Hi Folks, I am wondering if anyone has any updated information about Yusuf's appearance on the 'Charlie Rose Show', or if the interview was even conducted. It seems that the program sometimes tapes a show well in advance of airing, and I hope that this proves to be the case with Yusuf. In the meanwhile, as we wait, here is a nice photo of Yusuf from Charlie's website: www.charlierose.com/guest/view/6655Thanks, everyone!  -Bud |

Bud - I have to admit that I had forgotten about that. I went online to see if I could find something and no luck. Hopefully that episode will surface and air soon.

Many thanks, Jane. I'll continue to keep a check on PBS' daily listings and I'll be sure to post something here if this much anticipated program ever comes to be! -Bud |

Charlie Rose is also on here at 12:30, but it doesn't say Yusuf is on, so I'm recording it just in case. HOPEFULLY!!!
Peace,Vivian

Charlie's webpage doesn't list Yusuf... but I'll record it like I always do anyway! In fact I get 2 shows, one around midnight and one the next morning and I think they're different shows.

Not sure why, Yusuf is not showing as being on the show tonight, it was showing this morning when I posted the link  I would think I was going mad, but on myspace and facebook, Yusuf has mentioned that he will be on tonight! |

Maybe it's because different PBS stations show different shows.
I know the PBS station out of Kent, Ohio is showing Charlie Rose and it is announcing Yusuf as being on the show at 12:30 am. The PBS station out of Athens, Ohio, is not showing the Charlie Rose show. So, I guess... just check a few different PBS listings in your television viewing area.

Oh my station is showing Charlie Rose, but it's not showing Yusuf as being a guest, so I'm just hoping.

It is being aired at 1:00pm this afternoon here in Minneapolis. Both the DVR and DVD recorder are set up. I was hoping Yusuf would be the only guest on the show, but it should still be a good interview.

Thank you so much for giving us the original heads-up on this, SuzieQ. So far, Yusuf is not listed as appearing tonight (July 28) on the PBS outlet here (WNET) in the greater New York/New Jersey viewing area. And, as I am viewing this thread for the very first time now, I didn't take the opportunity watch Charlie last night (July 27), and so I don't know if he appeared on the program, or not. Mawa, here's hoping that he did appear on your Indiana outlet last night, and that you caught the show... Viv and mckenzy, I hope that you saw him, as well... Christine, I hope that you, too, were able to see him last evening in Ohio... and, Jane, I've got my fingers crossed that he does appear on your Minneapolis station today. Oh, heck, I hope we all get to see our man (THE man!) on Charlie R.!  -Bud |

Disappointed - got email alerts that he would be on, double-checked the CR website and the TV grid listings. All had Yusuf, Hugh Masekela, and Andrew Exum listed as the evening's guests. But instead there was 1/2 hour with Exum followed by a New York Times writer. Went back to CR.com and Yusuf and Hugh were no longer listed. Wish they'd post some kind of message as to when they intend to reschedule guests when they bump their segment, regardless of who it is.

OK well he wasn't on my local PBS station last night (local for me being Washington DC area) and he wasn't on today at noon either, even though he was scheduled for today (not last night) in my local listings. Sooo I called my local PBS station and asked when or if it would ever air. They told me to call Charlie Rose's production company, in NY, so I did. They told me to call the Charlie Rose people (whoever they are!) also in NY, and they told me to keep checking listings and it should air THIS WEEK. Do I believe it? I'll only believe it when I'm actually watching him! I'm a sucker, so I will keep checking not only the listings and the website, but also I'll tune in when the show comes on, but I don't know what good the listings or the website will actually do since they've told us before it was going to air and didn't. *sigh* I wonder if our good man Yusuf knows what we go through!? (smile!)

hmmmm? Yusuf is still not showing up in the line up for the Charlie Rose show on either of my PBS stations.
Edited: my pbs TV station has just updated the listing to say (NEW 2009) so hopefully this means Yusuf will be on it. :-)

Considering that Yusuf's scheduled appearance is actually listed on Charlie Rose's website for the very first time gives me a positive feeling... I really think that it's going to be a 'go' this time. But heed thee well, PBS: if the 'go' turns out to be a 'no go', we all reserve the right to 'have a go' at 'ol Charlie. All of my fingers (not to mention, several of my toes) are (tightly) crossed.  -Bud |

Booooo Hooooo!  It only airs on LPB2, which my satillite service doesn't get. I looked in my local paper and there was no mention of the Charlie Rose show tonight!  (I spoke too soon earlier) I called the lady at LPB (Margaret) and she said she would send me a dub of the show!! She was really nice and said she became a big fan of Cat Stevens when she was in high school. Her English teacher turned her on to him by using his lyrics as examples in their descriptive writing class! That Cat sure does get around!!! ;D She also said the show could be watched on the CR website, but she wasn't sure how long after the broadcast it would become available...Oh well, guess I have to wait for it to come in the mail. That's okay, I can just add it to my collection!! Works for me!! |

Well, Lucy and Richina, if this does, indeed, f-i-n-a-l-l-y happen, I will happily throw open my window and exclaim to the world: "The bloom is back on the Rose... all is forgiven, Charlie!". If not, well... it's "pot knot" city (I loved that, Richina!) for Charlie and PBS. -Bud |

But time really does fly, and I know that you'll have that treasured copy of the program in your hands before you know it! It was so interesting what you wrote about the woman at the TV station having come to know Cat and his music through her descriptive writing class in high school. That is _exactly_ how I first came to learn about Cat, myself, scant days before the very first time I heard him (singing "Peace Train") over the radio. One day, I noticed a stack of ditto sheets (remember those?) on my English classroom's window counter which listed lyrics to several Cat Stevens songs. It's purpose? To help the teacher teach creative writing! -Bud |

I'm sure that English teacher must have definitely been a 'turned on' CAT fan. It won't surprise me if Cat/ Yusuf writings should become a topic of discussion more often in schools today. A lesson we here, would all excell in. |
