IED cannot praise highly enough the latest issue of Homeground
(No. 54, Winter '94).  Congratulations to Peter FitzGerald-Morris, and to
Krys and Dave, for giving us a new level of excellence to appreciate and
aspire to. Not only does this issue contain several Kate Bush news bits that
have not appeared in  Love-Hounds (no mean feat that, in itself!), but there
is an always interesting (though by no means infallible!) review of The Red
Shoes album by rec.music.gaffa's founder |>oug /\lan, and an absolutely
fascinating and beautifully written article from our own KLN (Karen Newcombe)
which offers inspired
insight into symbolism in "Under the Ivy".  As if that weren't enough, there
are also several photographs of Kate Bush that 
have never (to IED's knowledge) appeared anywhere before.
Thanks, Peter, for your continuing, invaluable contribution.

 >No one (except Kate, as far as I know - [SB])
 >knows who anyone else is in this song, especially "George the
 >Wipe".

Actually, IED believes that "Teddy" has been identified
as the late John Barratt, assistant engineer at Abbey Road Studios during the
recording sessions for "Never For Ever". 
Kate once revealed his nickname to be Teddy.

Also, an excellent theory about the meaning of "George the 
Wipe" was offered in Love-Hounds several months back.  Anyone
remember, and can any UK member offer further insight into
this reference?
