This appeared in the "Queens Journal" here on campus today and I couldn't 
resist mentioning it...

It's interesting seeing this is the first true KB awarness in this city.
She isn't on any of the local radio station's playlists, the only exposure
we get is on the Canadian music video channel Much-Music (and that is rare).
I am not an avid KB fan, don't know her music and therefore I find it hard
to understand why she has such a close following by a very select and 
relatively small group of people across the continent.  In other words,
what is so different about her music??  Why would a "fan club" emerge 
for her when there are thousands of other artists who are much more popular
by number (record sales, concert sales etc..)????  It is almost like it
was some kind of cult or religious following....

(KB fans: this is not supposed to be an insult or any kind... only the 
 contents of an inquisitive mind)
