I agree with the general idea. I see Kate Bush and Tori Amos 
as very good complements to eachother. When I'm in the 
what-a-great-world-full-of-wonder-we-live-in mood, I listen 
to Kate Bush. When my personal demons pop up from my sub-
conciousness, I play Tori Amos.

whoa, Now you're out of line, mister!
The majority of Love-Hounds and Gaffans have not had the chance to
say even 'hi' to Kate  (neither have I :-(   

BUT there are people here who have talked to Kate to some extent.
How can you know that she has not shared some of her secrets?

True enough.

I've never read a Tennyson poem (maybe I should), but I agree that
Kate has this ability to make one loose onself in that other 
world/story that she's telling about.
That's one of the reasons I absolutely don't like Moments of Pleasure:
too much sentimental, and self-indulgence in sorrow(?) and emptiness.
ASIL is sad, but at least not that sentimental, and it got BLUES!

A very interesting opinion. It makes one think. 
Hmm... Yes, Tori express things that Kate is "too proper" to address.
"too proper" is the closest thing I can come up with at the moment.
(problems with Native Language versus English...)

Had you written just 'valid' and not added 'invalid',
IED might had argued. ;-)
