En este episodio de La Teoría de la Mente, nos adentramos en el universo emocional de la adolescencia a través de una de las canciones más icónicas de la década de los 70: Father and Son de Cat Stevens. ¿Cómo es el viaje desde la juventud rebelde hasta la madurez? Exploramos esta cuestión tomando como referencia no solo la profunda letra de esta obra, sino también la transformación personal de su autor, quien luego se convertiría en Yusuf Islam. La canción presenta una conversación intergeneracional, un padre que busca proteger a su hijo de los errores de la vida, y un hijo que anhela seguir su propio camino, rebelándose ante las normas impuestas. Este diálogo se convierte en el centro de nuestra reflexión sobre las dinámicas familiares, la búsqueda de identidad y los desafíos que enfrentamos al salir del “paraíso” de la infancia. Reflexión sobre la Canción: Analizamos el origen de Father and Son, inicialmente escrita para una obra de teatro sobre la Revolución Rusa, y cómo sus temas de rebeldía y tensión intergeneracional resuenan hasta el día de hoy. ¿Qué lecciones podemos aprender de la relación entre padres e hijos cuando el hijo siente que necesita desobedecer para encontrarse? ¿Es posible reconciliar estos conflictos? ️ El Arquetipo de Spiderman y la Rebeldía Adolescente: Llevamos esta conversación más allá, conectando la experiencia del hijo de Father and Son con un superhéroe que encarna el arquetipo del adolescente rebelde: Spiderman. ¿Qué tiene en común Spiderman con un joven que busca su independencia? Ambos desean hacer el bien, pero operan al margen de las normas establecidas, enfrentándose a la incomprensión y las dudas de las figuras de autoridad. ¡Descubre cómo este paralelismo nos ayuda a entender mejor las tensiones internas que vivimos al crecer! El Viaje de Cat Stevens a Yusuf Islam: No podemos hablar de Father and Son sin mencionar la increíble transformación de Cat Stevens. Hablamos sobre su casi trágico accidente en el océano que lo llevó a replantearse su vida, su conversión al islam, y su retiro de la música durante más de 30 años. ¿Cómo este viaje refleja la necesidad de romper con el pasado para encontrar un nuevo sentido? Además, analizamos cómo su regreso a la música, influenciado por su hijo, simboliza una reconciliación entre su fe y su arte. Crecimiento y Contradicciones: Este episodio es una invitación a reflexionar sobre las contradicciones que enfrentamos en la vida, sobre la importancia de abrazar tanto a Spiderman como al policía dentro de nosotros mismos, y cómo el crecimiento implica aprender a navegar entre la rebeldía y las reglas. Crecer no es sencillo, y a veces implica romper normas, pero siempre debemos buscar el equilibrio entre ser fieles a quienes somos y encontrar nuestro lugar en el mundo. Acompáñanos en este viaje a través de la música, la filosofía y las historias personales, y descubre cómo Father and Son sigue resonando como un himno para todos aquellos que alguna vez se sintieron incomprendidos en su proceso de maduración.

Good morning! The anticipation for this week's episode is palpable. Unfortunately, we don't know what record we are covering today.   So, before we get to the album, we tentatively jump into a mosh pit of live concert discussion with some ticket-buying advice, a breakdown of Def Leppard's hits, and an address about whether it's okay to wear a band's T-shirt to a concert. We also celebrate a game-winning shot, relive the Olympic viewing experience, and order some meat thermometers for a B-to-B experience even Randy Moss would call a disgusting act. Rob, one big nut or one tiny nut?   Then at (57:00), the podcast gets stronger, and we become the best podcast about Kanye West and the 204th greatest album of all time, Graduation. We discuss the stadium rock influence on this album, the records that influenced Kanye, and whether this album changed perspectives on what is possible in rap music (at least according to Wikipedia).    Next week will be a wild world when we become the best Cat Stevens podcast and best Yusuf Islam podcast and discuss Tea for the Tillerman.

They were tortured by police, who elicited confessions illegally they were given 40 million dollar settlement but this is a sick case man! Just goes to show how sadistic some people are like #traitorTrump. KEEP ON ROCKING ME BABY!

Am 21.7.1948 wurde Yusuf/Cat Stevens geboren. "Morning has Broken", "Wild World", "Father and Son": die Liste seiner Welthits ist lang. Autorin: Melahat Simsek Von Melahat Simsek.

A wonderfully lush and layered debut, Mole is awash with ideas. Maryam Said's Poolblood project arrive with a truck full of ideas and a reverence for pop rock. Said's religious upbringing offered little access to secular music, though Yusuf Islam's (née Cat Stevens) gentle folk rock managed to slip through. A later embrace of artists like Fiona Apple, Nick Drake and Apples in Stereo, however, left an indelible imprint of the songwriting that populates this first LP. It's an album about relationships, and learning to lean into inevitable discomforts. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

If you're "letting someone go" but you're really just trying to frighten them into staying with you, how much of a shitbag are you? Probably a big one. The guys take on Yusuf Islam's Wild World... the song that may have spurned the song I'm Just A Girl by No Doubt.

British artist Yusuf Islam held his first concerts in Turkiye, Istanbul and Ankara. We had a pleasant conversation with Islam, also known as Cat Stevens, on the Anadolu Agency podcast.

