I hate to break this to you, but it's a *business*. Record companies have one
agenda: make money. It's the only agenda they ever had. More money will not be
spent on Kate Bush until she demonstrates that there would be a profit to be
made by doing so. She has a cult following, so she gets a cult budget. That
record companies can afford to risk launching and carrying the Kate Bushes of
the world is due largely to the profits they make from the Bruce Springsteens
and Nirvanas. Lets be thankful for hit artists; without them, record companies
would chuck it all and go into real estate.
