Summary: Who are the Love-Hounds?
This is my very first (!) attempt at article posting on the USENET, so
please be gentle... :>
I found this newsgroup by accident, and I have 3 questions:
1) Who are the 'Love-Hounds'? (Every article in this newsgroup
seems to have their name attached to their article headings!)
[ Love-Hounds are sick puppies, who worship the blinding musical
light of a certain British musician, Kate Bush. -- |>oug ]
2) Who/What is 'gaffa', and what does it mean?
[ "Gaffa" is a european jargon term for "gaffer's tape". Kate
Bush has a song entitled "Suspended in Gaffa". -- |>oug ]
3) (Most Important Question)
Does anyone out there know if Mike Oldfield is planning to
do a U.S. tour to promote his new _Islands_ album? I
don't think he's been out here (Ca.) since his _Five Miles
Out_ tour (or was it _QE2_ ??). At that time, he
(Oldfield) said something to the effect that he would wait
for more widespread U.S. recognition before touring here
again.
Any comments/news?
