The last time Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam was discussed on this blog, he was being deported from the US as a threat to national security . Now, via Amanda , I see that he’s been busy recording with Dolly Parton. As Amanda puts it:
call me profane, but the idea of a noted religious ascetic picking with the Texas Whorehouse lady herself really appeals to me.

Stephens/Islam didn’t look or sound like a ‘religious ascetic’ during “Islam awareness week” at the KCL last April. In fact, in was his wife who asked him not to sing in front of a mixed audience.
He also seemed rather nostalgic and proud of his past celebrity status
Texas Whorehouse lady? He probably just wants to get a few jam sessions in before she gets justly stoned to death.
Well now we can see that he clearly was a threat to national security and they made the right decision.
If you look at what on her newest album, they are likely a better fit than the surfaces suggest.
And Dolly Parton is quite self-made. “Whore” is—a jerkface conclusion based on big hair and big tits, not on anything she has ever said or done. It’s a disgraceful and stereotypical leap based on someone’s fantasy of “whore”.
I know we’ve all moved on but let me defend myself a little. It was a jokey reference to the movie and not the slightest bit of disrespect—to anyone—intended, if you actually read the rest of what I wrote.
