- I've been listening to and playing Ms Bush's music for
- sometime now (my wife's a suprano and a pianist and
- I'm a guitarist so it works out well!). I also transcribe
- Kate Bush's music (for personal use ofcourse). So
- all in all I consider myself and my wife to be "fans" of
- Ms Bush. However one thing that has been bothering
- me for a while is this Kate Bush jargon. What's with
- the Kateness, Katemas, Kateicle, and so on and on.
- It reminds me of the sci-fi conventionheads or the
- Star Trekis (I saw them both in Chicago heading towards
- their relative conventions). It also reminds me of
- the episode of Saturday Night Live in which
- William Shatner played himself giving a speech
- at a Star Trek convention. He said "Get a Life,
- people, its not real, its a show, for god sake." I'm
- not implying that Kate Bush fans get a life, BTW.
- I'm just saying that is it necessary to bring the
- ( IMO, rather tackyish) Kate Bush jargon into it?
- This is an honest inquiry, since I absolutely cannot
- visualise of Kate Bush being the be-all-and-end-all
- (however she is a great songwriter/performer/singer)
- I do understand the nature of fan clubs, but why
- this jargoning deal?
