i starting to think that billy corgan has run out of interesting things to to say. tell us that youre going to have a real pumpkins reunion tour, that would be interesting. “the world is dark, i have pain, death death burning napalm”

Erh…When did Corgan ever talk like that?? Can you find a single qoute where he’s being all nihilistic.(dialogue from that “The Simpsons” episode doesn’t count.)

Why he would have Yusuf Islam on is beyond me. Yusuf said “Salman Rushdie, indeed any writer who abuses the prophet or indeed any prophet under Islamic law, the sentence for that is actually death.” This is a man who should be locked up for inciting violence on another human being, not being lauded as a musician on a talk show. Chris Isaak, stand up for human rights and don’t kowtow to Muslims.

Karl,

Yusuf (still Cat Stevens to me) wasn’t offering up a personal opinion on Rushdi. He was offering analysis of a particular interpretation of strict Islamic law, which he apparently doesn’t subscribe to.

Always a good idea to do a little pre-spewing research.

Why not Google what Yusuf has been up to the last thirty years?… see how your life compares.

I’m betting his guest spot will be part of a great show.

The first show was great. Am anticipating Yusaf Islam, once Cat Stevens, back on the music scene, as well as Smashing Pumpkins.

Let me guess- Billy Corgan will talk about how he doesnt give a shit if he’s famous and everyone better be paying attention when he says that.

why dont people listen to what yusuf has to say in his interviewsas an individual be fore saying “dont kowtow to muslims”as though every muslim has the same thoughts
