I know you wanna read about KISS getting inducted into the Jann Wenner Hall Of Fame and I’ll tell you about it I promise … Tomorrow I”ll give you all the action from the Barclay Center. But I will tell you Tom Morello was excellent and Paul Stanley is a pussy and shoulda manned up and told the Hall Of Fame to go to hell.

Cat Stevens, who I will tell you about in greater detail, has a very wry, very dry sense of humor and in his passionately disconnected speech called her the ghost of not just the Yardbyrds who you remember and the Springfields, Dusty”a first band, who you don’t remember at all.

Giving us a brief music lesson, Cat, by which I mean Yusuf, called Beethoven’s Ninth the first rick and roll record and moved swiftly through the 4 Bs, Bo Diddley, Buddy. Holly, Bob Dylan and the. Beatles.

Cat concluded that inducting a man of God was very rock and roll and he may well be right. Then he performed two songs about leaving “Father And Son” and “Wild World” and one about how you transport yourself when you leave. “Peace Train”. Inductor Art Garfunkel noted that for a singer songwriter he had a deep baritone and Art was on the money: Yes, Cat was and is sexy.

Welcome back Yusuf,now how about a tour?
