      ...and once again that master of music at MIT looks down his
      nose and slyly,but gratuitously, insults another Kate Bush 
      detractor.I feel compelled (Paul Kirsch take notice!!!) to in-
      tercede on this fine person's behalf.

>> tries too hard to be "artistic".

>Well that's just something to be *real* ashamed of!

         ...Doug, your stupidity is something to be *real* as-
         hamed of! This person isn't saying that K--- B--- *is*
         too artistic,but that she *tries* to be artistic!! The
         general implication here is that she fails.

            It's interesting to ask "*WHAT* is an 'Art Rocker'?"
         You seem to define that term yourself!! And specifcally
         to apply to You-Know-Who!! How artistic can a performer be
         who can't get any exposure except on MTV and "Rate-a-Record"
         contests on the local dance stations???!!!

            Even the AOR "dreck" stations seem to want no part in her.
         WMMR,in Phila., was the world's first AOR station,and is con-
         sidered a rather hip one,at that.In addition to the old dino-
         saurs,they play music like "Tears For Fears" and "Simple Minds".
         But do they play K--- B---???!!?? NOOOO!!!

            WXPN,broadcasted as a public service out of Univ. of Penn.,
         is the city's most "with-it" station;Do they play K--- B---?!!! 
 
                 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

          It seems that as a K--- B--- novitiate,my chance of hearing her 
         is on MTV or WCAU,the local "Hot-Hits" station!! I guess that's 
         what it means to follow the careers of "Art Rockers".

              The answer is this;K--- B--- is an ultra-gimmicky pop
         singer whose ridiculous music is not considered palatable
         to American audiences.This neatly explains why serious sta-
         tions want no  part in her,and why only the must adventurous
         pop venues sponser her.She is no more artistic than WHAM!

             Do I need to hear her to come to all these brilliant con-
         clusions?? NOOO,because so much has been written about her on
         this net by people who have heard her,and I read it faithful-
         ly!!

           Let me close this tirade with two points;

      1- Doug Alan has a serious sexual infatuation with K--- B---
         and probably doesn't hear her music anyway!!!!

      2- She is *NOT* an artist,nor worth the time he devotes to
         her on net.music,which he has been asked to **CURTAIL MANY
         TIMES***!!!!

                                             Righteously yours,
                                              Larry Palena
