I just spoke to Vickie at her work number, and she is extremely frustrated because they can't post, although Chris can occasionally pick up their e-mail. (Their phone has been disconnected, and they don't expect it to be reconnected any time soon.) She saw the discussion about "Get out of My House", and she is amazed that no one has pointed out that Kate herself has said that the song is based on Stephen King's book _The Shining_. (NOT the Kubrick movie.) Vickie says Kate has said this many times, both in print interviews and in audio interviews. Ed ed@das.llnl.gov

I also pointed out that according to Kate's remarks it is the conflict itself that is subject of the song and that the exact cause of the conflict isn't all that important. It seems to me that there have been several songs like this where Kate has said that the key to the song is the general feeling or idea but we forge right on ahead and get bogged down in the peripheral details.

I saw someone else's post to the same effect also. Do my postings not count 'cause I'm not a regular contributor and don't break into hosannas at the mention of Her Name? I saw one followup to my post, at least, so it made it through the pseudo-moderator, right? Oh well, time to crawl back into the woodwork... -- Larry Spence larry@csccat.cs.com ...{uunet,texsun,cs.utexas.edu,decwrl}!csccat!larry

It's just that although I'm the one who posted that message from Vickie, I haven't been paying much attention to that thread, so I don't know who said what. I assumed Vickie knew what she was talking about when she said that no one had mentioned this Stephen King connection. But her link to the newsgroup is tenuous, so she might have missed your posting. In any case she is continuously at least half a week behind nowadays. Ed ed@das.llnl.gov
