IED can only suggest why it MIGHT be considered controversial,
though to date he has overheard no actual KT-on-SNL controversy.
As far as IED is aware, Kate's performance of "The
Man With the Child In His Eyes" on Saturday Night Live is the
only one in which she makes a reference to intravenous drugs.
While singing the line "I just took a trip on my love for you"
she extends her right arm in front of her, makes a fist and
grabs the arm with her left hand just above the elbow, as 
though preparing for an injection.  Although Kate's SNL routine for the song
is essentially the same as in earlier taped renditions, this particular bit
of pantomime is exclusive to 
the SNL performance.
