Tom Ridge: Cat Stevens Fan?

Who knew? According to Jeanne Meserve of CNN, Tom Ridge is taking a closer look at how the former hippie singer (now known as Yusuf Islam) wound up on the "No U.S.A. for you!" list but insists he wasn't singled out for being a celebrity sympathetic to Islam.

"The system is not perfect here." Ridge called the singer "one of my favorite artists," and said his agency would take "a very, very close look" at the information that resulted in Islam being placed on the list.

As you may remember, Cat Stevens was the artist in the early 70's who sang, "I'm being followed by a moon shadow." Looks like that's not all that's been following you, eh Yusuf?
