Thread the first: Kate Photos. Pull out yer Kate Books, kids, and read along with Uncle Stev0! Worst kate photo: In "Kate Bush - an Illustrated Biography" (OK, it's a lame book, but it's the first Kate book I ever saw) - pg. 47, a photo of Kate with chat show host Russell Hardy. Kate looks like she is being poked up the butt with a cricket bat. Personal fave photo: In "Kate Bush - a Visual Documentry (A must-have for any Kate Fan), pg. 57. Mmmmm, yes! I LOVE that hat! Now, turn to page 32. Lame picture of Kate, but GREAT shot of Michael Palin. Thread the second: Someone said The Dreaming got "mixed" reviews? The only controversy I can see involving TD is whether it's the best album on the Earth or in the Solar System. Me? I think it's the best in the whole damn GALAXY! Thread the third: Re: Theodore. I did NOT buy it just for Kate (Hell, I never bought the soundtrack to "She's Having a Baby", and I know I made the right choice). I also like the Psych Furs, O Positive, and a few other bands on it. And yes, I got turned onto a couple of bands by it (most noticably Poi Dog Pondering), but overall, if I had to do it over again, I would NOT have bought it. There are NO "Great" cuts on it (this is NOT IMHO. This is a scientific FACT!), and the lame ones far outweigh the good ones (3rd Bass? Gimmie a break! OK, they may be the best "White Rap" group, but that is like saying "the most honest lawyer" or "most compassionate Republican". Not quite an oxymoron, but veddy veddy rare. Thread the fourth: What songs would *I* like Kate to Kover? Oh Bondage, Up Yours - X-Ray Spex Close to You - The Carpenters Nazi Punks Fuck Off - Dead Kennedies Feelings - Every lounge singer ever made Lord of the Reedy River - Donovan (naah, she's never do this one...) The Day my Baby Gave Me a Surprise - Dev0 Any Donna Summer 70's disco song Inna Gadda Da Vida - Iron Butterfly The theme from The Mary Tyler Moore show Pocket Calculator - Kraftwerk Thread the last: Have you ever noticed how much Kate Bush looks like Don King? -- Steve Berlin (Stev0) | "Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm a man of Stev0@sti.com | wealth..." - George H. W. Bush
