Speaking of Cats

As an addition to my last post about Cats, what better time to talk about this man - Cat Stevens.
What was he thinking! He is now known as Yusuf Islam if you didn't know, and that happened way back in 78.

Personally, I have no problems with changing your faith if you find something in life that changes you...in his case it was some kind of near death experience, or something like that.

But cmon...sing your song Cat. This Wild World needs your folksy inventiveness.

Disclaimer: I am not a big fan of Cat Stevens and do not regularily listen to his music. For the record, I am a hard rock fan with a soft spot for Sarah McLachlan and Sarah Harmer. In fact, listening to Cat Stevens reminds me of going to a grade 12 high school party with a blazing bonfire, and there's the one fool who thought it would be a good idea to bring his dad's acoustic guitar and play Moonshadow for the girls. Just through the first chorus, a guy on the other side of the fire who's consumed about 19 beers decides it would be a good idea to come over to the fool, grab his guitar, and through it onto the blaze. Knowing that the fool is too much of a weakling to take on this guy, he storms out of the party. The Guns N Roses again begins playing from someones $10,000 truck stereo.

That picture is not how i remember Cat Stevens. That picture looks like it was taken one morning after you rolled over and realized you had Cat Stevens in your bed with you. Where is the guitar? Why is the picture fuzzy? Where is his shirt for christ sakes?
