Morning Has Broken


Cat Steven’s “Tea for the Tillerman” album is one of the most beautiful compilations of music in the history of the freaking planet.
And then came the Iranian hostage crises and the Iranian Revolution and American ignorance and Cat a British citizen of Greek and Swedish origin converted to Islam auctioned off all his guitars and changed his name to Yusuf Islam and went about trying to promote peace in the world as American got drunk and played discus with his album.
In a land of democracy we are not real good tolerating differences and dissent. This current war the Dixie Chicks became the enemy during Vietnam it was Country Joe and the Fish.
Born in the USA by Bruce is a major protest of Vietnam but no one realizes it they just run around screaming Bruce and Born in the USA not realizing the message.
The quote from “draft resister” Muhammad Ali remains one of my favorites.
“Ain’t no Vietcong ever call me nigger”.
Listen to the Cat Stevens music utube linked below. That’s what I’m talking about!
