Cat Stevens Doing First US Tour Since 1976
Newser ^ | Sept 16, 2014 | Newser Editors

Posted on 09/16/2014 7:53:04 PM PDT by Enterprise

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.

Nice music, but really, how can you follow a child rapist? Honestly?

Hint to old cat Stevens fans: avoid the mosh pit this time...

If he is true to his religion, he will be raising money for ISIS.

His conversion was a sad thing. He used to make incredibly beautiful music. Now what does his music matter, when he supports the murder of billions?

All proceeds go the the whetstone foundation.

Allah the merciful says sharpen the blade before you chop off the body part. It's what muhHamhead (Pigs be inseminating him) would do.

This muslim and so-called rock star is in the Hall of Fame yet Johnny Rivers is not. Now he goes on tour and idiots will buy tickets. For some reason we are allowing the muslims to take over the world. Is Islam the anti Christ?

Omg. I didn’t know this until now. He actually wrote “the First Cut is the Deepest.” (Recorded by Rod Stewart). Now, that’s a fun, timely song for a Muslim to sing at his shows. Certainly there are a couple of journalists and an aid worker who would agree with that title.

Don't worry, Obama-Sunni will instruct his minions to "overlook" the moneylaundering.

Meanwhile, Obama-Sunni's unindicted IRS felons will be targeting moar Tea Party "criminals"...

I loved his music in the old days. Then he died to me.

12/04 - Boston, MA @ Citi Performing Arts Center - Wang Theatre
12/07 - New York, NY @ Beacon Theatre
12/09 - Chicago, IL @ Chicago Theatre
12/12 - San Francisco, CA @ The Masonic Auditorium
12/14 - Los Angeles, CA @ Nokia Theatre L.A. Live

Surprised there is no Michigan. He will be touching down at the Tsarneyevs’ jihad site, the 9-11 jihad site, Obammy’s home base, and the two obligatory Left Coast Hate America Centers. What’s up with the tech companies and the Masons renting to this tour?

And to think I used to really dig his music. I have no desire to hear it anymore, unfortunate because Wild World was a good song, I once had the album.

I used to enjoy Rocket Man etc by Elton John, but now when I hear it I just have this vision of a ultra left gay fag, and the fact that RUSH had him at his wedding does nothing to change that for me.
