My impression of HM fans (good grief I'm married to one!) is that they are
no less open-minded than the next person (not that you implied they're
not open-minded). KaTe's releases are _always_ reviewed in the HM press and
in my experience they are just as likely to dedicate a whole article on KaTe
as the rest of the music press. The reviews are rarely unsympathetic I might
add. In fact they are usually raves.

If none of this rings true then perhaps, like HM music, there are 
differences between HM fans on opposite sides of the Atlantic.


Rocket Man

10/10 for this song. Gorgeous!
The rest of the album is worth a listen too, particularly the Clapton, Who,
Sinead and Tina Turner tracks. Get it if you can.
