Subject: Is Kate goofy?
To: love-hounds@uunet.UU.NET
Hi there- In the past, Kate has songs that either mention or are heavily influenced by - how should I put it - weirdos. Gurdjieff, Reich, "Strange Phenomena", etc. And now apparently "Lily" is based on something by the biggest weirdo of all, Alister Crowley. My question: Does Kate actually BELIEVE this stuff? Or does she just think it's a good basis for a song? I mean, I don't believe in Orogones any more than I do, say, the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, or God, yet I think "Cloudbusting" is a great song. Is that how Kate looks at it? Or is she goofy? (Unfortunately, all evidence points this way, yet there is always hope...) ON OTHER NOTES: There is a scathing review of TRS in last week's Advocate, but I'm not going to bother to type it in 'cause it's so horrible. A lot of folks here poo-poo TRS 'cause they wanted HOL part II. This guy's upset 'cause it's not TKI Part II! He must have HATED The Dreaming. Jerk. Count me in as yet another who acknowledges Never For Ever's perfection. Yeah, TD's better, but we're just picking nits here... Kate in the Top 40? Yaaay! I don't care if the Grammy folks don't give TRS it's much-deserved "Best Album" award. These are a bunch of Bozos who awarded Milli Vanilli and gave Jethro Tull "Best Heavy Metal Band" award. It's almost an INSULT to be nominated by these kneebiters. Ask me about my Kate mousepad. Aren't you depressed that they cancelled "Cop Rock", so now no one will sing anything from TRS there. On a related note, let's all mourn the passing of The Hat Squad, Mann & Machine, and Small Wonder. She still is! I never doubted it for a microsecond! - Stev0 the weirdo "The Happy Fandom has no right to bitch." - Motto of Happy Rhodes fanclub
