Well-written and well-sung. I just googled Cat Stevens and saw that he was born Yusuf Islam. I always had that backwards. Back in the 70s or 80s, when he dropped the name Cat Stevens, I understood that he converted to Islam and changed his name to Yusuf Islam. But the article I saw said that he was born Yusuf and used Cat as a stage name. Glad I got that cleared up!