*) PM Truss resigns as UK political turmoil deepens amid new election demand British Prime Minister Liz Truss has dramatically announced her resignation just six weeks after taking office. Truss bowed to the inevitable after her right-wing platform of tax cuts disintegrated and many MPs among the ruling Conservatives revolted. Speaking in Downing Street, Truss said she would stay on as prime minister until a successor is chosen to serve as Tory leader. *) Israeli troops kill Palestinian youth, wound three in West Bank Israeli troops have killed a Palestinian youth and wounded three others in the occupied West Bank, Palestine's Health Ministry said. The ministry said the 19-year-old suffered a mortal wound in the neck, while three others were wounded by live gunshots to their limbs. The violence happened as Israeli forces staged an arrest raid in Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank that has been a flash point in recent fighting. *) Bloodbath as Chad forces kill scores in protests Security forces in Chad opened fire on anti-government demonstrators in the country's two largest cities killing at least 60 people and wounding some 300, government spokesperson said. Prime Minister Saleh Kebzabo said the government was still compiling casualties from what he described as an armed insurrection. Authorities imposed a curfew after the violence, which came amid demonstrations in the central African nation against interim leader Mahamat Idriss Deby's extension of his power. *) Türkiye's Erdogan, Azerbaijan's Aliyev inaugurate Zangilan airport Türkiye's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Azerbaijani counterpart Ilham Aliyev jointly inaugurated a new airport in an area liberated from the Armenian occupation. Erdogan is the first foreign leader to land at the Zangilan International Airport, Azerbaijan's second airport in territories reclaimed from Armenia during the 2020 Karabakh War. In October 2021, Erdogan joined Aliyev in the official opening of the Fuzuli International Airport. And finally… *) Yusuf Islam electrifies fans in his first Türkiye concert British musician Yusuf Islam, formerly known as Cat Stevens, performed before a cheering audience in Istanbul. The concert was part of the Beyoglu Cultural Road Festival organised by the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism, at the Ataturk Cultural Center. The artist, who left his mark on the 1960s and 1970s with his albums and chose to become a Muslim in 1977, met with music lovers.

A case could be made that Led Zeppelin IV is the biggest heavy metal album of all time.  However, "IV" isn't really the name of the album.  The actual title was four symbols, one selected by each band member.  The record company hated the idea for obvious reasons, but what they thought was "professional suicide" turned out to be the best selling album for the band and one of the top rated Rock albums of all time.The rollout of Led Zeppelin IV without a pronounceable title and without written information on the album sleeve was a reaction to their experience with the previous album.  Led Zeppelin III had been highly anticipated and a commercial success, but received several negative reviews from critics.  This response affected the band, particularly Jimmy Page.  Led Zeppelin stopped touring and returned to Headley Grange in Hampshire, England for recording the new material.  The relaxed environment of the country house was good for removing distractions and encouraging spontaneity.The result was both a commercial and critical success, and a defining album for heavy metal throughout the 70's.  Every track on this album would be played on AOR and hard rock radio stations.Folks, this is an album you need to hear in its entirety. Rock and RollThe second track on the album is now a rock and roll standard.  It came out of a jam session the band had while producing the album.  John Bonham started with a drum introduction from "Keep A-Knockin'" by Little Richard.  Jimmy Page adds a guitar riff inspired by Chuck Berry.  Ian Stewart, pianist for the Rolling Stones, joins on the song.  It is one of the few songs for which all four band members got writing credits.Four SticksA song for which the name doesn't match the lyrics, "Four Sticks" is so named because John Bonham used two sets of drumsticks - two sticks in each hand - while recording the song.  He recorded only two takes, and Jimmy Page said that "it was physically impossible for him to do another."Black DogAnother song for which the name doesn't appear in the lyrics, "Black Dog" received its name from a black Labrador retriever found wandering around Headley Grange mansion while they were recording.  The alternate a cappella vocals and start and stop instrumentation was inspired by Fleetwood Mac's "Oh Well."Stairway to HeavenThis instantly recognizable epic is Led Zeppelin's signature song.  The band was setting out to create an epic when they wrote it, as they wanted a song to replace "Dazed and Confused" as the centerpiece of their concerts.  Amazingly, it did not chart because it was never released as a single.   ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Main theme from the motion picture Diamonds Are ForeverBond...James Bond!  This Bond film was the last one with Sean Connery as James Bond before being replaced by Roger Moore. STAFF PICKS:Hallelujah by SweathogWayne leads off the staff picks a Christian rock crossover, similar to "Jesus Christ, Superstar" and "Godspell."  Sweathog was a band out of San Francisco which became a top opening act for groups like Black Sabbath, Emerson Lake & Palmer, and Grand Funk Railroad.   Day After Day by BadfingerBrian's staff pick sounds like the Beatles, perhaps because George Harrison produced this album, and participates on guitar and backing vocals.  It tells the story of a boy daydreaming about a girl "looking out from my lonely room, day after day."Never Been to Spain by Three Dog NightRob's staff pick from Three Dog Night features Cory Wells on lead vocal duties.  Three Dog Night had three singers who would trade off on providing lead vocals.  This song was penned by folks singer-songwriter Hoyt Axton, and discusses places the singer has never been, but compares spots that might be good proxies for these locations.Peace Train by Cat StevensBruce finishes the staff picks with Cat Stevens' first top 10 hit in the U.S.  After converting to Islam and changing his name from Cat Stevens to Yusuf Islam, he performed the song as a call for a peaceful solution to the Iraq War, as well as playing it at the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize concert when Muhammad Yunus received the award for his work in micro-lending to the poor. INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Scorpio by Dennis Coffey & The Detroit Guitar BandA funky instrumental from the film "Scorpio" takes us out of this podcast.  The song was on the charts this month, though the movie would not appear until 1973.

Cat Stevens er maður dagsins í Rokklandi. Árið 1970, fyrir hálfri öld sendi hann frá sér plötuna Tea for the Tillerman. Hann var 22 ára gamall - þetta var fjórða platan hans og hún hefur að geyma lög eins og Wild World, Where do the children play og Father and son t.d. Hann hljómar alls ekki 22 ára á þessari plötu heldur frekar eins og lífsreyndur eldri maður. Það er hann svo sannarlega orðinn í dag. Hann er 72 ára gamall og það eru meira en 40 ár síðan hann tók Íslamstrú og tók upp nafnið Yusuf Islam. Hann hætti alfarið að syngja og spila og semja lög, seldi alla gítarana sína og gaf peningana til góðgerðarmála. En löngu síðar fannst honum að hann gæti látið það ganga saman, að vera múslimi og syngja og spila og semja lög - gefa út plötur og spila á tónleikum. Og núna þegar Tea for the Tillerman platan er orðin hálfrar aldar gömul ákvað hann að gefa hana út í sérstökum afmælis-pakka eins og oft er gert, en hann lét ekki duga að endurhljóðblanda plötuna eins og sumir gera heldur tók hann hana upp alla aftur. Hann er með sama upptökustjóra með sér og gerði plötuna með honum í gamladaga - Paul Samwell Smith sem var bassaleikari Yardbirds á sínum tíma, og gítarleikarinn Alun Davies sem var á gömlu plötunni og hans hægri hönd á sínum tíma er líka á þeirri nýju. Í Rokklandi í dag ætla ég að skoða þessa nýju útgáfu af Tea for the Tillerman og skauta yfir feril og ævi Cat Stevens/Yusuf og hann segir frá því sjálfur hvers vegna hann snérist til Islam á sínum tíma, hvers vegna hann hætti að spila og hvers vegna hann byrjaði svo aftur. Cat Stevens er klassík.

