I just got this posting in Love-Hounds today (11/9/89), so somebody may have already said this, but I don't recall seeing any response, so here goes: |>oug wrote: > Anybody have any idea what's with this recent trend of Kate lying > about certain things in interviews? > From the *You* interview: > "A friend of the family, Rickie Hopper, introduced us," Kate > recalls.

Sounds to me like she's talking about "Passing Through Air" and not "Maybe". I know that "Passing Through Air" was recorded at Dave's house and not at the initial studio session, but the connection is there anyway. On an entirely different subject, I have heard a lot of bashing about "Reaching Out" lately, and while I admit that the lyrics are not her best, I think the melody and the power and emotion of her voice on this track is really good. After hearing the whole album many times, however, I *still* maintain that "Ne T'en Fuis Pas" is the best thing she ever did. Douglas MacGowan MACGOWAN@NIC.DDN.MIL -------
