As for his anti-colonial beliefs........ |

Let it Bleed spoke to me. Ummagumma spoke to me. Chicago Transit Authority spoke to me. Woodstock spoke to me. Band of Gypsies spoke to me. Stand Up spoke to me. Disraeli Gears spoke to me. Zepp II spoke to me. Live at Leeds spoke to me. Morrison Hotel spoke to me. ELP spoke to me. Lizard spoke to me. Gasoline Alley spoke to me. No room for Cat Stevens in that crowd. He was simply too thin, pallid and shallow. Still is. |

Never heard all of those albums until years later. This album still speaks to me. |

Well, you get it. I love Cat's stuff. Don't care about his political/religious beliefs. I just care that his music is good for my ears. I'm with you. |

On_The_Beach Jul 09, 2011 - 21:11 | Still topical today (41 years later) . . . Well I think it's fine, building jumbo planes Or taking a ride on a cosmic train Switch on summer from a slot machine Yes, get what you want to if you want, 'cause you can get anything I know we've come a long way We're changing day to day But tell me, where do the children play? Well you roll on roads over fresh green grass For your lorry loads, pumping petrol gas And you make them long, and you make them tough But they just go on and on, and it seems that you can't get off Oh, I know we've come a long way We're changing day to day But tell me, where do the children play? Well you've cracked the sky, scrapers fill the air But will you keep on building higher till there's no more room up there Will you make us laugh, will you make us cry? Will you tell us when to live, will you tell us when to die? I know we've come a long way We're changing day to day But tell me, where do the children play? |