Yusuf Cat Stevens is a singer-songwriter who first enjoyed success more than 50 years ago. He was born Steven Demetre Georgiou in July 1948. His Greek Cypriot father and his Swedish mother ran a restaurant in the West End of London, and he helped out there from an early age. He also became interested in music, writing and singing his own songs, partly inspired by the success of The Beatles. Under the name Cat Stevens, he was just 18 when he had his first hit, and soon found himself on tour with Engelbert Humperdinck and Jimi Hendrix. His career came to a sudden halt in 1969, when he contracted tuberculosis and was forced out of the limelight for a year of recuperation. It was also a time of reflection. He emerged a changed man in 1970 - a sensitive singer-songwriter whose albums, including Tea for the Tillerman, and Teaser and the Firecat, sold millions of copies around the world. While enjoying fame and success, he also thought more deeply about religious faith, an interest which increased after he nearly drowned while swimming in the Pacific. He became a Muslim in 1977, changed his name to Yusuf Islam and walked away from music. He soon became one of the UK's most high-profile Muslims, and was often asked to comment about aspects of Islam. For two decades, he didn’t touch his guitar, but in 2006 he made a comeback with an album entitled An Other Cup. He has released three more albums since then and has recently recorded a new version of perhaps his best-known work, Tea for the Tillerman. Yusuf lives in Dubai with his wife Fawziah. They have four daughters and one son who has followed in his father's musical footsteps.

Carrie Underwood’s Christmas gift. Plus, the ‘Grease’ prequel gets closer. And, which seventies singer now goes by the name of Yusuf Islam?

Folk music owes its mainstream success to a few people, with one of the trailblazers being a singer-songwriter that has changed his name a few times. Let’s take a deep dive into the musical world of Cat Stevens… His real name is a bit longer and more interesting, Steven Demetre Georgiou. In 1977, he changed his name yet again to Yusuf Islam when he became a Muslim. In 1979, he auctioned off his guitars and gave the money to charity in an effort to show his devotion to Islam He tells Uncut magazine that his girlfriend at the time helped him pick his most famous stage name: Cat Stevens. “Christine said to me one day ‘you look so much like a cat.’ That kind of stuck.” In 1968, Stevens contracted Tuberculosis. After a long recovery, he started writing more introspective songs that lead him to his signature folk sound and message. "I was smoking a lot,” he tells Mojo Magazine. “Dope as well but mostly cigarettes. So then along came this disease and I was stuck with it. It was a kind of godsend in a way for me. That period was my blossoming into who I wanted to be." The late 60s and early 70s were Stevens’ heyday, hitting success with songs like Father and Son, Wild World, Moonshadow, Peace Train, and Morning Has Broken Not only can he sing and write, he can paint as well. His artwork graces the front of three of his albums In 2001, he released a boxed set containing 79 tracks, most of which he recorded before becoming a Muslim. He donated the proceeds to charity in light of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on America Yusuf continues to perform today, mostly without any interest in commercial success, but instead for enlightenment and to assist his religion. He has released new albums occasionally and gone back on tour, only to donate some or most of the proceeds to charities

Episode Zero is a discussion on the ways people engage with their faith. Alman and Nihal talk about how people hold biases vs. beliefs, how to navigate differences in communities, becoming conflict-comfortable in the face of disagreement, and what they are planning to discuss in the upcoming episodes. We also get a chance to hear about the unique backgrounds of the co-hosts. Alman is a singer-songwriter who was mentored by Yusuf Islam (formerly Cat Stevens) and has performed throughout the world, all the while having a background in business and arts. Nihal is a community activist, educator, and scholar who has degrees in Islam and Psychology. Faith in Fine Print is brought to you by The Mantle, a sacred safe space dedicated to facilitating and demonstrating Islamic Spirituality.

Neighborhood friend Kim comes over to chat with us and help us figure out our opinions on a variety of topics. Carpet vs Hardwood, Crafts vs Art, and separating art from the artist. How to teach our kids to read with comic books or perhaps teaching them to read at all is a mistake.  Cat Stevens or Yusuf Islam, dead kids vs computers, letting strangers hold your baby and skinny vs fat. We end the show on a controversial note when Brooks finally reveals his awful opinion about dishwashers.         Relevant Links https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_is_the_enemy_of_good      Friedrich Nietzsche Quote: "When one has finished building one's house, one suddenly realizes that in the process one has learned something that one really needed to know in the worst way - before one began."   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_Stevens (https://youtu.be/bgtNKrPH8hA)

