Yup, Salman and Moshe Dayan --- not to mention, Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles. (Elvis warned me. He said, "Don't be cruel, to a heart that's true...)

Strangely Hubby and I were speaking about Cat Steven/Yusaf Islam, now Islam Cat Stevens, he is back with and is releasing new music. As for Rushdie, he is a very scared man, no longer a protestor and pushy like he was 30 years ago, but afraid that Palestine will be run by Hamas. Blessings, Jennifer.

Sad state of affairs the world is in at this point. Creative political work. Thanks for sharing. I saw on the news how the head person(of Iran) and their prime minister were killed in a helicopter crash yesterday or day before. Sara K

Even the bark on the trees is barking. Bob Barker just rose from the dead and is barking too
