>Really-From: "Daniel S. Efran" <de0t+@andrew.cmu.edu> > >Sorry if these have been answered already, but... >1. In Breathing, they say "We are all going to die >_without.....(something)_" >What's the end of that line? They do it quite a few times. You're hallucinating. That _is_ the whole line, according to my ears and my CD booklet. >2. Has Kate _ever_ been seen on a stage in the United States? Badly phrased! I live in the US, and I watched the tour video, so I guess she's been seen on a stage in the US. To answer your question the way you intended it: she was on Saturday Night Live a million years ago. Does that count? >3. Is there a poster of the Kick Inside cover? I've never seen one. There may well be. Which cover do you mean? There are four different ones that I can think of. >4. Is Kate's Ninth Wave related to Sting's (Love is the) Seventh Wave? >If so, what's the reference to? (I assume it's literary) Hell No! It's from Tennyson's "The Coming Of Arthur" according to the back of the album cover. >5. Is there anybody on here who hasn't bought Enya's Watermark album >yet? Yes. >6. Is Kate Bush the female Peter Gabriel or is Peter Gabriel the male >Kate Bush? Neither. They are the same person using a lot of makeup and special sound processors on their vocal tracks. >7. Either way, couldn't the two of them have come up with a better song >than Don't Give Up? Two of the most imaginative (read: strange) >songwriters of the century collaborate to produce one of the least >interesting songs either one has ever written? I don't get it. The female vocal part was originally written for Dolly Parton. She didn't do it at the last moment, obviously. Kate stepped in. Check out the Bush/Gabriel duet "Another Day" (if you can find it!) if you don't like "Don't Give Up." Also, I'm sure you _do_ know that Kate sings backup on "Games Without Frontiers" and "No Self Control," both on PG's 3rd LP. >8. Has anyone heard Kate's guest vox on the song Sister and Brother on >Midge Ure's album Answers to Nothing? It's pretty cool. Dunno. Never heard it. Ure gives me hives. >9. Does anyone know of any other KT guest vox that are worth having? I may draw flames, but I like her appearance on "The Seer" by Big Country. She kicks ass, as she always does. >10. Can anyone help me think of a tenth question? I guess nine is >enough--one for each wave. You didn't ask what the significance of "gaffa" was! (NB: Do _NOT_ ask this question. People will not like you if you do. The line above was a rare example of my frivolity.) +---------------------- Is there any ESCAPE from NOISE? --------------------+ | | |\ | jsd@gaffa.mit.edu | "Please, Al, the fat and unattractive| | \|on |/rukman | jsd@umass.bitnet | have rights too!" -- Steve Rhodes | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
