After careful deliberation and thorough research, I have discovered that
many of you are sadly misinformed in your interpretation of the song
"Wuthering Heights."

It is quite clear to anyone that has read James Osterberg's authoritative
"Book of Screams" that the characters "Heathcliff" and "Cathy" refer to the
characters in the comics section of your local newspaper. The "Heathcliff"
side of Kate Bush's personality reflect her playfulness and love of fat
cats (like Dave Gilmore). The "Cathy" side of her personality is the
neurotic part that is afraid to leave her house and get her butt on tour
for fear that some percussionist will drop a beat (causing a massive uproar
of the fans, followed by hours of booing) or another roadie will go the way
of Spinal Tap drummers (giving her another excuse to stay home and stuff
herself silly with chocolate).

What does the song title "Wuthering Heights" mean? Probably nothing. It
seems those words were chosen by a random word generating program in KB's
Fairlight word proccessor.
