	   Well, not really. There are at _least_ twenty people I know,
	   really, many more than that, who would go to see Kate if
	   she came here. However, I think there are only three or so 
	   of us, who would buy the single. So if we each buy a bunch
	   of copies, it works out about evenly. I know a lot of
	   people who will go to see Kate, just because they know
	   people (me, for one) who practically worship her. I know
	   my whole family will go, all of my best friends, and even 
	   some not-as-good friends that i can comvince to see her in 
	   concert. But not even one-tenth of them would go out and
	   buy the single. So I don't think we're fooling anybody.
