[Norman Buchwald <jbuchwald@csun.edu>]

      A)  Top 20 songs

1)  Jig Of Life
2)  Houdini
3)  Waking The Witch
4)  The Dreaming
5)  Breathing
6)  Running Up That Hill
7)  The Sensual World
8)  Wuthering Heights (New Vocal)*-- I will tally both versions equally 
and simply mention which version won.  The same goes for any dance or 
recording difference to other songs as well.
9)  The Infant Kiss

11)  Pull Out The Pin
12)  Under The Ivy
13)  Suspended In Gaffa

18)  Lily
19)  Oh England My Lionheart
20)  Babooshka

            B)  Top Three Videos

1)  Cloudbusting
2)  Experiment IV (I'm surprised MTV didn't play the hell out of this 
one.)
3)  Hounds Of Love

            C)  Only One album or mini-album
               The Ninth Wave
 
            D)  One question for Kate
            Tell me what you think is going on in your writing processes?

            E)  Least liked song:  Rubberband Girl-- I don't know.  I 
bought this single when it was first released, and have never shaken the 
immediate negative vibes I've had since.  Of course I may be biased since 
I don't like the Spinners' "Rubberband Man," either.

            F)  Kate Bush Cover
                Lord Of The Reedy River by Donovan
                The Dreaming album cover
                Cover of her songs?  None that I like that I've heard.

            G)  Guest appearance:  Guest vocals on Peter Gabriel's  
"Don't Give Up."  (And a note to the person who asked me.  Mentioning 
other type of appearances are okay such as the Fruitopia commercial.)

            H)  How much would I pay for a Kate Bush concert?  I'd pay 
three hundred dollars if she performed in California.  If I have to 
travel in the States to see her:  Four hundred, including travel.  But I 
always wanted to see England, if that's the case. A thousand dollars 
including travel.

Raves:  Tori Amos, Peter Gabriel, Sarah McLachlan, Beatles, U2, Sinead 
O'Connor (except when she renounces any political action she's done.  It 
makes me frown more on that than the original statement she's made), XTC, 
Bjork, Portishead, Yaz, and new wave music in its nostalgic rendition.  
Novels:  One Hundred Years of Solitude, and Toni Morrison's Jazz.  
Fiction Writers:  Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Toni Morrison, Raymond Carver, 
Mary Gaitskill.  Poets:  Yeats, Adrienne Rich, Mark Shorer, Wallace 
Stevens.

 Well, that's my contribution.  Regardless, I can keep "eat[ing] the 
music" and never be full!
