I ask you, can we talk? Lets talk about Kate Bush's sexual
preferences. Listen to "The Infant Kiss" - the lyrics propound the
virtues of sexual attraction with with a grossly underage youth.
This is sodomy! It is illegal in most of these United States
as it is considered statuatory rape.
I ask you, is this "healthier" than the casual recreational
sex that is implied by Mms. Madonna?
I think not, maybe we should think twice before harping
pedastalled virtues. Sick! Sick! Sick!

I don't want to talk, I wanna yell: PLEASE READ THE LYRICS CAREFULLY BEFORE MAKING SUCH CONDEMNATION!!!!!! Some of the lines from the song are "I've never fallen for a little boy before.... His little hand is on my heart He's got me where it hurts me Knock, Knock, who's there in this baby You know how to hurt me.... All my barriers are going, let go let go... There's a man behind those eyes I catch him when I'm bending Oh how he frightens me... Words of caress on his lips They speak of adult love... I must stay and find a way To stop before it gets too much." The character of the song has fallen for the boy because somehow the boy seems to be much more mature then he is. She is frightened and knows it's wrong "back home they'd call me dirty" and she wants to stop it. She is not sexually attracted to the boy. But on the other hand the man in the boy attracts her and a part of her wants to go along "let go let go (don't let go)" "I want to smack but I hold back/I only want to touch". It's all music drama to me, expressing the helplessness the character feels since she is trappped between what she knows is wrong and what a part of her wants to do. I hardly call that "propound[ing] the virtues of sexual attraction with a grossly underage youth." And what's more the word you want is "pedophilia" not "sodomy". Even if you want to post such unfounded opinions at least get your terminology correct! -- Henry Chai Faculty of Library and Information Science, U of Toronto {watmath,ihnp4,allegra}!utzoo!utflis!chai

Propound the virtues? Hardly. She's talking about self-control during the entire song! > This is sodomy! I suggest you check your dictionary. 'Sodomy' is the technical term for male-to-male relations, as 'lesbianism' is for female-to-female relations. >It is illegal in most of these United States > as it is considered statuatory rape. > I ask you, is this "healthier" than the casual recreational > sex that is implied by Mms.

Somehow I think I'm wrong. AMBAR "Be good; if you can't, be careful; if you can't be careful, name it after me!"
