@mollydotcom funny thing is Cat Stevens wasn’t even his real name. Steven Georgiou isn’t as catchy though. Unless You’re Greek I suppose.

I don't care that Cat Stevens is a Muslim now, is he good? My exposure to him as a young person was of his Greek influences / @dstorey

@mollydotcom wasn’t he mostly influenced by the Beatles, Dylan, Simone, and the Blues?

@dstorey Whatever his influences, when I heard him as a young teenager I'd never heard anything quite like him.

@mollydotcom moved you more than Dylan?

@dstorey No, but that seems very different to me. Dylan was earlier in the experience. And I never heard Dylan overtly in Cat Stevens.

@mollydotcom worst thing about growing up in the 90s is hearing the terrible boy/girl band covers first, like Boy zone. Yuck.
