kate bush simple & prety


Kate Bush (born Catherine Bush 30 July 1958)[1] is an English singer-songwriter, musician and record 

producer. Her eclectic musical style and idiosyncratic vocal style have made her one of the United Kingdom's 

most successful solo female performers of the past 30 years.

Kate Bush wishes people would stop “prattling on” about divas. “I don’t understand why so many are against 
 a ‘diva,’ ” the 52-year-old singer says via phone from her island estate, located in the thick of the Thames 

River near Reading, just west of London. “I think it equals mastery. If a woman is given this title, you know 

there is some serious work going down in her life.”

Bloomsday this year brought me a very pleasant surprise in Slate magazine’s splendid set of links for celebrating Ulysses online. It also reminded me that in spite of best intentions I’ve yet to get to a record shop 

and purchase Kate Bush’s The Director’s Cut, with its allegedly ‘warmer’ and ‘more organic’ re-workings of her material circa 1989-1993,

On her first album in six years, reclusive British singer Kate Bush revisits 1993's The Red Shoes and 1989's 

The Sensual World, sometimes reworking the tracks almost entirely.

Fans have cried out against such "butchery" but the truth is that Bush has given new life to nostalgic tunes, 

looking again at her music without sentimentality and with daring.

It's unreasonable to expect Arctic Monkeys to retain the breathless teenage verve and vitriol of their classic 

debut, 2006's "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not." On their subsequent two albums, they 

turned heavier and grungier, even drafting Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age to help with 2009's "Humbug.

Who isn't tempted to rewrite the past?

No matter how loudly and often people claim to have no regrets, there's a common desire to tweak and edit 

your life to suit your current self-image.

Witness every single memoir ever published.
