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
