Q: "Is there a woman who was a role model for you musically?"

A:  "As I was growing up, I kept my ears open.  Whether it was Debbie 
Harry or Laurie Anderson or Kate Bush or Joni Mitchell, they all 
affected me.  You know, the dangerous thing about listening is that 
you don't really knkow the effect it's going to have.  It can have a 
profound effect;  you don't know who your next teacher's going to be. 
 I don't discount that I was always listening and that I picked up 
things from artists, male and female, who weren't necessarily on my 
record player."

Q:  "What was the first album or song that you recall rocking your 
world?"

A:  "Kate Bush, 'Wuthering Heights.'  I was 16 years old, living in 
Consort, Alberta, in the middle of nowhere, and by the magic of God, 
it got on the radio, and I just about died."

Page 179-181, High Notes - Women have been responsible for some of 
rock & roll's most influential recordings.  Here's a selective 
discography...

Page 180 - Kate Bush, The Kick Inside.  Armed with a four-octave 
range and a prodigious talent on the piano, British singer/songwriter 
Kate Bush began recording at 16.  Four years later, her well-crafted 
first album, 'The Kick Inside', became the prototype for art rock, 
girly-girl style.  Tender ballads like "The Man With the Child in His 
Eyes" displayed Bush's lovely soprano, which careened into the 
stratosphere on "Wuthering Heights" (her take on Emily Bronte).  
Bush' musings and dramatic flair would impact future piano goddesses 
such as Tori Amos, among others.  (1978, EMI America)
