Subject: What's the world coming to...
I haven't quite recovered from the shock of this... Here I am, sitting in the middle of 4:30 traffic in LA when what do I hear on the radio? "Now, on the mighty MET, Kate Bush, with `Running up that Hill'..." I can't believe this!! KMET is one of LA's "kick-ass rock n'roll" stations. It was also an incredible shock lunging for the dial when RUTH finished after I was subjected to the first chord of some Van Halen song... My poor ears were expecting "Look! Through the trees! It's coming!" I didn't get back to the station fast enough to see what the DJ had to say about Kate, though. All I heard was "... nice to hear that one" and he may have been talking about the Van Halen gup. (though I like to think he was referring to Kate). I also now know that the radio in my old car is not deserving of Kate. I will have to get that new car after all... This is the first time I have heard Kate on the radio in 6 years, and the first time in this country. What's the world coming to... Coke doesn't taste like Coke, RX-7's don't look like RX-7's, and now Kate on the "mighty MET"... /Kevin
