I still listen to cat Stevens greatest hits. I've been listening to him for 50 years and I absolutely think they are one of the best album compilations ever. I don't care if he's a bit weird or peculiar by our standards here in America. He's done his thing and we do our thing. Live and let live!

i prefer the old cat.... his voice, his personnality, his aura !!!

Cat Stevens was sooooo handsome in the day. And that voice. Love his music!

[@Delilah70]

Oooh yes !

[@robmac6508]

Fascinating, filmed on his 1972 Australian tour.

[@BigSky1]

Why the music? So annoying! Surely what he is saying is relevant.

[@shyman99]

He speaks through his music

[@220773]

Why not? Annoying? Cat's music???

[@fritzcat6198]

I’m sorry, but I have to say it. This man oozed sensuality. He must have had a million women throwing themselves at him constantly. Couple that with his honesty, riveting gaze and you have a masterpiece. Yup, this man is and was a moving masterpiece.

[@jamsalot9611]

Now he gets stopped at airports for other reasons

[@Bottled-Soap]

That’s wild

IMMENSO CAT STEVENS...💓😻💓

[@Ponchiegomezsaso]

I love this interview, I love when he says .."I have a fantastic voice , I know it, ❤️ I feel an obligation to myself and to people to try and share myself maybe as honestly as I can. I listen to my future more than I do my past my past is what I stand on my future is what I jump at." ❤️ in his twenties he was wise Beyond his years.

[@oullahtakanbghikhbibadialiawil]

sandra, i miss the old cat 😞

[@Ponchiegomezsaso]

He is still with us just a little bit older, like all of us ❤️

[@oullahtakanbghikhbibadialiawil]

@@Ponchiegomezsaso yes but his voice changed and he used to sing while moving his head and shaking all his body remember "foreigner suite" live ! he used to be in ecstasy

Great job Neal. Enjoyed it. i lived downtown for 20 years and love the city. Long form interviews like this give insight into Chicago culture. I'm glad that you, unlike others who have interviewed Cooley, gave proper attention to Bob's adventures with Count Dante. Good luck with the TV show, it'd make a great one!

THE CAT REMINDS ME OF ALI G

[@maxwellfan55]

Cat Stevens lucid, engaging, articulate, questioning. Making a whole lot more sense in his creative former years than he does now, buried in the denial, confusion, and indulgence of a fundamentalist religion. Shows too, it's usually getting there that's meaningful and relevant, not happens after you get there.

[@sassyisasi]

yeah he has been weird. religion will do that.. but i just went to marbella spain to see him in june though. his music is amazing. i hadnt seen him since NYC 70-71 with my mom !! love him. hate religion. doesnt help ,,peace

Sometimes I find his interviews a bit too simplicistic. He hardly speaks of anecdotes, things that happened in his playground when he was a toddler, things concerning life behind his gigs, even things that happened during the gigs, he even hardly speaks of his music and how it was recorded, I mean technical details... in his interviews he's constantly asked about his choices, his faith, not much the way he built his lyrics but only what he meant through that... so that his interviews become a bit too boring for me and even his English seems so much reduced to simple words I can hardly believe he's a Londoner... Just for this reason, he's been asked about his 'path' thousands of times and he's always said he did what he was called for... always. I think he should let his music speak for himself here and start telling us a bit more about earthly stuff, like any other artist does.

[@marymarysmarket3508]

He comes off a bit of a stooge here

Playing the celebrity rock star? Did you hear him speak? He’s lucid and direct. Human without pretension of celebrities. What you perceive are your own inadequacies when measured with his obvious enlightenment state of being.
