So
Yusuf Islam continues on his comeback to pop culture with a new album
"An Other Cup" (first in 28yrs, released last year) and by performing during
Live Earth Concert at Hamburg. Leading up to the concert
Fox News ran a special attacking Islam, portraying the man as a terrorist, a US hater and claimed that he is on a "watch" list and "no fly" list. He is not on any list. Why is the man with numerous peace awards being attacked so much? and are these attacks influential enough to have his stage name shortened to just
Yusuf? He has been misquoted and bullied into making comments he does not support. Regardless of what the West makes him out to be,
his music is classic. Just listen to
Peace Train. PBS aired a documentary that clears the air and calls any allegations against him comical. Good program, but I can't find it anywhere. (if you know of it let me know).
Well, I'm certain there is a lot that could be made about him, his music, his life and statements, I don't think hes' a "great" man but a good man and deserving of some peace like the rest of us, but forget all that and listen to his music, it's less stressful.
