Kate is certainly fallible, but I think some people have forgotten one of the things that Kate said recently in an interview (in the NME) about Oppenheimer: "I wrote the song two years ago, and in lots of ways I wouldn't write a song like it now. I'd really hate it if people were offended by this...But it was all started by a family friend, years ago, who'd been to dinner and sat next to this guy who was really fascinating, so charming. They sat all night chatting and joking. And next day he found out it was Oppenheimer. And this friend was horrified because he really despised what the guy stood for. "I understood the reaction, but I felt a bit sorry for Oppenheimer. He tried to live with what he'd done, and actually, I think, committed suicide. "But I was so intrigued by this idea of my friend being so taken by this person until they knew who they were, and then it completely changing their attitude." |>oug "E is for ERNEST who choked on a peach"
