I prefer to just put on The Dreaming and let it wash over me. Same goes with most music I listen to. I am interested in the meaning behind Kate's songs, but I don't feel that I can interpret them (well I can interpret *some* of them...). Something that hasn't been mentioned in the GOoMH discussion is that just after she says "I turn into the Mule", the man says something - I can't make it out. Also, during the Hee Haws the man is talking - can't make that out either... mike -- Michael Graham | "The only thing I know about backmasking is that graham@ug.cs.dal.ca | when you play your records backwards it f*cks mgraham@ac.dal.ca | your stylus" - Bruce Dickenson
