Summary: Beware of converting non-Kate fans
Before attempting to convert anyone, you should be sure that your beliefs are strong. My wife attempted to convert a true diehard Kate disliker (Me. I'm sorry to admit it, it's true), and wound up being converted to my side. She now subscribes to my heretical viewpoint that while Ms. Bush has a marvelous voice, her songs are essentially thinly disguised pop. Oh no. I've said it now! They'll all be after me! At least my wife no longer listens to Air Supply. Rob Aitken ...{utai,alberta,ubc-vision}!calgary!arcsun!rob aitken%noah.arc.cdn%ubc.csnet@RELAY.CS.NET [ |>oug would like to say that he thinks this is a pretty ridiculous statement. "Thinly disguised pop"? Disguised to whom? Much of her music is blatantly and purposely Pop. No one is saying that it isn't Pop. It isn't disguised at all. Much of her music also does not so easily fall into the category "Pop". And a great deal of her music contains a combination of originality, innovation, quality, and power, yet to be exceeded. -- |>oug ]
