Third-rate singer/songwriter. Hope he stays out.

I LOVE Cat, but I hate hatred in then name of religion because I am a live and let live person. That is my reservation. In letting Cat in. Why the Hate???

Chalkie said that Stevens has done more positive stuff for Islam than anyone else. Ahem...

Teaser and the Firecat was out in 1971, not in 1970.

I think he will get IN

So happy for Cat Stevens induction. Made some of the best songs of the 70's. Father & Son moves me everytime I hear it.Just timeless classic songs.

I saw a few of his recent concert appearances on You Tube.They were excellent. 1 looked like it was inside a mosque & another in a more traditional concert hall. His longtime friend & guitarist by his side. Cat Stevens one of my FAV singer-songwriters. The RRHOF was right on this induction. KING

Why such a difficult task to find the right person to induct Cat Stevens?

James Taylor? Neil Young? Rod Stewart? Elton John? Billy Joel? Randy Newman?

Oh wait, I sense something...

Barack Obama! And you all know why! The whole Muslim thing with Cat Stevens and people thinking Obama is a Muslim. They can make a joke of it at the ceremony.

Then FOX News will have a field day with it!

Barack Obama inducts Cat Stevens into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame!

Maybe Salman Rushdie of the Satanic Verses and Cat Stevens have patched things up and Rushdie will be the one giving the induction speech for Cat Stevens.

Will Anthony Kiedis induct Cat Stevens?

Dolly Parton is a great songwriter who has often praised Cat Stevens as a great songwriter, in fact she was going to meet Yusef Islam in Nashville when Bush 43 put Yusef Islam on a "do not let him enter" list.

Dolly Parton is on Rolling Stones new list of Top 20 artists who should be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It's looking more and more like it will be Dolly Parton who inducts Cat Stevens.

Posted by Roy on Wednesday, 04/9/2014 @ 17:09pm


Dolly Parton could be this year's Oprah Winfrey.

Art Garfunkel inducts Cat Stevens

The Cat's In The Cradle is not by Cat Stevens, it's by Harry Chapin.
