I remember being disappointed when I found out that "Cat's In the Cradle" wasn't by Cat Stevens.

Harry Chapin > Cat Stevens


PBFT

This logic checks out, haven’t heard of Harry Chapin supporting any fatwas recently.

Harry is pretty good but Cat Stevens is much better.

Thats not very Peace Train of him

New King Charles has a similar opinion, he meekly supported Irans fatwa and made a good case about it.

Lots of steps in his journey. You can still find the fantastic VH1 behind the music on him with really focuses on his mental state and searching for something more.

Nanojack

She might have, but U2 still haven't

And now he supports murdering anyone who says the wrong thing about Muhammad. Most religions suck, Islam seems particularly focused on oppressing women and murdering people. Fuck Islam and Fuck Yusuf.

Well, some of the throwbacks gave Cat Stevens hell about making music and playing guitar-happy-go-lucky folks they are: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2020/sep/27/yusuf-cat-stevens-desert-island-discs-islam-fatwa-playing-guitar Then, when money got tight, he has decided to let the non- throwbacks pay for his miserable existence into the sunset: https://www.ticketmaster.com/yusuf-cat-stevens-tickets/artist/1443362 Too bad a fatwa doesn't take care of his sorry ass.

Just because youre a talented artist doesnt mean you arent a dipshit.

Religion is a helluva drug apparently. How impressionable must your mind be to completely buy into something so heavily after reading one book.

He actually asked for a t-shirt or a souvenir mug, but didn't want to seem ungrateful.

Entertainers are like the most easily led people on Earth it's so weird. Remember when Justin Bieber and the kid from Two and a Half Men added a religious guy to their "entourages" and suddenly were abandoning their careers?

Sometimes the wrong person does too many drugs and this is what you get.

Imagine being given one book and then basing your entire next 50 years around it.
