I have no problem at all with Salman Rushdie's knighthood-- he is as good a writer as there is working in the UK at the moment, and if it offends Cat Stevens and his co-religionists, that's just a bonus, as far as I'm concerned. Also, Rushdie's wife is on my favorite teevee show. So I say, here's to you, Sir Salman. What I find odd is that Joe Cocker is on the honors list too. Isn't that kinda scraping the bottom of the barrel? Actually, isn't the sound of scraping the bottom of the barrel sort of what Joe Cocker sounds like? Sing it with me: "What would you do if I sang you a tune...."
