The new issue of BAM magazine (Bay Area Music) has a list of the most
influential behind-the-sceneds music industry players of 1989 -- the
people who supposedly had the greatest impact of what we heard.  Kate,
though not listed herself, is mentioned:

ED BENNETT
     There was a time when the VH-1 video channel could have stood for
Vacuous Hits.  Clips by the likes of Peter, Paul & Mary, Michael
Tomlinson, Neil Diamond and Elton John would seque together into a
quiet snoozestream.  No more, though.  Since Ed Bennett took over as
president of MTVN's VH-1 in April of '89, he's helped increase the
channel's coolness quotient considerably.  Nile Rodgers hosts New
Visions every weeknight, focusing in on rock, folk, world beat and
soul artists.  Rodgers's show -- which has featured Rickie Lee Jones,
Kate Bush and Michelle Shocked -- recently won an ACE cable award for
Best Music Series.  At any given time, historical videos by the Doors,
Creedence Clearwater Revival and the Beatles may be woven into new
releases by Sinead O'Connor, Lenny Kravitz and Michael Penn.  Let's
hope Bennett keeps VH-1 on this "Very Hip" course.

So, has anybody seen Kate on New Visions?  And if so, does anybody
have a tape of it?
