I thought the whole thing about Cat Stevens was a bit much...it's not like 
anyone played his songs much anyway...sort of like banning Slim 
Whitman.  Heard him on Rockline a few years ago & as I recall he said his 
remarks were take way out of context.  It may have been an attempt to put a 
spin on the whole controversy, but it's not like he was trying to salvage a 
career or anything.
