IMO, your notes are *PERFECT* just as they are!

In the context of your final paragraph, I think citing Sting, Collins and
Clapton makes more sense than including someone like Gabriel.  Although a
more kindred spirit to Kate, I don't believe Gabriel's name would make the
"aristocracy" point any clearer.  

I particularly enjoyed the way in which you indicted the fickle nature of
the rock press.  I, like NME, had been a huge fan from the start, but was
beginning to lose interest by the summer of '85.  Your notes brought it all
back to me -- and made me realize once again that there's no one else quite
like Kate.  Thanks...
