Appreciating the “Hard Headed Woman” by Cat Stevens.

The first time I heard that song many many moons ago, I just took a pause and breathed out a sigh. How wonderful it is to hear a song about male persona pining for a “hard headed woman”. Most songs describe women in a nutshell – beautiful but difficult, seductive and dangerous, or desirable but taken. But this one by Cats Stevens (Yusuf Islam) describes how I would like to be appreciated.
