Does anybody remember an interview with Kate where she says she
absolutely cringes at some of here old work?  She went on to say
that any artist should criticize their work because an artist has
to keep improving.  Something to that effect.

Now, if this is true then we can assume Kate tries to improve on her
work with each outing.  If this is true then the previous outing can't
be perfect.  And if it can't be perfect then Mr. Marvick is disagreeing
with Kate.  And if that is the case then he can't be a _true_ Kate Bush
fan, because by his own example a _true_ Kate fan can't find flaw with
her work.  But not only has he found flaw with her work, he disagrees
with her about it.  Sounds like blasphemy to me.

Because we know this is his newsgroup, isn't it.  I hate opinions too.
If only we were all mindless, grovelling, slobbering groupies like...
well, never mind.

Wait a second.  I recall a posting after somebody mentioned they had
seen the video (not on "Now Hear This") that you had not seen the
video and that any and all details were desperately wanted.  You didn't
post it but the author claimed to have talked to you on the phone about
it.  Am I looney or what?  And I just can't believe that MTV has NEVER
shown the complete video unless there are naked breasts involved.  Highly
ulikely.

More blasphemy.  Boy, it's a good thing Kate doesn't read this group.
She's be plenty pissed of at that.  I mean, has it occurred to you that
Kate Bush can't possibly think all her work is perfection.  Get a grip.
