Hi there!

Well, this weekend I had a heart-warming Kate Experience that I swear
is true...

I was checking out a new record store in the area (contrary to popular
belief, I do NOT live in record stores!  I live in bookstores, but
take frequent holidays into record stores).  I was in one corner of the
store, when I saw two girls, about ages 5 and 7, shuffling down the
corrider chanting "KateBushKateBushKateBush" like a mantra being chanted
on a sugar rush.  A few minutes later, I saw the elder one holding up a
copy of TRS, waving it at her Mom in that universal kid way of saying "If you
don't get this for me, my life will have no meaning!", whining in that
irritating way that only little kids and Morrisey can do, saying "Buy this,
Mommy!  Buy this, Mommy!  Buy this, Mommy!"  Then the Mom sighed in that
universal Mom way, saying, "OK...."

P.S. Is anyone telling these poor folks asking "Where's Gaffa?" about
Lovehounds?
