Andrew D. Simchik here: I just bought a terrific book called "Kate Bush: A Visual Documentary" by Cann and Mayes from a local bookstore, and whether it is a definitive source remains to be seen, but in any case, it contains the following quotes. Regarding "Wow!": "...this actor has a problem: many successful performers are gay, but some are too gay--'will never make the Sweeney, be that movie queen. He's too busy hitting the vaseline'--which may hold your hair in place but is better known from pre-Aids days as a sexual lubricant....For many gay actors there is no place in the mainstream--we'll call you--'but don't hold your breath.'" Regarding "Kashka from Baghdad": "Kate is experiencing alienation again. Cut off from the laughter and love of two men, this time she is not alone in her joylessness. The loving couple are shunned by old friends and never walk abroad in the dark moonlit world. There is" This seems to be a good source primarily because the info is cited as coming from a "phone-in" by Kate herself. I think this clears things up quite nicely. --Andrew D. Simchik
