They had some guy from "Rolling Stone" (sorry, didn't catch his name) talking about the album but mostly talking about Kate Bush. The comment I enjoyed most was uttered when they were discussing Kate's lack of mass appeal here in the U.S. This guy said that she made heavy use of Irish folk instruments/tunes which just couldn't be fathomed by Americans. He ended by saying, "if Madonna is the 'material girl' then Kate Bush must be the 'ethereal girl'. - kjl
