New Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member Cat Stevens is taking the "Peace Train" back on the road. He announced yesterday that he'll do a six-city concert tour in North America this December, his first series of shows in the US since 1976. His conversion to Islam followed, putting his music career on hold for a quarter-century. Stevens, who also is releasing a blues album on Oct. 27 produced by Rick Rubin and titled Tell 'Em I'm Gone, is using that stage name along with Yusuf, the name he took when he converted. The performer of 1970s-era hits "Wild World," ''Morning Has Broken," and "Peace Train" has slowly broken back into secular music during the past decade and has made only a handful of semi-public and television appearances in the US.

Shove it, Cat.
Take your religion with you.
The “kill the infidel tour”
I can only imagine what his between-song banter will be like.
Little Boy Blew the Man on the Moon.
Accurate lyrics!
His 70’s stuff sucked too. He can shove the Peace Train where the sun doesn’t shine.
We be-heading to a Cat Stevens concert.
We expect to be blown away!
Will the title of “Hard Headed Woman” change?
Real men don’t wear diapers on their head.
He’s most certainly not welcome back Cat. Agree FOAD.
“Oooh, baby, baby, it’s a wild world, and I’ll always remember you like a child, girl, cause you were seven just like the wife of my prophet”
Someone should do unto him what he wants to do unto others.
Yes, it will be entitled “Hard Headless Woman.”
LOL!!!!
I thought it a huge mistake when he forsake Cat Stevens for Yusuf Islam.
And now it’s an even bigger mistake to try to stage a comeback tour.
Everything I need to know about Islam, I learned on 9/11/01. It’s a brutal, evil, backwards, misogynist, racist, paranoid, murderous, suicidal cult.
“Religion of peace” it ain’t. And there is no room in a civilized world for savage zealots still living in 632.
Shove the “Harold and Maude” movie score, too.
Pack up yer prayer rug and get the hell outta here. Ain't nobody givin' you money to send home for suicide vests!
Is he maybe relenting his religious choice or is he raising money for the cause?
He does Harry Chapin covers?
