(At least on the deification). Personally, I don't think it is related to her beauty, just a sign of a very talented artist who appeals to a relatively small group of people. I have seen the same treatment given to early Genesis (with Gabriel) , other early art-rock bands, and Joan Armatrading, to name a few. Personally, I think you do a disservice to the person who is also an artist to think of them in anything but human terms. However, as a new reader of "gaffa", I must say that some of the nicest thoughts and people I've run across on the net seem to reside here, so, do what you will. Question -- I saw a collection of four singles packaged as a Fan Club Pack with a "message from Kate" and a version of "Let It Be" live by Kate "and friends". Anybody tell a neophyte like me what this is ?
