MisK.

IED must agree with Rob Henderson, who asks for general tolerance (at
the least) from skeptical Love-Hounds when the subjects of paganism and
magic(K) arise.  Whether sensible and level-headed or not, it is
unquestionably relevant to any discussion of the new album, and IED
for one would be grateful to learn more about it (he awaits Jason
Pascucci's essay with great interest).  Also, Rob, you needn't feel
that Kate's position on the subject of the paranormal is still
politely neutral -- in one of the most recent interviews she was asked
point-blank whether she believed in it, and her one-word answer
(obviously designed to protect herself from ridicule by her
interviewer) was "Yes."  It is therefore IED's great pleasure to be able
to state categorically that the paranormal does indeed exist.
QED. IED, too.

   P.S.:  Would someone PLEASE reassure IED (and other Love-Hounds,
too, no doubt) that SOMEONE managed to record Kate's appearance on
Canadian television??  Also, could someone be helpful enough to
transcribe and post both the Canadian radio interview and the
television interview, so that those of us to whom Kate's opinions
MATTER MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF can have the chance to read them? Thanks,
folks.

  By the way, the news from an eagle-eyed English Love-Hound about catching the
TotP WH is wonderful -- thank you!! IED dearly hopes that Chris will be
getting in touch with you soon!  Also, if you've the stamina, you
might want to continue monitoring those early shows.  Kate performed
WH twice on the show in 1978, and the video was also shown at least once.
