For Lovehounds Only: A Kate Bush Questionnaire

[Norman Buchwald <jbuchwald@csun.edu>]

Oh no!  The polls have hit the Gaffa list now (or maybe the newsgroup was 
finally free from them) but what a delightful opportunity for anyone out 
there who felt that they never had anything to say to finally 
participate.  No, no one's going to count this poll (then again, you 
never know), but here's the tough questions.

1)  What is your top ten list of Kate Bush songs?  (No, that's not fair. 
 I'll rephrase the question).  What is your top twenty list of Kate Bush 
songs?

2)  What are your three favorite Kate Bush videos?

3)  If you could only have one Kate Bush album or mini-album which would 
it be?  (This Woman's Work does not count.  Sorry!)  You can include 
bootlegs, demos, etc.  Oh, I think I'll be a bit mean.  Hounds Of Love 
and The Ninth Wave have to be seen as separate mini-albums on this 
question!

4)  If you could ask Kate one question, what would you ask?

5)  What is your least liked Kate Bush song?  (the song that you love, 
but just not as much as all the others.  I'll be fair)

6)  What is your favorite Kate Bush cover?

7)  What is your favorite Kate Bush guest appearance (i.e. "Don't Give 
Up," "Sister and Brother," etc.)

8)  How much would you pay to see Kate Bush in concert?  (For people like 
me who reside in the States, keep in mind that the only performance she 
ever had in the U.S. (that I know of) was on Saturday Night Live in 
1978!)

And if you haven't had enough being interrogated on the net, name some of 
your favorite artists, maybe your favorite novels, fiction writers, 
poets, etc. and all your other raves, so we can all understand the common 
psychology, let me rephrase that, since I already suspect the results.  
Uncommon psychology of the Love Hounds.  Also:  anyone interested in 
taking a stab at transcribing the lyrics not mentioned in the lyrics of 
her songs?  (Example:  The narration in "Jig Of Life," the concluding 
lines of "The Wedding List," latin phrases and their translations.)  I 
find it amusing that while Kate has said that all her albums were meant 
to have the lyrics printed (if they're not the company that's printed the 
CD is being cheap.  I think it sucks that in the U.S., at least, record 
companies tend to not print lyrics after an album's a couple years' old. 
 Fortunately, all the lyrics were printed in English and Japanese (!) on 
my This Woman's Work import.), some of the most puzzling things said in 
her songs are not printed!


I'll start mentioning mine, tomorrow.  Since I have to think out my top 
twenty!
