cat Stevens

regarding that last post, i recall walking around Singapore in early 1996, visiting my sister Raquel there, i was exploring mosques one day while she was at work, listening to some moslem chanting on the radio / walkman, it turned out to be cat Stevens! The one and the same. About 9 years later, almost to the day i suppose, a news story filtered to me while living in communist China, a jumbo jet from London carrying cat Stevens was en route to nyc and turned around i think by presidential decree, i guess on the say so from the cia. It was exquisitely humorous although i never laughed about it until now and then just a lungful of air. Poor cat Stevens! He's given the world so much great music though.
i hope my father and sisters' souls are doing ok in the afterlife, i read souls of suiciders spend a long time after physical death moping around, like even decades. Don't really know.
