Yusuf Islam has exploded onto the scene at "Live Earth". I guess Al Gore invited him. While he's at it--- why not invite the "Unabomber"?

Yusuf Islam has exploded onto the scene at "Live Earth". I guess Al Gore invited him. While he's at it--- why not invite the "Unabomber"?
I don’t think Unabomber sings as well as the-artist-formerly-known-as-Cat-Stevens.
The Islamist Yusuf will be surrounded by people (leftists) that share a similar longing: the destruction of Western civilization.
Isnt this the buttwipe who isnt allowed in the US any more?? Nice Company Al keeps.
I hear also Spinal tap YUP SPINAL TAP
BTW, why is he performing? His brand of mooseslimes are dead against singing and music, which is why he had not recorded in decades. Are they making an exception? Why?
Rather chilling on the face of it. Seems like we know who likes algore and his ilk. ...
the lure of capitalism couldn’t be denied and he is cashing in.
Yusuf longs for the day when Islam is freed from the dirty oil money that the decadent Christian crusaders bring while enslaving Muslims who live in oil-rich countries.
Therefore, Yusuf wants us all to stop using oil, both to save the earth and save our souls.
Peace train....
i don’t care for his music any more
when i happen upon it in the car with the fm on.
Well that settles it right there. I’m going. Anybody got a ticket to Hamburg?
the snooty, uppity, nasal
sounds over at npr
just grate on my nerves!
i listen to rush and rock and roll. i like 1980s because i’m not tired of it yet.
Hey Gore, we know the difference between people going to hear music for free, and people committed to your cause. Do the rant without music and you'd be hard pressed to fill a college library reading room.
Al Gore was his idol.
I don't know about the rest of the gang but I was kinda looking forward to spending the weekend doing cracks about rock stars taking their private jets halfway round the world to tell the little people why they need to sell the second-hand Honda Civic and get back on the bus. But to be honest my heart's not in berating the rock colossi for their carbon footprints of clay. The way this thing's going it looks like, thanks to Al Gore, all-star charity galas will be joining the polar bears on his endangered species list.
I want to bequeath the wonders of this earth to the next generation, but I worry that my grandchildren will never know the feeling that you've totally demonstrated your tremendous concern and commitment to taking action just by going to a concert and staying until halfway through the George Michael set when he started doing stuff from the new album. I worry that my grandchildren will never know the thrill of being hectored by Bono and Bob Geldof, and that many already rare species will simply vanish from the earth - Seventies supergroups who've not yet had a long-awaited charity-gala reunion, hot young acts who haven't had the chance to cover "Imagine" with the lights down and everybody in the stadium holding disposable lighters, Eighties girl groups who've not yet reunited for a Playboy shoot, the last three celebrities who haven't duetted with Elton John, bald-headed Eagles doing the 50th anniversary performance of "Hotel California"...
On the other hand, if Cat Stevens goes down well, Jihad Aid might have legs.
BTW, where is the FR Live Thread as this mega-event travels the globe?
Like, any self-respecting FReeper would even click on it if it were posted? Well, maybe we would, if only to make the same kind of satirical comments Mark Steyn did. The liberals never fail to provide us with bountiful targets for derision.
Perfect example of the “Unholy Alliance” between Islamofascism and the New Left.
