I don't think he's stopped recording; Amazon lists an audiotape called A is for Allah by him (under the spelling Yusuf Islam, by the way, rather than Youssef). Oh, and two more called Prayers of the Last Prophet and The Life of the Last Prophet.

My 2 euro cent: if a man gets religion and tries to live his life better because of it, I'm not about to object.

The crazy wing of Islam seems to have got the upper hand at the moment, but most Muslims are perfectly decent people. As for wife-beating, just drop down to your friendly local outpatients (ER for Americans) next Saturday night and ask the battered wives their partners' religion; I doubt it'll universally be Muslim.

Was watching a good programme on TV last night about Gram Parsons, God rest him. What a sad waste.... if he'd found religion rather than the kind of solutions he found, maybe he'd still be making good music, or at least living a happy life.

By the way, DVD playerss are dead cheap nowadays; Amazon.co.uk has one for something like £35, a Yakumo. I got one and it's really, really good.
