As a fellow resident of the Boston area, Doug, I can't say I've been so
overwhelmed with this KateBushamania, though I have seen the video
twice on V66.  Relax, the commercializing isn't so powerful or rampant
as you make it appear.  It'll be gone before you know it so try to enjoy
her exposure while you can being that you've been hankering for it.
Love that marble vinyl, too!

P.S. You should try listening to BCN some too.  Sounds to me like you
     missed the live telephone interview with her last week!
