But she couldn't really deny it. http://www.thedent.com/q0598.html "I'll never forget the first time I hear about Kate," Amos recalls. "I was playing in a club, I was 18 or 19 and somebody came up to me, pointed their finger and said, Kate Bush. went, Who's that? I wasn't really familiar because Kate didn't really happen in the States until Hounds Of Love. I was shocked because the last thing you want to hear is that you sound like someone else. Then people kept mentioning her name when they heard me sing, to the point where I finally went and got her records. When I first heard her, I went Wow, she does things that I've never heard anybody do, much less me. But I could hear a resonance in the voice where you'd think we were distantly related or something." So you were never influenced by her directly? "Well... I must tell you that when I heard her I was blown away by her. There's no question." Did you sing along to the records. "Absolutely. But I knew that I had to be careful, so I didn't voraciously learn her catalogue. I left the records with my boyfriend at the time, because I didn't want to copy her." | |

Are you going to the LA signing? It was on Monday... and I just can't make trips to LA on a Monday or Tuesday because those are my busiest days at work. I'm seriously mentally exhausted by the end of Tuesday as it is. I'm not even going to her show in April. | |

Aw shit. Is it on a Monday or Tuesday? And you can't get the day off? I should have, but it's already sold out. It's on a Monday. I try not to take Mon or Tue off, because it's deadline and those are the most important days for me to be here. When I'm on vacation it takes 3 people to do my job, because they all have their own thing to do. I work for a weekly paper. Anywho, I'm sure she will come to San Diego in the summer. I'm kinda bummed I wont see the intimate show though. | |

This story is so very awesome. It's great to meet one of your musical heroes I got to meet Me'Shell N'Degeocello last year and I got to tell her how much I appreciated her art and thanked her for sharing her talent, telling her how much it changed our lives. She signed my favorite CD inlay to "Supa" 2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |

I'll see what I can do. Do not hurry yourself in your spirit to become offended, for the taking of offense is what rests in the bosom of the stupid ones. (Ecclesiastes 7:9) | |
