Cat Stevens, or Yusuf Islam as he is now known after converting to Islam in 1977, has just announced a new national musical tour of his "Peace Train" ... his biggest hit prior to his enlightenment ... see: AP Story. It would seem to this blogger that Yusuf's notion that he can recreate his prior popularity in the light of what is taking place in the Middle East may be a bit of wishful thinking. Obviously, touring the country using his Muslim name does not make a lot of sense ... so he has reassumed his feline appellation in the hope that the mindless millennials in this country won't notice.
But in order to kill two birds with one stone, at the conclusion of each appearance, he is planning to end with a heavy-metal flourish ... decapitating one of his Christian frontmen.
You know what? This tour well might work after all for Yusuf ... if Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber can bamboozle our young-in's, why not him?
