Misunderstood

"But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood"

"Don't Let me be Misunderstood", Yusuf Islam, Formerly Cat Stevens

Sometimes I like to borrow CD's to see if I like enough of the songs to buy the whole CD or decide if I want to simply download a few of the songs from iTunes. I recently borrowed a CD from a dear friend (who shall remain nameless since I'm about to bash the CD - but you know who you are and I love you nonetheless!). It was Cat Stevens', I mean Yusuf Islam's, newest release - a CD cleverly entitled "An Other Cup". I always liked Cat Stevens old stuff though I had never purchased any of his music. I thought I'd give the CD a chance while we were cooking breakfast this morning.

I liked a few of the songs, sort of. But overall, I just really didn't care for it. Too sappy. Too dreary. Perfect if you are in a deep depression, which I hope to avoid at all costs - including the cost of ongoing therapy.

With some assistance from Doc. B., we decided that Yusuf's intentions were good, but that the name of the CD should have been "The Artist Formerly Known as Cat Stevens, needs money". As Doc. B. says, "nuf said".
