Has Kate changed your life at all?

[Emmshaw@aol.com]

HELLO EARTH!

Has your love of Kate Bush changed your 
lifestyle or behaviour?

I'm researching the way in which fanclubs 
in general - and the whole Kate Bush network 
in particular - are organised and affect 
those who become involved. It seemed natural 
to begin with the one in which I feel most 
at home myself, so do let me have your own thoughts.

Specifically, I'm interested in:

1. What Kate-related song or happening most 
touched your lifestyle?

2. Have any aspects of the matters discussed by 
love-hounds on rec-music-gaffa become incorporated 
into your life?

3. How important to you is the whole Kate wah-wah 
(discussion group, Gaffawweb, and the more ephemeral 
and infrequent meetings at conventions & parties; 
Homeground and the like)?

4. In what way or ways would your life be different 
without the Kate "network" (NOT the music itself; 
just the various outlets for fans thenselves to 
find a voice and a forum)?

5. Finally; do you have other interests in your 
life which you would describe as being as dominant 
as Kate and the forums which her music gives us 
for expression?

PLEASE, PLEASE DO e-mail me privately <emmshaw@aol.com> 
on this or any other aspect of Kate Bush which has 
changed your lifestyle or behaviour; alternatively, 
you may wish to share your comments with the list as a whole.

I'll be sure to let you know of any conclusions I reach.

Cheers for now
