I have a special promotional 'magazine' dedicated entirely to tori that was put 
out right before Little Earthquakes was released.  I called the music buyer for 
our company AS SOON as I saw (in bold, in the middle of one page, with the 
article text wraped around it) "I've been hearing comparisons to Kate Bush for 
a long time now, but I don't hear it" or something like that.

If this message posts, (I've tried 3 times now...) please note that I will dig 
it out of my tori collection and post direct quote, including date and original 
publication....
