimes. It's not like he is a politician killing people. Remember "W?" Besides, last time he tried to fly into America, His plane got turned around. The song title is "On The Road To Find Out"
Quick History lesson: Cat Stevens has been given several awards for his work in promoting peace in the world, including the 2003 World Award, the 2004 Man for Peace Award, and the 2007 Mediterranean Prize for Peace. He is working for peace. Where is the flaw with that?
What is wrong with letting this artist do just that? This is Cat's old classics and it's good. That is it. =)

From what I've seen and heard, Yusuf Islam is a man of peace - and a great singer/songwriter!

The artist himself brought politics and theology into the equation when he said "He must be killed. The Qur'an makes it clear - if someone defames the prophet, then he must die." Sorry, but if you want to kill people for writing a book you don't like...you're nobody to me. Please Bill, don't play this guy's music anymore.
