I’ve been a big fan since I heard “The Man With the Child in His Eyes” on a Boston FM station back in 1978. She’s successful overseas but never caught on here in America. If told people I like Kate Bush looks of puzzlement would cross their faces and they usually asked if she was related to the president. Now, it’s great to see her getting the attention she deserves here in America and renewed interest around the world as well.
Kate Bush has been one of my absolute favorite singers since I was about 17- way back in 1997. I connect so deeply with many of her songs, but "Running Up that Hill" was a psychic vision she had about me and then wrote the song.
Nah. Not really. But it has felt like it since 2007, when my soul was left cut in half.
Reading everything I can on the MAJOR THING that happened to American women this week and will eventually affect the world because that’s how things seem to go. (Might have even been a bigger story than Kate Bush’s old songs, Substack.) I recommend reading Anne Helen Peterson and Jessica Valenti. They’ve got some great words to share.
My son started a new publication called Human Connection where he shares the stories of Ukrainian refugees whom he and his translator interviewed during his recent trip to Poland. The goal is to connect humans with humans and not just with the nightly news. Check it out! https://hmnconnection.substack.com/

Substack Reads: Why Kate Bush appeals to teens; solstice nights; and chasing pink
This week I enjoyed:
This post on the nature and likelihood of invention and scientific discovery: https://mattsclancy.substack.com/p/how-common-is-independent-discovery
This post on DALL-E: AI art https://kneelingbus.substack.com/p/185-the-painted-word
And I was blown away by this piece about Cole Summers, who was an extraordinary entrepreneur at an equally extraordinary young age: https://www.commonsense.news/p/how-to-be-a-pioneer?r=r9472&s=r&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Read that Kate Bush was earning around $250,000 per week from streaming now...

I hadn’t heard of this song until it was featured on Stranger Things 4. Glad that I watch the show and now know of the song!

Hi

My Substack is called The Musician.
May I interest you in recommending an interview I did back in 2019 with russophile Mark Galeotti?
