s/b all the adults "around me"

I was in grade school, but you never forget how the neighboring adults were upset at Cat Stevens (a) converting to Islam, and (b) no longer performing music. The adults seemed just as upset at Cat Stevens, as they were with the Oakland Raiders losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers. My neighbors stopped playing their Stevens records. I'd hear "Morning Has Broken" and "Wild World" occasionally on Bay Area radio stations.

But by the early 90s, attitudes had changed, 70s culture and style made a comeback, and others around me started to dust off their Cat Stevens records. Interestingly, both my neighbors at home and in college did not have Cat Stevens cassettes. The former had vinyl, while the latter had CDs.
