Oh, I should mention... on the 1 hour commercial for Luke Perry shown on
Fox last week ("Idols"), 98% of the show consisted of mindless teenage
girls screaming, interlaced with pictures of "teen heartthrobs".  Don't
ask why I happened to have it on.  Anyway, near the end of the show,
many of the "teen stars" were asked who their idols were... and amongst
the usual lists of James Dean to Eddie Van Halen, one woman (singer?
dancer?  I wasn't paying attention, but she had black hair) said
"Kate Bush.  Period.  Just Kate Bush."  Made ME look up from my work.
OK, so it's not quite MST3000 level.  More on the Tower Records Pulse DIDs.
