   Well, we probably have gone off the deep end laughing at badness.
We're big MST3K fans.

   I agree with your opinion about her dancing. I cannot imagine
someone learning "en pointe" (sp? Who cares! That insane, masochistic
ballet toe dancing.) after 30.

   Sorry. I didn't make this one clear. There is only one video to _Love
and Anger_. But L&A was Columbia's choice for a single in the US, and
not Kate's choice for a single.  So the video was made especially for
the US market, and Vickie and I believe it is a Kate's answer to having
to make a special video just for the US.
