4.1. Kate Bush - her career and Kate as a human being
Kate's first appearance in the public was a little tour through a few
London pubs together with the so called KT (read: Katie) Bush Band.
All of Kate's albums have the KT (originally Knights Templar) symbol
hidden somewhere either on the cover or on the vinyl itself (see section
4.6). You might have to have original UK versions of the albums to find
them. The KT initials can also be seen in the "Army Dreamers" video.
The release of the This Woman's Work boxed set there appeared a new
version of the KT symbol that includes _O_
the biological symbol for woman: |<
Fans of Kate were saddened by the news of the passing of her mother on
Valentine's day, 1992. (We don't know for what cause, sorry.)
FAQs and most common answers:
She's born on July 30, 1958. She's not married, but you should bury all
hopes since her bassist and engineer, Del Palmer, is her one and only
for too many years now. Kate smokes, but is very reluctant to show this
bad habit in public. Kate, if you ever read this: count my vote as one
who wants you to stop! Kate is a vegetarian, though she now eats fish.
She's 5'3" (1.60m) and doesn't have a middle name. She has two brothers,
John Carder Bush (Jay), born 1944 - he takes many of the photos of Kate
that appear on her albums - and Paddy Bush, born 1952, who plays many of
the exotic instruments found on Kate's albums. If you want to know how
beautiful Kate is, listen to her music ;-)
No, she doesn't hate to tour, just can't find the time between making
albums and videos.
Yes, she appeared on Saturday Night Live on December 9, 1978 (With
host Eric Idle of Monty Python fame), but the tape you can purchase of
that show has her edited out! Yes, that's Donald Sutherland in the
Cloudbusting video. No, we don't have her home address, though we
know that she has just bought a house in Reading.
No, it was not Kate Bush but rather Kate Simmons who appeared nude in
Penthouse several years ago. (These pictures were also used on the
bootleg Dreamtime.)
