Oh, lots of silly drivel in a couple of different posts which I won't

Steve, by your criteria, anyone who's ever written a biography, painted a 
portrait, or filmed a documentary about someone is a lifeless dweeb.

I'm shocked at your seeming willful ignorance of how history is 
documented and the type of people who research such things. History 
includes music, as well as art, literature, politics and so many other 
things. I don't know why documenting articles and collecting items 
concerned with Kate Bush is any less important than someone doing the 
same for Cleopatra, Sarah Bernhardt, Mata Hari, Adm. Grace Hopper or any
other woman (or man) who has done something that actually affected other
people in some way, big or small.

One person's "obsession" might be another person's "research papers"
50-100+ years from now. . There are people studying Mozart, Bach and
Beethoven today who probably wish there had been Peter Fitzgerald-Morris,
Ron Hill and Andy Marvick-types running around back when their idols were
still alive. 

Anyway, saying you're a Kate fan too doesn't excuse your rudeness toward
people who do things within the "fandom" that *you* don't agree with.

<ANGRY> <DIATRIBE> <DELETED!> It's not worth it, it's not worth it.
Btw, I think it would be halarious if Hannah did turn out to be Kate's mum.
