I have to correct you as well, Wendy. The boy named Johnny was actually
a girl (the title of the song is "A Girl called Johnny", but I don't
know what the first Waterboys-hit ever was. "The Whole of the Moon" no
doubt was the biggest hit here in Holland.

Mike Scott by the way is in more ways connected to Kate Bush. On the
inlay of the Waterboys album 'Dream Harder' he speaks about a dream in
which he meets Kate. The dream he describes is, as all dreams, very
confusing, so I can't really tell you more about it. But I can really
recommend this album to you (as for all the Waterboys albums, especially
Room to Roam). He went solo a few years ago and made a great album. End
of this month, beginning of next, a second solo-album of Mike should
come out.

Some say that knowledge is something that you'll never have...
