Cat Stevens - Father & Son





I like listening to Cat Stevens on car rides.
Michal just sent me this video.
She thinks he's on coke (cocaine) in this video.
I'm not so sure, but i'm used to my mom and my oldest sister
thinking that every celebrity on TV was on drugs.
Also, i've had friends with very obvious drug problems and I thought it
was just part of their personality. So, i'm a little dense when it comes to that kind of scrutiny.
Or maybe I just like to give people the benefit of the doubt.
Or possibly I think like a juror and I need substantial evidence.

Anyway, I guess this song is poignant.
If I were a dad, perhaps I would cry.
I'd like it even more if his son were gay.
But I can't agree with Cat when he sings "You're still young, that's your fault."
It's not his sons fault that he's young! He doesn't control time!
Sheesh, parents just don't understand. But for the most part I understand the dad's perspective in this song. sad . meaningful. human.
