Curious about Cat Stevens—the classic ‘70s singer/songwriter who converted to Islam and disappeared for decades from public view?
He’s back with a new album and seems to be interested in regaining some sort of a public profile.
He was on Tavis Smiley’s show on public TV a few months ago, and I just noticed that you can watch the whole thing on Tavis’ website HERE.
He now goes by Yusuf, by the way (Stevens, not Smiley).
Yusuf just performed at Island Records’ 50th anniversary show in London—and was introduced by a well-known Christian, U2’s Bono.

The world of religion, we don't have to tell you, is vast. The purpose of this blog is for Stern to note, flag and comment on some of the more interesting religious developments on the scene – weighty and quirky, somber and laughable, far away and just down the road. He won't interpret Scripture, take sides in conflicts or judge anyone. But he will take advantage of the journalist's license to observe.