10,000 Maniacs special with Steve Gustafson talking about life in music, recording, the creative process & much much more The band was formed as Still Life in 1981 in Jamestown, New York, by Dennis Drew (keyboards), Steven Gustafson (bass), Chet Cardinale (drums), Robert Buck (guitar and Newhouse's ex-husband) and Teri Newhouse (vocalist and Buck's ex-wife). Gustafson invited Natalie Merchant, who was 17 at the time, to do some vocals. John Lombardo, who was in a band called The Mills (along with brother guitarist/vocalists Mark Liuzzo and Paul Liuzzo and drummer Mike Young) and used to play occasionally with Still Life, was invited to join permanently on guitar and vocals. Newhouse and Cardinale left the band in July, and Merchant became the main singer. Various drummers came and left. The band changed its name to Burn Victims and then to 10,000 Maniacs after the low-budget horror movie Two Thousand Maniacs!. They performed as 10,000 Maniacs for the first time on Labor Day, September 7, 1981, with a line-up of Merchant, Lombardo, Buck, Drew, Gustafson, and Tim Edborg on drums. Edborg left and Bob "Bob O Matic" Wachter was on drums for most of the 1981 gigs. Tired of playing cover songs—though their first notable American hit was a cover of the Cat Stevens hit "Peace Train"—the band started to write their own music, usually with Merchant handling the lyrics and Lombardo the music. In March 1982, with Jim Foti on drums, the band recorded an EP album called Human Conflict Number Five. More gigs followed in 1982. During this time they lived in Atlanta, Georgia for a short while at the encouragement of friends who said that many gigs were available there. Discouraged by the lack of actual gigs, and by having to sell plasma and rake leaves to buy food, the band moved back to Jamestown in November 1982 to regroup. At the beginning of 1983, Jerry Augustyniak joined the band as their permanent drummer. The Maniacs met Augustyniak when they played in Buffalo, New York, where he was in a punk band called The Stains. Between March and July, the band recorded songs for a second record, Secrets of the I Ching, their debut full-length album, which was pressed by Mark Records for the band's own label Christian Burial Music. The record was well received by critics and caught the attention of respected BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel in London. One song, "My Mother the War", turned out to be a minor hit in the United Kingdom, and entered the independent singles chart. The band toured extensively during 1983 and 1984, and played gigs in the UK. Peter Leak, an Englishman living in New York City, became interested in the band, made contact and was made their manager. With the help of Leak and Elektra Records A & R man Howard Thompson, 10,000 Maniacs signed to Elektra in November 1984. In the spring of 1985, they recorded their second full-length album, The Wishing Chair, in London at Livingston Studios, with Joe Boyd as producer. Though the album was not a blockbuster hit, its status as the band's major label debut did win it some notice, and it received significant critical acclaim. Co-founder Lombardo left 10,000 Maniacs during a rehearsal on July 14, 1986. The remaining five members started recording a new album in Los Angeles with Peter Asher as the producer. In My Tribe, a more pop-rock oriented record, was released on July 7, 1987. The album stayed on the charts for 77 weeks, peaking at No. 37, and established a large U.S. audience for the group. It was also well received in the UK. The album originally contained "Peace Train". It was removed from subsequent pressings after Cat Stevens (now Yusuf Islam) made comments implying he agreed with a death Fatwa against author Salman Rushdie. 10,000 Maniacs' next album, 1989's Blind Man's Zoo, hit No. 13 and went gold, further increasing the group's following. In May 1989, the British music magazine NME reported that 10,000 Maniacs had won the songwriter category prize at the New York Music Awards. In 1990, with the help of Lombardo, they remastered their first two records, Human Conflict Number Five and Secrets of the I Ching, and released them as a compilation called Hope Chest: The Fredonia Recordings 1982-1983. Lombardo and Mary Ramsey, who had formed a folk act called John & Mary, opened gigs for the Maniacs on the Hope Chest Tour in 1990. In 1991, during the recordings of a new album, Merchant revealed to the other members that she would be leaving 10,000 Maniacs for a solo career in two years' time. The new album, Our Time in Eden, was released on September 29, 1992. In 1993, the band performed at the MTV Inaugural Ball for President Clinton in January and on MTV Unplugged on April 21. Merchant announced her departure from the band on MTV on August 5, 1993, saying she "didn't want art by committee anymore." The MTV Unplugged album was released on October 26, 1993. "The last 10,000 Maniacs gig was the first time I'd got drunk in nearly two years," Merchant later recalled. "I laughed a lot and threw lots of flowers out of the hotel window."

Zain Bhikha is a world-renowned singer and songwriter who performs Islamic songs. He began his illustrious career 25 years ago and since then he has released 13 Albums, collaborating with numerous artists such as Native Deen, Outlandish, and the legendary Yusuf Islam (formerly known as Cat Stevens). Zain was one of the first to start performing Islamic nasheeds in English. If someone were to search for Islamic song on YouTube, Zain’s songs would come up top. His songs inspired and continues to inspire many generations of Muslims. In 2005, Zain created his own label, Zain Bhikha Studios, based in his native South Africa. The label aims to provide a platform for local and international talent. Zain also engages in talking to the youth to motivate them to utilize their creative talents for the benefit of society. In this episode, we talk to Zain about his journey as a performing artist, the tragic event that lead him towards a singing career, the impact his music on the Muslim Ummah, the challenges of creating new music and staying fresh and how he has been able to spread a message of peace with the platform he has been given. This was an exciting episode for us since we both grew up listening to Zain’s songs. Sometimes we ask ourselves why we preserver with the podcast with the sheer hard work and little gains but listening to Zain’s story has reignited our why!

