concert review

Watching the Cat Stephens concert with Serafina.
Since Cat Stephens became a Muslim and took the name Iussuf Islam, his material has undergone something of a metamorphosis.
This is brought home to me most strongly when Iussuf begins singing his catchiest 1960's hit Matthew And Son.
He sings:

"Osama and son,
Osama and son,
There's always something new.
The Jihad's begun,
We've just bombed London,
What else is there to do?
We've been working all day all day all day,
To impose Islam on the whole damn world.
Nerdle ner,
Dung gedung gedung.
We've got Jihadi's who've been killing,
For fifty years.
No one asks for more suicide vests,
Because nobody cares.
We chant a little Akbar,
And throw acid at schoolgirls.
It mightn't seem like much of a living,
But I guess it just serves,
Osama and son,
Osama and son,
What are we to do?
The Jihad's begun,
We're all on heroin,
We've bombed Madrid too,
And we've been working all day all day all day,
To wipe Israel off the map,
And establish a new caliphate on the planet earth
As well as trying to poison Rome's water supply,
Successfully slaughtering Pyn Fortyn the anti Muslim immigration Prime Minister in waiting of the Netherlands,
Criminalising through the courts system Gert Wilders the surviving anti Muslim immigration Prime Minister in waiting of the Netherlands,
Torching French cities,
Stabbing the mayor of Paris,
Bombing Glasgow airport,
Downing passenger jets wherever and whenever the urge takes us,
Murdering a teenager on Grafton Street Dublin by beating him to death with a baseball bat,
Precipitating an almost totally unreported white flight from European cities through violence and intimidation on the streets,
Committing so many murders that it's impossible to keep track of them,
Committing so many murders of our own young Muslim women for the crime of wearing dresses or having boyfriends or daring to think for themselves that you just can't keep track of them,
Committing so many murders period, (That's a comma, - Ed note.)
Censoring Southpark,
Terrorising all nations with impunity
And blowing up the whole goddam world if you'll let us
Nerdle nerrrrrr."

It's still a catchy song.
But dark.
