Can only at least smile at this

If not be up dancing myself because it's Monday and at least some of us should be having a bit of fun

It was Kate Bush that inspired me to read the book (Wuthering Heights). After reading it, I loved her even more!

only today as I was driving my young friend (20) around LOndon (I am 51 on THursday) - Cloud Busting came on the radio and we both agreed that she was just ace - thanks to her mum (my best friend - she was a fan having found some old albums).....I had just taken her to the V and A Bowie expo ....sadly she was very sketchy on who he was - back on Kate - Man with the Child in His Eyes - Fab-u-lous!!!! Play your babies Bowie, =Beatles, Stones and Kate - its a gift ....oh and Bob Dylan and Joni....they will thank you!!! Oh and Elton - he is cooler than you think....

I love Kate Bush. I mean, with utter devotion. I had her posters on my wall between 11 and 21. I am a KB nerd. My daughter thinks I'm a freak for my re-playing of Hounds of Love at home all the time.

Events have recently conspired that I could meet KB in the flesh through friends who have kids at her son's school. But - do I want to? Yes, of course. But it might ruin things to see her in school mum mode when she is the grande poetess of the world. I love her too much to let it be ruined by meeting her at such a prosaic event.

Heartache. I wasn't joking about the devotion.

Heathcliffe! Its me, oh Cathy oh come home now

Cutitup · 01/07/2013 23:09

I would ask her: Did Sylvia Plath's poem "This is a picture of me" inspire you to write Under Ice?

bootsycollins · 01/07/2013 23:09

I love Kate Bush too!

Totally get the 'love the music and videos but would she be so fecking amazing in rl' hope she is, think she would be.

Hell does it matter when I love her work so far? Nope. Still think she is cool even if I am too old to be 'cool' and even if she isn't seen as such.

YANBU at all, I have loved Kate since Wuthering Heights and have everything she has ever released.

More than anything I love the fact that she is a bit bonkers and eccentric. Her music just gets to me, it speaks to my soul (wow, that's a bit deep) and is the only stuff which can raise a tear.

On Aerial is an amazing track called A Coral Room with the fab lyric " my mother, and her little brown jug, it held her milk and now it holds our memories". Oh my God that makes me well up every time I hear it.

She's fab! dh fancies her like mad too!

squoosh · 02/07/2013 11:59

I adore Kate, especially This Woman's Work.

Love how reclusive she is too. Take note other 'Oh I'm so hounded by the paparazzi' type celebs.

greenhill · 02/07/2013 11:59

I dreamt about her last night. She was in a red ballet outfit and was very chatty.

clarinetV2 · 02/07/2013 12:17

YANBU. The merest mention of her name has me humming Wuthering Heights complete with arm movements if not quite the whole dance at my desk Go Kate!