Nos habíamos quedado la semana pasada repasando la pléyade de artistas que eclosionaron en el pequeño espacio de tiempo que va de inicios de 1972 hasta mediados del 1973, nombres importantes en la historia de la música popular que, con mayor o menor fortuna, consiguieron, al menos en una ocasión, captar la atención de los aficionados. Pasaron por el programa un buen número de ellos pero fueron muchos más. Así que, hoy, nos ocuparemos de todos, bueno, de casi todos ellos. Todavía a este lado del Atlántico, nos encontramos con un gran grupo inglés, Faces, liderado por el carismático Rod Stewart. Les hemos oído interpretando su éxito Maggie may. En ediciones anteriores ya nos ocupamos de este consagrado cantante por lo que, hoy, lo citamos solo de pasada. Con nuestro siguiente invitado nos pasa más o menos lo mismo. Ya hablamos de él en otro programa pero, merece la pena, y mucho, volver sobre su obra y su genial estilo de tocar la guitarra, esa manera descarnada y directa de ponernos el corazón en un puño. Estamos hablando de Rory Gllagher, líder del grupo Taste y guitarrista de técnica envidiable. Lo escuchamos en Cradle rock. Hablaremos ahora de un tipo especialmente controvertido. Yusuf Islam, más conocido por su nombre artístico Cat Stevens y que antes se llamó Steven Demetre, nacido en Londres, el 21 de julio de 1948, y que fue un brillante cantautor, compositor y multinstrumentista. Desde su debut en 1967 fue cosechando éxito tras éxito con, entre otros, dos álbumes triple platino. Y esto no es cualquier cosa. Concretamente, su álbum debut de 1967 ingresó en el Top 10 de éxitos en el Reino Unido, y la canción "Matthew and Son" logró colarse en la segunda posición en la lista UK Singles Chart. Le escuchamos en Morning has broken Tras alguna crisis entre existencialista y mística, Stevens se convirtió al Islam en 1978 y adoptó el nombre Yusuf Islam al año siguiente. Aunque renunció a su carrera como músico pop, fue persuadido para realizar un último recital. Apareciendo con cabello corto y una larga barba, encabezó un concierto benéfico el 22 de noviembre de 1979 en el estadio de Wembley en beneficio del Año Internacional del Niño de UNICEF. Después de esta aparición, Yusuf abandonó su carrera musical durante casi tres décadas. Desde su conversión, su actividad ha estado seguida con lupa y fue duramente criticado cuando supuestamente apoyó con sus declaraciones la fatua o pronunciamiento jurídico del ayatollah Jomeini contra el escritor anglo-indio Salman Rushdie, debido a la presunta blasfemia cometida en su novela Los versos satánicos. Más tarde aseguró que había sido tomado por sorpresa y que los medios, de una manera tendenciosa, desnaturalizaron el sentido de sus palabras. Días después hizo un comunicado donde dejaba muy claro que, aunque detestaba el contenido del libro, no estaba de acuerdo con la fatua, diciendo: "Según la ley del islam, los musulmanes deben ceñirse a las leyes de los países donde tengan residencia". Supongo que, para curarse en salud, inmediatamente después de los ataques del 11 de septiembre de 2001 en los Estados Unidos, Yusuf afirmó: Quiero expresar el horror que siento por los atentados terroristas contra personas inocentes en Estados Unidos el día de ayer. Aunque aún no hay claridad sobre los causantes de este acto, debo recordar que ningún musulmán en sus cabales podría siquiera avalar semejante acción. El Corán considera el asesinato de una sola persona igual al asesinato de toda la humanidad. Oramos por las familias de los que fallecieron en este acto de violencia y por los heridos y espero reflejar los sentimientos de todos los verdaderos musulmanes en relación a este penoso momento. A pesar de todo, Yusuf, que se encontraba en un vuelo entre Londres y Washington para asistir a una reunión con la actriz y cantante Dolly Parton, fue detenido por el Departamento de Seguridad de los Estados Unidos, se le negó el acceso al país y fue enviado de vuelta al Reino Unido. Por suerte, y después de muchas gestiones, dos años más tarde Yusuf fue admitido sin problema en los Estados Unidos para brindar algunos recitales y entrevistas como promoción de su nueva producción discográfica. Y bueno, ahí sigue. Y cambiando de registro, pero en este mismo lado del océano, nos topamos con la ELO, Electric Light Orchestra y su vibrante Rock n' Roll Is King. Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) es un grupo inglés de rock progresivo natural de Birmingham (Inglaterra) y liderado por el músico Jeff Lynne. La ELO se formó para dar cabida al deseo de Lynne y de su colega Roy Wood de crear canciones de rock modernas con tintes clásicos. A pesar del éxito de sus primeros sencillos en el Reino Unido, donde el grupo obtuvo una mayor popularidad fue en los Estados Unidos; alli se convirtieron en una de las bandas con mayores ventas de la industria. Entre 1972 y 1986, y a pesar de no obtener ningún número uno, la Electric Light Orchestra acumuló un total de quince sencillos top 10 en el Reino Unido y siete en los Estados Unidos, y mantiene el récord de éxitos en el top 40 de la historia de Billboard sin haber cosechado un número uno. Tras su separación en 1986, Lynne volvió a reformar la Electric Light Orchestra en dos ocasiones: en 2001, con la publicación de Zoom, y en 2015, bajo el nombre de Jeff Lynne's ELO, para el lanzamiento de Alone in the Universe. Como colofón, la banda entró en el Salón de la Fama del Rock and Roll el 7 de abril de 2017. Y ahora amigos, abróchense los cinturones porque vamos a cruzar el charco. Y, allí, en mitad todo, estaba la mastodóntica Motown que, aunque en sus orígenes estaba dedicada en cuerpo y alma a la promoción de la música negra, con notable éxito por cierto, no tardó en sumarse a las nuevas tendencias, el negocio es el negocio (como día Marx, señora estos son mis principios pero si no le gustan tengo otros), y lanza su primer grupo blanco: Rare Earth. Esta banda, radicada en Detroit, se mantuvo activa entre 1967 y 1979. Aunque lo cierto es que, su mayor mérito ha sido el ya citado, ser el primer grupo blanco del famoso sello. En fin, no digo que fueran unos mantas pero dejaron poca huella de su carrera. Quienes si que la dejaron por varios motivos fueron The James Gang, un grupo de rock y hard rock estadounidense, formado en Cleveland, Ohio, en el año 1966. Y por cierto, uno de los miembros de la banda, el guitarrista y vocalista Joe Walsh, se haría mundialmente famoso al incorporarse posteriormente a la banda Eagles. Entre sus composiciones más conocidas, se encuentran «Funk #49» y «Walk Away». El grupo se separó oficialmente en 1976, no sin antes dejarnos la ya citada joya: Walk Away. Zager & Evans fueron un grupo de música rock de Lincoln, Nebraska de finales de los años 1960 y principios de los 1970. El nombre proviene de sus dos miembros, Danny Zager y Rick Evans, quienes se conocieron en la universidad de Nebraska. Zager y Evans se hicieron famosos por el tema "In the Year 2525" ("En el año 2525"), escrita por Rick Evans, que alcanzó el número 1 de las listas en julio de 1969. La canción prevenía sobre los peligros de la tecnología, dibujando un futuro en el cual la raza humana sería destruida por sus propias innovaciones tecnológicas y médicas, por los robots, así como por la ira divina. En fin, lo de la ira divina no lo sé, pero el resto… ahí está. La última estrofa de la canción insinúa un onírico ciclo continuo de nacimiento-muerte-renacimiento de la humanidad. ¡Que cosas! "In the Year 2525" estuvo durante 6 semanas como número uno en las listas de los más populares en 1969. También llegó a ser número 1 en el Reino Unido. La coincidencia hizo que fuera número 1 de las listas en los EE.UU el 20 de julio de 1969, fecha en la que los astronautas Armstrong y Aldrin pisaron la luna por primera vez Zager y Evans disolvieron el dúo, pero ambos continúan en el mundo de la música y siguen siendo amigos. Por cierto, si alguien está interesado, Danny Zager se dedica en la actualidad a construir guitarras a medida. Harry Nilsson nació el 15 de junio de 1941, Brooklyn, Nueva York fue un notable compositor y cantante que colaboró estrechamente con el famoso productor Phil Spector. En 1967 obtuvo un considerable éxito con su canción Everybody’s talkin, tema principal de la banda sonora de la película Midnight Cowboy, pero la fama no le sentó nada bien porque, desde ese momento, el hombre empezó a beber como un autentico cosaco. A finales del mes de enero del año 1971, Nilsson se encontraba en la casa de Mama Cass, en Hollywood. Unos cuantos amigos, entre ellos, Graham Nash, jugaban al póker y bebían hasta la intoxicación, con la música puesta como fondo. En el tocadiscos sonaba el nuevo álbum de los Badfingers, un grupo patrocinado por los Beatles. En un momento dado, alguien dio la vuelta al disco de vinilo y empezó a sonar la canción ‘Without you’, el primera tema de la caba B del disco. Nilsson apartó la cartas, el alcohol, y a sus amigos y empezó a prestar atención a la canción. Como vio el sello de Apple, creyó que Paul o John le habrían dado esta enorme canción a sus patrocinados, pero en el disco de vinilo ponía claramente que la canción la habían escrito Pete Ham y Tom Evans, componentes de Badfinger. El resto es historia. Nilsson grabó ‘Without you’ en los estudios Trident de Londres, donde se había grabado y mezclado la canción. Richard Perry le sugirió que hicieran una versión más sentimental que la original, más lenta y profunda, le sugirió incluso, que se atreviera con un arreglo de cuerda. Así fue: Nilsson logró un numero uno mundial. En 1974 conoció a John Lennon y coincidiendo con una separación temporal con Y?ko Ono, se hicieron amigos y compañeros de juergas. Lennon produjo y colaboró con Nilsson en un álbum llamado: Pussy Cats en la que también participó Ringo Starr. También en ese año, Harry co-protagonizó una película titulada "Son of Dracula" al lado de Ringo Starr y cuya banda sonora fue co-producida por ambos. En la edición del disco colaboraron gente tan importantes como Peter Frampton, Klaus Voormann, Ray Cooper, Bobby Keys, Nicky Hopkins, Gary Wright, Jim Gordon, y otros. Harry Nilsson aparece también en el video de la canción "Only You" de Ringo Starr, en la cual colaboró también John Lennon. La verdad es que los Beatles, a veces, hacían cosas muy raritas. La salud de Nilsson se había deteriorado como consecuencia de su disoluta existencia. Este deterioro le provocó un ataque cardíaco masivo en 1993. Embarcado en un proyecto para lanzar una caja con los grandes éxitos de su carrera, había terminado de grabar las voces para el álbum y aquella misma noche del 15 de enero de 1994 falleció por una insuficiencia cardiaca. Amen. En 1959 murieron Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens y The Big Booper. Sobre este acontecimiento, que se conoció como el día que murió la música, el neoyorkino Don McLean compuso su famosa balada «American Pie» que fue número uno en todas las listas. En 1981, McLean llegó al número uno internacional con el clásico de Roy Orbison «Crying». El mismo Orbison describió, en una oportunidad, a McLean como «la voz del siglo», y una posterior regrabación del tema por Orbison incorporó elementos de la versión de McLean. Un músico que influenció en gran medida a un gran número de estrellas fue JJ Cale. Cale nació el 5 de diciembre de 1938 en Oklahoma City y se trasladó a Los Ángeles a comienzos de la década de 1960, donde comenzó a trabajar como ingeniero de sonido en diferentes estudios. Debido a su poco éxito como artista, regresó a su pueblo y consideró abandonar la industria de la música hasta que Eric Clapton hizo una nueva versión de «After Midnight» en 1970. Escuchamos una versión interpretada por ambos. Su primer álbum, Naturally, estableció su propio estilo musical, que en el periódico Los Angeles Times definia como «un híbrido único de blues, folk y jazz, marcado por surcos relajados, la guitarra fluida de Cale y una voz lacónica. Su uso temprano de cajas de ritmos y su mezcla poco convencional dio una calidad distintiva y atemporal a su trabajo.» En 2013, Neil Young comentó también que de todos los músicos que había escuchado, Cale era, junto a Jimi Hendrix, el mejor guitarrista eléctrico. Su mayor éxito en los Estados Unidos, "Crazy Mama", alcanzó el puesto 22 en la lista Billboard Hot 100 en 1972. En el documental To Tulsa and Back, Cale relató que recibió una oportunidad para aparecer en el programa American Bandstand para promocionar la canción. Cale declinó la oferta cuando supo que no podía llevar a su grupo y que tenía que cantar en playback. Cale también fue conocido por su rechazo y aversión al estrellato, a las giras largas, y a las grabaciones periódicas. Fue un artista de culto para los músicos, y relativamente desconocido para el público durante los últimos 35 años. El 26 de julio de 2013, Cale falleció en el Scripps Hospital de La Jolla, California a consecuencia de un ataque al corazón. Nos despedimos de este gran artista con otro de sus grandes éxitos, por cierto también popularizado por Eric Clapton, aunque en esta ocasión lo escucharemos en su versión original. Cocaine. Es tremendo que, después de dos programas dedicados a acercarnos al año 1973, todavía nos queden en el tintero un montón de artistas imprescindibles. No importa, daremos buena cuenta de todos ellos en el próximo programa. Gente como Isaac Hayes, Linda Ronstadt, John Denver, Johnny Winter, y tantos otros buenos músicos. Por hoy nada más, el equipo de nada más que música ha disfrutado enormemente con vuestra compañía y esperamos que vosotros lo hayáis hecho con la nuestra. La amenaza de volver la próxima semana sigue vigente. Así que, hasta entonces… buenas vibraciones!!!

