Nelson and Dingleberry,
I know, I know. We all do.
KB stirred the loins of many, but it was knowing that it was HER keyboard, where she sat and composed, that was so arrousing.

But what of the reverse? I repaired one of INXS’ keyboards, and spoke to Mike Hutchins himself. Sometime later, he hanged himself while engaged an act of auto-eroticsm. Coincidence? You decide.

Real men admire the 0B8.

No, real men only admire cold war Soviet synthesisers made out of valves from submarines…

etc…

K. I guess that “sex with internet strangers of unknown gender” is just the price I’ll have to pay for not finding her address out on my own.

Kate Bush lives near me. Nelson if you come round mine we can do the sex, and then go and camp by her extravagant front gate. Deal?

Nah, it was in one of Nigel Rees’ Graffiti books years before that.

Yes, I know, Quote Unquote and all that, but in my defence I was about 15 when I found it at a jumble sale and it had swears in it.

To quote some excellent graffiti, One in Kate Bush is worth ten in the hand.

The video for Babooshka did very funny loop-da-loop things to my 14 y.o. emotions (circa 1983). Not wishing to appear sychophantic, I have to agree with Nelson on the massive Kate Bush crush. Though the words on Hounds of Love suggest she’d be a tricky girlfriend.

(namedrop: An old mate played trumpet on one of her albums in the 90s and went out to her farm in Ireland where she’s got her studio. He came back shuffling his feet and grinning shyly about how utterly lovely she is.)
