I hear you. I went through a weird period when Cat became a rabid Muslim. As an atheist, I find all religions to be nothing more than dangerous nonsense. I was a real fan of Cat's in early '70s, and even used "Morning has Broken" as my wedding song. (OKAY, it WAS 1973, for god's -if you'll pardon the expresion - sake!) I'm a real fan of Rushdie too, and found Cat's position untenable. So I treat him as an artist who's gotten lost, like many before him, Janis with the booze, Jimmy with the drugs, Kurt with the shotgun...Islam is his drug. All I can do is wish him well, and appreciate the music he made before he became ill.

Glorious olde psychedilicke Rocke an' Rolle! Hi-yo, Quicksilver!
