One of the most disturbing memories of my adolescence was hearing a very creepy looking Cat Stevens explaining
to an interviewer that he chose the name 'Cat' because you have to look very closely at a cat to know its sex --
see what I mean, creepy.
Anyway, thanks to
littlegreenfootballs
for breaking -- to me at least -- that Cat Stevens is on a terrorist watch list and he donates money to Hamas.
His
plane was diverted from DC to Maine when his new name, Yusuf Islam, turned up on the list. Either he's really
grown a pair of coconuts over the past thirty years or he thought this was a good way to get into a general
prison population.
