   Actually, *Kate* wanted to promote the film, the record company
wanted to promote the album. Columbia exhibited zero interest in showing
the film now that Kate is back in the UK. I called the squid in charge
of arranging showings, and he told me that all showing were canceled,
and that they weren't even sure that they would even release it on tape.
   Columbia would probably prefer a film-free version of the video,
but were afraid to ask Kate for *yet another* version.
