Kate.  Most definitely.  I would hardly be accused of being an artist.

SNL was my first exposure to Kate also.  If I remember correctly, she did
two songs: Them Heavy People and .... (I don't remember the other one). 
Eric Idle was the guest host I think. Funny thing is, I have never seen
that particular program again.  Comedy Central show SNL reruns to death,
but never that one.

I have stopped going to a.m.p-f.  Half the people there are Roger Waters
fans who do nothing but put down Gilmour and his music.  "That fat bastard"
was pretty mild compared to the usual fare.

Possibly, but in this case I think it was more a case of Dave Gilmour
haters roiling the waters, so to speak.
