it's ironic/sad that Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens) was singing about a peace train but was on the U.S. terrorist watch list
Yeah, but look at Yusuf Islam's bio...

A year later, on 4 November 2005, he was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Gloucestershire for services to education and humanitarian relief
In October 2003 he received the World Social Award for "humanitarian relief work helping children and victims of war
On January 4, 2007, Yusuf Islam was awarded the Mediterranean Prize for Peace in Naples, Italy. He received the award "as a result of the work he has done to increase peace in the world
On July 10, 2007, Yusuf Islam was awarded an honorary doctorate (LLD) by the University of Exeter, in recognition of "his humanitarian work and improving understanding between Islamic and western cultures

But that won't stop the pundants.
