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?
