This may not be the best time to admit that I was a huge Cat Stevens fan during my formative years. I still have some of his music around and now my oldest daughter has been getting into it.
He got too weird for me even before he converted to Islam. The last Cat Stevens album I ever bought had what I can only describe as a love song to a guy named Randy. Just turned my stomach. I can't help but think his conversion to Islam was his way of trying to purge his past.
I had no clue what had happened in his life in the last few decades.
