I figure nobody else will think of posting this for fear of actually WATCHING the program, and I may get a chance to finally get a "Kate sighting" in before anyone else. :) On MTV's decidedly tacky gameshow, "Remote Control", they had an actual Kate Bush video as one of the final "guess the artist" nine videos. Even better, the contestant got it correct! Impressive. - Eo

At about 2 AM Eastern time MTV played a Kate Bush "Rock Block" consisting of "Love and Anger" and "The Big Sky" videos. Frantic efforts to get my VCR ready (at the end of the VH1 interview) in hopes that they would play something I hadn't seen or didn't have on video were fruitless since I have "The Whole Story" video. What I was really hoping for was one of the other Sensual World videos or maybe the performance video of "Running Up That Hill". I'm not sure where this one originated but it was one of my earliest pre-enlightened Kate exposures. MTV showed it a few times late at night instead of the video for "Running Up That Hill" found on "The Whole Story" video. It featured Kate in (I think) a long brown coat, lip syncing and at the end very gracefully drawing a bow. I'd love to see this again. >sigh< I was more than a little disappointed since I wasn't aware that a "Rock Block" consisted of a mere two videos. (Hey does anyone have Kate images in something besides Sun raster format?) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Don't drive too slowly."

I was hearing the audio only through an FM radio (boredom indeed!), and the guy got it in under 2 seconds. Sounded like it might have been RUTH. - Eo
