ok, so those of you who know who I am talking about, and Listen to Cat Stevens or Yusuf Islam, or whatever he is calling himself now, How many of you like his older stuff better than his new CD. Like ,would you choose from Teaser and the Firecat or An Other Cup [talking about albums here, not the songs]? What would you choose? And what is your favorite song by him? I think my favorite song by Cat Stevens is either Peace Train, If I laugh, or The Wind. Whats yours?
i like "where do the children play?", "wild world" "if you wanna sing out, sing out!" and a myriad of others....
Finally the young girl is starting to understand the great ways of Islam! Allah Akhbar! Yosuf Islam! (Watch the movie "Harold and Maude" and you will fall in even more love with Cat Stevens).
Salam Aleikum, Sir Ruby. I am glad you too follow the road that Muhammed showed us and lead us, the one road that Allah has in mind for all His creations. Allah Akhbar, Muhammed Akhbar, Islam Akhbar!
Yusuf is an Islamic name and it literally means: "He who caught the lion with his bare hands and killed him because of his bad breath."
now i'm not positive, but i'm pretty sure that's his real name,not new! cat stevens was his performer name. like when john cougar switched back to john melloncamp.
MadTV did a spoof on Cat Stevens once singing his tunes but with the titles and lyrics altered. They didn't come right out and say it was Cat, but you could tell. Strange events surrounding Cat Stevens have occurred, like this one: http://www.nytimes.com/2004/09/22/politics/22flight.html Maybe Cat should have taken the Peace Train instead of a 747? .
