4.5. Other Artists using Kate Bush's Work part3
Books mentioning Kate Bush:
(usually, these quotes are the only connection these books have to
Kate, there are no other mentions or links from the story to her.)
Terry Pratchett - Eric
"Many people think it should have been a hydrogen molecule, but this is
against the observed facts. Everyone who has found a hitherto unknown
egg-whisk jamming an innocent kitchen drawer knows that raw matter is
continually flowing into the universe in fairly developed forms,
popping into existence normally in ashtrays, vases and glove
compartments. It chooses its shape to allay suspicion, and common
manifestations are paperclips, the pins out of shirt packaging, the
little keys for central heating radiators, marbles, bits of crayon,
mysterious sections of herb-chopping devices and old Kate Bush albums.
Why matter does this is unclear, but it is evident that matter has
Plans."
This footnote in "Eric" is also mentioned in David Langford's book
"Terry Pratchett's Discworld Quizbook - The Unseen University
Challenge", a book featuring various curious tids & bits from the
discworld series.
Rene Appel - The third person
"... From the old poster, Kate Bush looked at her full of compassion.
Girl what are you doing here with this old doll if life outside is
luring. ..." [translated from (original) Dutch by EN]
Neil Gaiman and Ed Kramer (editors) - The Sandman Book of Dreams
Grahan Dombkins [GD] writes:
In one of the stories, "Escape Artist" by Caitlin R. Kiernan we
look into the early life Alvin Mann or as we all know her Wanda from
the "A Game of You" Sandman story arc. It's a very moving story about
Alvin's attempt to escape from his impossible life. His only friend is
a girl Charlotte who, it turns out, is a huge KaTe fan! We are told
that as soon as she heard the new Kate album "she had skipped school,
hitched all the way to Junction City and pocketed the cassette at
Kmart". The album was The Dreaming and the important song (for the
story) is Houdini. The theam of escaping is key in all this. Caitlin
Kiernan weaves KaTe's lyrics from Houndini into the story. Charlotte is
very much a rebel and would do things like lie in front of oncoming
trains to scare the driver. They listen to Houdini and wait in the path
of an oncoming combine harvester, except this time "this in no trick"
and you realise that they mean to die.
