smooth--i quite liked that quote, and considered pasting it here seperately.
you know, if the americans were to equate bad pop music with terrorism, things would be easier to bear--that way, if any country band left the country, they would not be able to return. it would be a way to thin out the bluegrass scene. maybe the program directors of the major american orchestras, too--the people who inflict the same nineteenth century warhorse repertoire on all of us year after year--clearly they too should be sent packing. and the boy bands. and limp bizkit, who could be sent to that special circle of hell they so richly deserve to roast in. we could rid ourselves of green day.
seriously, cat stevens is no more a "terrorist" than you are. his "crime" might well have been that he converted to islam. or maybe it was the record of muslim children's songs he made after he converted. quite a threat to america, that.
