    That Cameron person must feel special, because she actually looked at the camera and said his name and gave a good explaination as to why the fan club is running so late. So many letters back then. I wish I was thought of in 1979, but I was born in 1981 in the US, and found out about Kate in 1993, when I was 12. Saw her 'Rubberband Girl' video and was hooked.

    I was lucky enough to see her live twice on her original kick inside tour. I was a teenager but absolutely enthralled by her and her music. A rare talent indeed but I think that in the modern era we are lucky enough to have a similarly innovative and humble talent emerging with Aurora. She reminds me of Kate Bush with her personality and originality. Her recording company turns her stuff to largely trash but her live sets are on the same level of genius as Kate Bush.

Perhaps they're there somewhere (I'm sure they are, the world is just a bigger place nowadays), I'm just not looking as hard as I used to do when the next great record was going to change our lives....?

    I just want to say that Kate Bush has always been one of my most treasured mentors. I am a singer and a filmmaker, Kate has been doing those things on the highest level possible, always searching for truth trough poetic expression, physical expression, humanity and fantasy. I am very grateful for the spark she has always given me. Together with Billie Holliday, P.J. Harvey (there are other too) she is one of the artists I always return to, fall all over in love with again and again. I am just so in debt to her but at the same time I am not, she is passing on the universal love trough creativity and I will simply pass on the very same flame. I am just so incredibly moved by her but also by, well, the love itself... Words defy me... Finally I wil just say that listening to her music, listening to her words and watching her video's (for which she does not get enough credit, my favorite ones are directed by Kate herself and are among the best short films I have ever seen in my life and thats coming from a bonafide movie-buff) makes me want to be be a more honest artist and even, more importantly, a better person. Sincerely.
