   Sorry, after I sent that post the _The Dreaming_ "Keer-ang" review
popped into my head. They have published some of the best reviews of
Kate. A side tid-bit; the members of Judas Priest listed on their
"Keer-ang Christmas Wish List": "Kate Bush Videos!".

   Yeah, now that you mention it. In fact, I photographed a Metal-looking
guy, who had a _tattoo_ of Kate on his left upper arm. Now I have a
personal aversion to Metal, and think tattoos indicate that the tattooee
feels that they are immortal, and will stay exactly as they are for the
rest of their immortal life but....if you are going to permanently maim
your body with thousands of injections of colored dye....Kate is probably
as good a choice of subject matter as anyone, and better than most.
