Good Lord, IED is truly beyond help on this matter. *One* 16-year-old
performance of Kate's, doubtfully representative of the bulk of her
performance work as represented by Hammersmith, the Christmas special and
what we can glean of her performance preferences from her TV appearances
and videos, and we are to believe that Tori has consciously or
unconsciously based her whole on-stage persona on it. Yeah, right. 

Did you know that American President Bill Clinton regularly consults Kate
on policy matters? It must be true, you can tell by the style of some his
legislation: it relates *directly* to themes present in many of Kate's
songs. He has *been* to England. He has *met* with many of the same TV
personalities Kate has. He plays *saxophone.* Kate wrote the *Saxophone*
Song! Coincidence? I don't think so! Was the "Berlin Bar" line some sort
of code? Were he and her communicating about political strategy even then?
A very *good* question. Who was Bill Clinton with when he *didn't* inhale?
Ask him *that*! He'll *never* say Kate Bush! And that *proves* it was her!
I'd say something about _Experiment IV_, but we're probably being
monitored! 

Just to show I'm open-minded, the next time I am over at Richard & Missy's 
I will endeavor to remember to watch both those clips (do you have 
those?) and if, unlikely as it seems, I have a revelation, I will gladly 
admit it.
