    Actually it's almost a direct quote from Kate. She had (years ago)
mentioned something about the phallic symbolism of guitarists
"...obviously wanking away up there." 

   Those interested in seeing Kate all dolled up as a "Rock Guitar
Goddess" should see the picture on the back of the single of
_Babooshka_. Picture Kate in black heels, turquoise satin pants,
with a sheer purple skirt over them, and a purple sequin jacket
over a low-cut red top, squatting playing a Fender "Jazz Bass"
with the body nestled between her legs.

    No it was simply dumb. I pointed out that "fox" was somewhat
demeaning, especially when there are so many other, better words
to describe Kate (just ask IED.)
