My mom use to play Cat Stevens all the time. This song was always a favorite.

I'm curious to listen to Cat Steven's (now named Yusuf Islam) music since his conversion to Islam. At the same time if I don't like the new music I don't want it to sully the reputation of his classics for me. I find it sad he felt he had to discard his old songs at the time of his conversion. For the most part I would think they are some of the most well meaning and ethical songs out there, and for him to have discard them as "bad" seems excessive. I mean "Peace Train" didn't fit with Islam? Really? I know recently he has been re-recording some of his early works though, so perhaps he has changed his mind? Perhaps musical instruments are okay now? I just don't understand how you can discard classics like this song of the day.
