Today's Hooray

I came home from a function tonight and landed at Letterman, and my attention was actually grabbed by -- get this -- a commercial. Or rather, the song in a commercial.

It was a t-mobile spot, and if I'm not mistaken, the song that was playing was YUSUF!! For the uninitiated, or hopelessly nonmusical, Yusuf is to the rest of us, and forever will be, Cat Stevens.

He was on Charlie Rose recently, and despite his little Muslim beard and clothes, he was still Cat. Still gentle and soft-spoken. Still sweet-eyed and self-deprecating.

Still hot.

Or, just Google "Cat Stevens Peace Train Live" if you don't believe he's hot. He's a Greek Brit, for gods sake. The defining national characteristic of Greek men is hotness. You should not confuse this with the defining characteristic of Greek women, which is moustaches.

I lurve him

One of my earliest schoolgirl fantasies...I am old enough to have been alive when Tea For The Tillerman was released. Love him still.

That is NOT true about Greek women. I know this because in the third grade I had a crush on Olga. She said she liked me and I lied and said I didn't like her, and then I climbed up the jungle gym.

It's a well-known fact that Greek women don't begin to develop facial hair until the fourth or fifth grade.
