He had some great stuff before he denounced music and became a follower of Allah..
Whatcha wanna bet he starts making bully pulpit statements on stage about how muslims are being “misunderstood”? Looks like I may have to buy a new TV Monday.
This entire thing is nonsense, and I would be more than happy to start a boycott of anyone associated with it.
I agree,I liked some of his music,but I won’t even bother with it nowadays !!!
“Mr Islam doesn’t speak with women except his wife. Least of all if they don’t wear a headscarf. Things like that only happen via an intermediary.”

But how much does he get paid to sing to the same women???
Ya know, that’s the problem with working for a living. I have no idea who Xzibit is or electronica artist Kenna.
I’m just hoping that it doesn’t rain here tomorrow, so I can cut my lawn,
Sheesh!
So, this gains exactly what for the planet? Will the 800 years of warming (way before pollution) stop? Will Al Gore’s gigantic environmental footprint decrease? Will they leave the arenas as clean as they found them? Why do I feel like this is political posturing gone out of control? Global warming is a fallacy. What the heck is wrong with people that they’d believe some greasy loonie toon like Gore instead of NASA scientists?
Here’s a clip of Cat Stevens (34 years ago) singing “Morning Has Broken”

I have no idea who Xzibit is or electronica artist Kenna.
They must be BIG if they are playing algore’s concert!
Here’s a bio of Exhibit, er Xzibit:
West Coast heavyweight Xzibit expanded his following with a series of increasingly superstar-laced albums beginning in the late ‘90s, ultimately aligning himself with Cali kingpin Dr. Dre at the decade’s end. Years before, Xzibit began as a member of the Likwit Crew, a loose collective of West Coast rappers including tha Alkaholiks and King T.
Wow, I’m impressed!
I’m sure you are aware that the DMB is involved with this farce.
Get ready to sleep folks!
Catty is disgusting psychotic fool...before and after submittting to Satan.
Colmes was loudly defending ol’ Cat/Yusef on H&C. It always cracks me up when Colmes, supposedly Jewish, defends Muslim terrorists and their supporteds.
This is as good as it gets for Al Gore. Pretty soon this whole swindle will implode, and Mr. Alpha Male (snicker!) with it.
(Why Cat Stevens was kept out) US accuses British charity of ‘financing terrorism’

A British charity has been accused by the American government of financing Osama bin Laden, al-Qaeda and the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas.
The Islamic Relief Agency (ISRA), which is based in Birmingham and provides aid for orphanages and water wells in countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, has been designated by the United States treasury as being part of a network of “terrorist” charities that have allegedly “provided hundreds of thousands of dollars to Osama bin Laden”.
The Telegraph has also discovered that Yusuf Islam, the singer formerly known as Cat Stevens who was refused entry to America last September because his name was on a security watch list, has previously donated thousands of pounds to the Birmingham charity.
The reason for his exclusion has never been publicly revealed, but last night American officials indicated that the entertainer’s funding of the ISRA was one of the reasons for him being banned. Mr Islam has always denied financing terrorism.
British security services are now investigating the finances of the charity, which last year reported an income of £479,000, and are under pressure from the Americans to freeze the charity’s bank accounts.
The concern about the British charity’s activities is disclosed in documents published by the US Treasury’s office of public affairs. It states that a charity called the Islamic African Relief Agency (IARA), which has its headquarters in the Sudan “was co-founded and financed by Osama bin Laden and is the precursor organisation of al-Qaeda”. It says that this charity is linked with, or has interchangeable names, with a number of other charities, including the ISRA in Britain.......
Thanks for the background. You might as well have written it in hieroglyphics. Strange thing is that I’m a musician, albeit an old one (haven’t performed in a couple of years), jazz primarily, and I do try to follow pop music, yet I’ve never heard of these folks.
Guess I better stop listening to Limbaugh and tune into what is hip!
Ya know, I have this funny feeling that this “ALGORE” concert thing is going to be a big bust. Just like everything else this jabloney has ever tried.
