It’s sort of ironic that, even though Stevens converted to Islam 25 years ago and hasn’t performed any of his ‘70s music in nearly as long, while all the while he’s supposedly been supporting Hamas and other Jew-killing organizations, his songs are still regularly sung around late-night campfires at Jewish summer camps to this day. Or maybe just until yesterday.
Then again, renouncing his music didn’t stop Stevens, a couple of years ago, from suing the band Flaming Lips because one of their songs was directly ripped off from “Father & Son.”
