thanks for the Gawkowski link, that version is better than the original. Of course someone needed to grab hold of those forgotten songs and give them life, since poor Cat Stevens tragically died in 1977. (the sad creature that inhabits that body today has nothing in common with Cat Stevens)

I see the cultural world transforming into a loosely connected collection of inward looking interest groups. Finding a market will be done by one’s affiliation with one of these groups, but any kind of cross-pollination will be quite difficult to achieve. The lamentable part is that there is going to be no such thing as a common culture or common values anymore, and so the long term cohesiveness of society is probably at risk.
