It must be gratifying for Yusuf to see the younger generations (and, heck, everybody!) enjoy his music as much as ever.

[@marcyking461]

I doubt the younger generations realize how truly lucky they are to see Cat Stevens/Yusuf in the flesh. He is a true legend in our own time and he has been for the past 50 years. So many great artists have come and gone over the years. I remember when Cat Steven's was being boycotted for wanting to follow his heart, and I couldn't bring myself to suffer the sacrifice of giving up his music. I'm happy to see that people have come to their senses and finally accepted Yusuf's life choices. To each their own, I say. In the meantime, I will always be grateful to Yusuf, or Cat, or whoever the man sees himself as for the gift's he has/is given/giving us all in his music.
