Hi again everyone, I'm curious about people's reactions (or lack of them) to a potential plan to use a cat stevens song for the processional. since i met FI in 2002 (although we didnt start dating until 2007) the cat stevens song "silent sunlight" has been very special to both of us. unfortunately, i know that cat stevens (aka yusuf islam) has, in the past, been noted for a number of hurtful (and ridiculous) anti semitic remarks. i am sensitive to the idea of not using composers and artists who are hateful, but i'm not totally sure how to handle this. FI feels strongly about the song, and about the fact that a piece of music is its own entity from the person who composed it -- that they each stand alone. i certainly can see that side of things, but i guess i also see the other side. personally, i think i would be OK with using the piece (especially because its particular message is pleasant) but i am worried about offending other people, etc. any thoughts would be great! thanks lynnie
