Okay, here's my indoctrination story. . .
Around 1983/84 Greenpeace came out with a compliation album which had
"Breathing" on it. "Breathing" quickly became one of my favorite songs
on the album, and I wanted to hear more. (I had never heard *anything*
like that on the radio, and there was no MTV where I lived.)
So, I bought Never For Ever. I was overwhelmed by the album. (I know
that sentiment shows up on this list a lot, so let me add as well, that
I am easily overwhelmed. But I was OVERWHELMED by this album. [By the
way, does anyone know anyone who was actually "whelmed" the right amount
by anything?])
So I snarfed up "The Kick Inside" and "On Stage". A little while later,
I got "Lionheart" (okay, side one doesn't do too much for me, but I
really like side two.)
The rest is history. I'm almost embarrassed by how taken I am by her;
I bought the marble HoL album, and the Single File, and This Woman's Work,
and I'm still driving a '78 Ford LTD Klunker.
One has to have priorities.
My nomination for Favorite Kate Album: whichever one's currently playing.
Favorite Kate Song: Suspended in Gaffa
Close Second: This Woman's Work
Song I would have most liked to see a video for, but didn't: Jig of Life
Who I'd really like to see Kate duet with: Aaron Neville or Prince
Favorite "Love-Hounds" one-liner this year:
"Kate is 18" tall. Don't be fooled by pictures."
