Re: Patti appears w/ Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens) on "Morning Becomes Eclectic" (live today: 11:15 am PDST)

Bob,
Thanks for the very helpful information; I was ignorant of YI's
beliefs.  Hearing that Mr. Peace Train has troubling views of women's
rights disappoints me profoundly, as I wholeheartedly embrace absolute
equality.  I should probably leave it at that, but I'll add that the
whole beekeeper suit trip doesn't seem evolved to me relative to more
progressive gender roles; so I couldn't complain if you meant "pig" as
in "sexist pig"; I can imagine Patti calling him that.  And I imagine
we agree that the subset of fundamentalists on all sides who also
embrace violence, and warmonger, even further darken our skies.