Nos habíamos quedado la semana pasada repasando la pléyade de artistas que eclosionaron en el pequeño espacio de tiempo que va de inicios de 1972 hasta mediados del 1973, nombres importantes en la historia de la música popular que, con mayor o menor fortuna, consiguieron, al menos en una ocasión, captar la atención de los aficionados. Pasaron por el programa un buen número de ellos pero fueron muchos más. Así que, hoy, nos ocuparemos de todos, bueno, de casi todos ellos. Todavía a este lado del Atlántico, nos encontramos con un gran grupo inglés, Faces, liderado por el carismático Rod Stewart. Les hemos oído interpretando su éxito Maggie may. En ediciones anteriores ya nos ocupamos de este consagrado cantante por lo que, hoy, lo citamos solo de pasada. Con nuestro siguiente invitado nos pasa más o menos lo mismo. Ya hablamos de él en otro programa pero, merece la pena, y mucho, volver sobre su obra y su genial estilo de tocar la guitarra, esa manera descarnada y directa de ponernos el corazón en un puño. Estamos hablando de Rory Gllagher, líder del grupo Taste y guitarrista de técnica envidiable. Lo escuchamos en Cradle rock. Hablaremos ahora de un tipo especialmente controvertido. Yusuf Islam, más conocido por su nombre artístico Cat Stevens y que antes se llamó Steven Demetre, nacido en Londres, el 21 de julio de 1948, y que fue un brillante cantautor, compositor y multinstrumentista. Desde su debut en 1967 fue cosechando éxito tras éxito con, entre otros, dos álbumes triple platino. Y esto no es cualquier cosa. Concretamente, su álbum debut de 1967 ingresó en el Top 10 de éxitos en el Reino Unido, y la canción "Matthew and Son" logró colarse en la segunda posición en la lista UK Singles Chart. Le escuchamos en Morning has broken Tras alguna crisis entre existencialista y mística, Stevens se convirtió al Islam en 1978 y adoptó el nombre Yusuf Islam al año siguiente. Aunque renunció a su carrera como músico pop, fue persuadido para realizar un último recital. Apareciendo con cabello corto y una larga barba, encabezó un concierto benéfico el 22 de noviembre de 1979 en el estadio de Wembley en beneficio del Año Internacional del Niño de UNICEF.

