re: Kate's Looks

Howdy Hownds -

I've lost the original message about whether Kate's looks made her a 
success, as well as a follow-up message (sorry, everyone, I'm a Mac bull 
stumbling around in a PC china shop).  But for what it's worth, (1) I've 
been a hound for about two years now (started on a whim with TD after 
David Toop referenced it in an interview, and dang I'm glad!!)  (2) my 
only prior knowledge of Kate was very dim memories of the vidoes for 
Cloudbusting and Experiment IV, and you can hardly say she's at her most 
attractive in these!  and (3) I'm gay, and she could look like Newt 
Gingrich for all I care.  (uh, well maybe not Newt, but you get the 
gist.)

Sure, I was socialized like every other presumed-straight man in the 
Western world to recognize what is "supposed to be" attractive in a 
women, and sure, I can see that Kate fits the bill by most criteria.  
But it makes/made/will make no difference to me.  I just hope she never 
stops making music, no matter how long the wait between albums.

Are there actually any Hounds out there who listen to her primarily 
because she's "hot"?
