  Excuse me?  I must not be reading this correctly.  How can you call
Kate Bush timeless?  Her earliest music is barely a decade old.

  An earlier posting prompts me to write, but--and let me make this
perfectly clear--ONLY IN JEST:  "Listening to Kate Bush is a lot like
staring at the sun--it's not a good idea."