Desde su conversión, su actividad ha estado seguida con lupa y fue duramente criticado cuando supuestamente apoyó con sus declaraciones la fatua o pronunciamiento jurídico del ayatollah Jomeini contra el escritor anglo-indio Salman Rushdie, debido a la presunta blasfemia cometida en su novela Los versos satánicos.

Liz Fosslien is the co-author and illustrator of No Hard Feelings: The secret power of embracing emotions at work.  The book is a wickedly funny guide to un-repressing your emotions at work, finding constructive channels even for jealousy and anxiety, demystifying coworker communication styles, and ultimately allowing readers to be the same person in work and in life. She recently joined Humu to develop nudges and behavior change models that make life at work better.  Our conversation with Liz, like all of our conversations, meandered from her book to her workout music (EDM), to her background in math and economics, to 14 Ways An Economist Says I Love You, to the burnout that led to the book, to the research and findings that the book explores, to the OREO method of feedback and much more. The primary concept we took away was that our emotions can play a positive role at work for a variety of reasons, and the second is about how to deal with the limits or restrictions that we sometimes place on ourselves in the workplace. We talked about how these approaches impact our productivity and our emotional health. In our grooving session, Kurt and Tim discussed psychological safety, how emotions are contagious, to loss aversion and its relationship to our naturally negative brains, to William Kahn’s ground-breaking work on psychological safety, to Vittorio Gallese’s work on mirror neurons and Kurt and Tim’s first-ever song based on a behavioral science principle: Loss Aversion. We hope you enjoy our conversation with Liz and please refer us to a friend if you like this episode.  Links Liz Fosslien: http://fosslien.com/ Liz & Mollie’s book: No Hard Feelings: The secret power of embracing emotions at work.   https://www.lizandmollie.com/book/ Liz’s article on how economists say I Love You: 14 ways an economist says I love you  http://fosslien.com/heart/  National Affairs: https://www.nationalaffairs.com/ Project Aristotle: https://rework.withgoogle.com/print/guides/5721312655835136/ Vittorio Gallese, PhD: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vittorio_Gallese William Kahn, PhD: “Psychological Conditions of Personal Engagement & Disengagement at Work” https://journals.aom.org/doi/abs/10.5465/256287 Thaler & Sunstein, Nudge: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nudge_(book) Loss Aversion (Kurt & Tim’s video): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyeRNVSWJAI&t=4s Tears for Fears – “Shout” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye7FKc1JQe4 Bob Dylan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Dylan Cat Stevens (now Yusuf Islam): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_Stevens   Kurt Nelson, PhD contact: email kurt@lanterngroup.com or Twitter @motivationguru or LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/kurtwnelson/   Tim Houlihan contact: email tim@behavioralchemy.com or Twitter @THoulihan or LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-houlihan-b-e/     Subscribe to Behavioral Grooves: https://behavioralgrooves.podbean.com/

This episode will focus on singer/songwriters and the more introspective, lyrical and confessional style they introduced in the early '70s. We'll begin with Cat Stevens (later Yusuf Islam) and move on to Carol King and her epic album, Tapestry, one of the best-selling albums of the '70s. Other singer/songwriters surveyed will be James Taylor, Joni Mitchell and Gordon Lightfoot. We'll also do a brief survey of other trends that take hold later in the '70s (including Disco) as manifest in the evolving styles of the Bee Gees, Donna Summer and others.

