Although I have many strong feelings on the subject of Kate Bush, I would not attack a colleague. I suspect someone knowledgable in the use of computer networks such as Mark Horton or Rob Pike or Sunny Kirsten (bitch) did this to tarnish my otherwise illuminating insights in net.music. I suspect one of them has a very advanced AI expert system for generating articles apparently written by me. The realization that the algorithm for my thinking process has propogated over the net gives me a new feeling of imortality! I hope they wrote down the method they use to emulate me. Cause then, even long after I'm dead, I will exist on that piece of paper. Perhaps my algorithm will even infect people's minds and they will become me. The whole world might eventually become filled up with me's. It will be great! Why do I even go on bothering to keep life within this useless piece of flesh I now inhabit? I've transcended all that! I'm disposing of this useless body tomorrow, but before I do, I'll send them all my Kate Bush albums, fanzines, photographs, videotapes, blow-up loves dolls, and used panties to put with the Doug Alan algorithm so that it will always be happy too. I must confess I had mixed feelings upon reading about Kate Bush's personal life. On the one hand I love Kate Bush more than any other human in the whole world. On the other hand, the silly Yuppie preciousness of her stage persona sends me into a real mean mood. Feelings of humiliation, degradation, and *ation overwhelm me and my special friends! Since Mr. Jansic's posting I have been doing some thinking while examining my Indian arrowhead collection and I have decided to destroy all my Kate Bush Memorabilia. It's not as if this will be completely painless either. I have already had strong irrational desires to harm myself just to remind me what Kate Bush really means as I burn the many locks of her hair I have saved. Also there is my set of original art works done in black watercolors (black is Kate's favorite color) that represent my most personal feelings about Kate Bush that I will donate to anyone out there who dares to ask for them!!! I consider this conversation about Kate Bush to be closed. Bitch. Even if her last record The Dreaming was overproduced she is still very compelling and elusive. I will have to get a cheaper stereo system or a low-fi CD player. Sometimes I decide I will never listen to Kate Bush again and other times I can't imagine not listening to Kate Bush every day. It's like self-contradictory :-). Maybe there is a meta-language to describe these kinds of situations. This reminds me of a Koan. If the buffalo runs, he will fall into the trench; If he returns, he will be butchered. That little tail Is a very strange thing. I have heard Kate's next album *will* be on CD and is entitled "Ain't No Such Thing as an Ugly White Woman". Can anyone confirm this or provide new information? "I see myself suddenly on the piano, As a melody My terrible fear of dying, no longer Plays with me. :-) For now I know that I'm needed For the symphony." Doug
