... what's that "Bashung"-thing on the pic

[hyacinth]

@ M. According to davidlaurent
Alain Bashung - at a younger age he sported a beard and long hair and did an adaptation of Changes IV.

As the Threads name suggests this thread is about the Cat Stevens Memorabilia you have or would love to have.

Currently I have the urge to purchase some sort of Catty Memorabilia......But the only thing I can think of purchasing is the hat he wore during the Bannapple Gas music video, I have tried searching it before on eBay but honestly have no idea what kind of hat he wore during the video....other than the fact it was big and yellow .

So bassically tell us about any Memorabilia you currently have or would love to have........I really want to purchase something that i can cherish for the rest of my life...... ;D

Peace!

I'd like to have this:







...or even in red...

My hubby had a similar necklace when we met. He wore it all the time till it finally fell apart. I re-strung it, but it was never quite the same. Alas.

Yeah, I had one like that. (Required beach wear in California in the 70s,
as I recall.) Just two years ago, I took it apart and reused the beads in
a funky mixed bead necklace. Love it.

[Affy]

Peacock that's not a bad find but its very similar but the one that he wore during the video looks like a beanie hat with a cap combination.

He's not available anymore?

That might depend on how you feel about polygamy.

[csgoldengirl1]

the lime green boots he wore, not sure who made them, but I am sure they must be worn out by now,, anyways then there is the leather moccasins to the need, on the banapple gas vid,, I claim those!!! haha good topic Affy ! peace from canada ;D

[Affy]

LOL Csgoldengirl.....Lime Green

And the urge to purchase something gave me the idea of the topic........all i need now is something to buy LOL only if i had enough money to buy one of his old guitars now that would be amazing.......especially the one that's string broke during the Majikat Tour.....

Peace!

Looks to me that it just comes down farther in front than the one I found at Sears. More like the gray hat pictured above in this thread, but yellow and a bit fuller in the crown.

Maybe someone could *make* one. I'm also willing to consider *making* that kimono if I can find similar fabric. Hm. But not the belt.

I understand that *some* Muslims practice polygamy, but probably not our dear Yusuf. I'll bet there are plenty of women willing to convert to Islam should that ever change.

Hope I didn't offend anyone - it was meant humorously . . . .

Why would I not be surprised if this photo appeared beside the word "distinguished" in the dictionary?

What a wonderful study of Yusuf, Monika... Thanks!

Yusuf: The man will always embody the perfect blend of class, dignity, and cool.

my dear affy,,, I went into an antique store the other day while in the city, It was wall to wall vinyls, I nearly passed out looking at all the albums I have never seen, and I desperetly looked for anything cat,and of course, no lime green boots, no mugs, in fact very little, the owner told me he seldom has cat things to sell, as no one parts with them, there was some posters,,,but very highly priced,but was put on a list for incoming cat memo,, was very cool to see the 2 albums that hendrixs made, one of which was signed, But I did buy a bob dylan photo for my guy, which is pristine, so not all a loss,, so I will keep an eye out for your yoyo, and u look for lime green boots,,deal?? cool,,, peace and love from canada

[aurarisma]

coool gift you got for your guy!!!
I had 3 yo-yo's but gave one to yusuf so he could show his grandaughters that they could still do it !! and then pass it on to his son! x

[ilovemycat]

Just curious as to Yusuf's reaction when presented with the yo-yo, if you don't mind sharing that with us?

[Affy]

Csgoldengirl seems to me that M has done the work for me but i hope we still got a deal LOL.

Nice Find M

Peace!

[Affy]

I reckon this hat that M found but in yellow ofcourse would look exactly like it.......M what is this hat called or what did you search to find it?

Salaam

[peacock]

It's called a newsboy hat.

[M.]

@ Affy: I found it in my private archive...

And yes, it's a Newsboy Cap:
