I'll probably only post this once as I'm supposed to be doing real work on this thing, not writing about pop singers :-) . Three things: 1) The Dreaming is indeed a great album. When it came out I thought it was close to perfection and that Kate would never better it. But, in MY opinion, Hounds of Love is even better. It IS perfection. I don't really approve of the way you lot 'officially' designate The Dreaming as the greatest record of all time. For me, HOL is one of the four best albums I've heard, the others being (in alphabetical order) Peter Gabriel IV, Robert Palmer's Riptide, and Richard Thompson's Across a Crowded Room. That's good enough for me - and I bet Kate would be proud to be classed with three such great musicians, too. But as I said, it's MY opinion, but that's just as valid as YOURS - don't forget it! [ No, it's not! And don't you forget it! -- |>oug ] 2) Following on from the first really. Kate Bush is a great musician, but she's not divine, you know! If she was to look in on this newsgroup I bet she'd be rather embarrassed by some of the things she'd see. After all, her music is somewhat more, er... grown up (?) than most popular music - do you think she'd really be flattered by all this adolescent fantasising? (I don't know, perhaps you ARE adolescents, in which case congratulations on discovering Kate Bush at such tender years :-) [ (1) Kate will never read this newsgroup. (2) The drooling over Kate Bush in this fanzine is no worse than in any other Kate Bush fanzine (many of which Kate has seen), so it's just what she'd expect anyway. (3) Unlike any other KB fanzine (other than *For The Love of Kate*, we don't take ourselves seriously, anyway, so it doesn't matter. -- |>oug ] 3) Thought you might be interested - I was born in Plumstead and lived, till I was 18, in Abbey Wood. I'm sure most of you will appreciate the significance of this and will raise me to demi-god status accordingly!! Best wishes (and I DO love her, you know) Gordon Jackson
