We now have positive proof that Islamism not only destroys the soul, it also makes you write really crappy polemical songs. Here’s Cat Stevens, billed as ‘Yusuf’ to avoid the scary I word, at the Hamburg Live Earth concert, with a very thinly veiled anti-Israel ditty: Yusuf (Cat Stevens) - Ruins - Live Earth.
(Hat tip: Killgore.)
UPDATE at 7/7/07 5:23:28 pm:
And in Cat’s performance of “Religion of Peace Train,” he couldn’t possibly sound more disinterested: Yusuf (Cat Stevens) - Peace Train - Live Earth.
UPDATE at 7/8/07 10:50:36 am:
Correction: the song “Ruins” is actually from Yusuf’s pre-Islam days, although it’s remarkable how well it fits with his current Islamism.
