When i was 14 i heard Cat for the first time with lady D'Arbanville,this emotive song was then the start for more.Every money i got (pocketmoney,babysiting)was for his lp's.I did'ent even had a recordplayer.My neigbur and friend put them on cassette for me and finaly my mom gived me my first recordplayer.And every lp that was coming out from him was welcome and turned grey.At that time i translated the songs with my dictionary to learn what he was singing about(i'm dutch)This was the only music that i discovered myself not by friends.I must say that noone of my friends were listing to him.Ten i heard that he was stopped and the accusations on tv but i never believed that a person like Cat with such true peacefull and warm music could do such things.They never give him a real chanse in the press and i think he was tired of all that.But in 2001 i saw a documentary on a local tvstation and i was so happy after seeing it.After that i found Cat.com and Majicat and yes Yusuf is back .You see Yusuf live is that of a peacefull man with only the best intentions.You see his son (Yoriyos)they bringed him up with lots of love and the toughts that peace is the most importend value in live.He is doing the same as his father coming up for peace with his music and alot more.He was on his road to find out and you only can see the good results after all.And stop with your shortsichtning and slandering and open your eyes.Have a open mindEndoscopises
I made my own way-a long time ago
Packed a book and pen-to draw my own road
I started with a line-and to the distance i went
But i nevertought i'd ever endup where i have
Many souls i've met-and many a one have told
That the journey of live-willlead you to unfold
The secrets of existence-the reason for living
But i still haven't found the happiness i'm missing
It'sso easy to talk about-but much harder to find
Wisdom doesn't come with age-IT COMES WITH A OPEN MIND
Now i've been searching hard- i've travveled many miles
But the truth isn't something you grow up believing
IT'S SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO FIND
I've been alone for so long-and a long long time ago
I left in search of Peace and Truth-i left to find home
I still have Faith and Hope-one day i will see
When i found myself- that YOU'll come and find me
This are the words of Yoriyos Mohamed Yusf's son.I don't see nothing about militant Islamisme rather a unity for working for peace .Do your eyes open guy and see with a open mind.