“Don't measure yourself against your Facebook or Youtube likes - instead ask yourself , "Will Allah be pleased with what I have done today?" ” - Zain Bhika We speak about everything with Zain Bhika from his Radio 702 competition to his ACE (Art of Creative Expression) workshops....Definitely one of the most inspiring interviews... Alhamdullillah. The opportunity to travel around the world and meet incredible artists like Yusuf Islam and Dawud Wharnsby, unlatched his understanding of what it truly means to be Muslim. It taught him to make the most of life before returning to our Creator, by being the best we can be and striving for social justice. He says that as Muslims, it’s our responsibility to give to those who don’t have anything, to take care of the poor, to smile at each other and “to make things better while you are here.” Zain has found that music and lyrics are a powerful unifier, it brings us closer together as Muslims around the world. He feels blessed that so many people resonate with his music, especially young children, who can often be heard singing along to his lyrics. Zain has a worldwide following of all ages yet he remains extremely humble. “We don’t earn our talents, Allah gives it to us,” he says.  His greatest life lesson: “Be true to yourself and keep the intention of whatever you’re doing real.” Zain relates that life is temporary and loss is inevitable, however the only constant is our Creator and returning to him. “We need to prepare to meet our Creator in the best of ways.” Enjoy it!

This week on StoryWeb: Colin Higgins and Hal Ashby’s film, Harold and Maude. The 1971 film Harold and Maude is a cult classic, a romantic dark comedy preserved in the Library of Congress’s National Film Registry and ranked number 45 on the American Film Institute’s list of 100 Funniest Movies of All Time. Written by Colin Higgins and directed by Hal Ashby, it deserves every bit of the love its enamored fans have showered on it over the years. It’s an unlikely love story if ever there was one. Nineteen-year-old Harold meets his future paramour, seventy-nine-year-old Maude, at a funeral. You might expect me to say, “And not just any funeral.” But to both Harold and Maude, it is “any” funeral – for their shared joy, it turns out, is to attend funerals. Harold drives a Jaguar he’s converted into a hearse, and Maude quite literally zips around town in any car she can find. The pair hit it off, and before long, they’ve become lovers. Now if you’ve never seen Harold and Maude, you’re thinking, “What a bizarre-sounding film,” or “Why is Linda recommending something so outlandish?” In fact, you’re probably thinking both! But if you’ve seen Harold and Maude, you’re likely to have drunk the Kool-Aid, too. You’ve probably seen it more than once. You likely have fond memories of the whimsical passion Harold and Maude have for one another. And like me, you’re probably humming Cat Stevens’s song “If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out” right now! Written and recorded for the film, the song perfectly sums up Harold and Maude’s quirky but loving relationship. In short, I love Harold and Maude, and if you’ve seen it, I bet you do, too. Despite the fact that Harold and Maude love to go to funerals and despite the fact that Harold stages elaborate mock-suicides in his attempt to get his mother to notice him, the film is ultimately life-affirming. Though Maude is sixty years older than Harold, she teaches him about love and life – she is such a gift to this young man. And love, we are reminded, is a true gift in our lives, no matter when or where or how we find it. The best way to see this iconic film is to purchase The Criterion Collection’s Blu-ray edition, complete with high-definition digital restoration, a remastered stereo soundtrack, audio commentary by Hal Ashby, Nick Dawson, and Charles B. Mulvehill, audio excerpts of seminars by Hal Ashby and screenwriter Colin Higgins, an interview with songwriter Yusuf Islam (formerly Cat Stevens), and a booklet featuring an essay by critic Michael Wood. For more on this outstanding film, read Mental Floss’s list of ten fun facts about Harold and Maude. The Criterion Collection offers its own list of ten facts about the film as well as a number of other resources. James A. Davidson’s book Hal Ashby and the Making of Harold and Maude provides a behind-the-scenes peak into the filmmaking process. And if you just can’t get enough, check out screenwriter Colin Higgins’s novelization of the film’s script. It will give you even more insight into the couple’s story. If you find you’ve fallen in love with the film, too, and want to fly your own freak flag, consider sporting a Harold and Maude T-shirt or using a Harold and Maude mouse pad! As Cat Stevens sings in the song and as Harold discovers when he meets Maude, there’s a million things to be, you know that there are! Visit thestoryweb.com/haroldmaude for links to all these resources and to watch the original trailer for Harold and Maude. Then watch a video interview with Yusuf Islam about writing the music for the film.

It was on this day in 2005 that Yusuf Islam, the British singer and songwriter previously known as Cat Stevens won a lawsuit against two British newspapers that had accused him of ties to terrorism. On today's "A Day in the Life," we trace the career of Stevens/Islam and explore the transformation that led to his embrace of Islam.

Now that he's three records into his return to music, Yusuf Islam (better known as Cat Stevens before his conversion to Islam) sounds comfortable but not complacent. "Tell 'Em I'm Gone" isn't exactly the record you'd expect from him, but it's one that was a few decades in the making.

Yusuf Islam, also known as Cat Stevens, talks to Samira Ahmed about his new album Tell 'Em I'm Gone, his first for five years. Miranda Sawyer reviews a new film Northern Soul, about the music and dance phenomenon from the late '60s and early '70s. William Morris is the focus of a new exhibition Anarchy & Beauty at the National Portrait Gallery. The show's curator Fiona MacCarthy reveals there's a great deal more to him than wallpaper and furniture design. And the multi-award-winning American TV documentary-maker Ken Burns - he of the 'Ken Burns Effect' - looks back over a career in which he has covered The Civil War, the history of Jazz and the Great Depression, and discusses his latest 14-hour series The Roosevelts: an Intimate History. Producer Jerome Weatherald.
