   I don't believe Kate has ever acknowledged Tori's heavy influence, but 
here's my theory.  If you listen to tori's first album, "Y can't Tori 
read", you find nothing but trite glammy trash.  With "Little 
Earthquakes" you hear nothing but theft.  I think Tori got a hold of some 
of Kate's early demos and based her entire direction on those.  If you 
examine closely the structure of the changes in the piano parts,  you see 
some direct plagerism.  Listen to song's like "Keeping me Waiting"' and 
"Davy" and you find the very basis for Toris style entirely.  I think 
Tori has taken the beautiful and original music of Kate Bush and created 
her brand of grotesque, negative, icon attack.  She is a child and I hope 
she stays "Under the Pink".
