It’s waaaaaaaaaay better than porn! Love this song and love the album. Aye, it's gorgeous. Used to often listen to it in the dark with weed for company. Those were the days. Alas…. those days of Bush listening dark dwelling weed puffing shenanigans are long gone now. Oh the follies of youth. 😂🤣

Oh the follies of youth. 😂🤣 Haha... the day I learned that the lady herself was a stoner my love for and connection to her music made total sense. If she ever decides to grace us with another album I may just spark one up in her honour. Bring it on Catherine!

If she ever decides to grace us with another album I may just spark one up in her honour. Bring it on Catherine! She is indeed. I could never really take to weed myself. I tried it a bit in my youth but the older I got the more I didn’t like what it did to my head. I’ve never fully understood why it’s illegal though. Having said that, I gave alcohol up 7 years ago and I gave caffeine up over a year ago due to my rather addictive personality and tendency to drink about 12 cups a day which is extreme I guess. I was never addicted to alcohol though, I just couldn’t hold it and would turn into an asshole on it which is never nice. Actually, in the last 5 or so weeks Ive been drinking the occasional caffeinated tea and even coffee as I’ve come to the conclusion that a certain amount of caffeine actually sharpens the mind and helps with overall cognitive quality and function. Everything in moderation is good I guess. In theory though I do like the idea of smoking a joint and listening to Katie Bush. A lot of Dylan fans do that as well. I’m not sure what I’m getting at here Cloudbuster, just shooting the shit I guess. 😆👍🏼

I quit it when it stopped being fun and it began to make me depressed. Once that happens you know you've gone as far with a drug as you can. I like a whisky now and again, luckily for me I don't get drunk easily so am able to stay in control. I've no idea why but alcohol doesn't seem to have the same effect on me as it does most people. I must be special, lol. I've a few friends who are alcoholics and, yeah, there isn't any joy in seeing them make a mess of themselves. Coffee? Hadn't drunk it for years until just a couple of weeks ago! Dunno what happened there, still much prefer tea, though. Like you say, everything in moderation. Now, about that (hopefully) forthcoming Kate Bush album and a slight relapse with weed...

Now, about that (hopefully) forthcoming Kate Bush album and a slight relapse with weed... Ah whisky! Christmas Eve 2016, the night George Michael departed and the last time I drank. In fact his death sent me a little more over the edge than usual. My nephew and I spent the night in the kitchen drinking Jack Daniels straight from 2 egg cups. - don’t ask about the egg cups. My mother in law was short on glasses that night as she had a full house and Birthday Party going on. 2 litres of Jack Daniels later I was told I probably needed to go to bed now and I verbally tore into everyone at the party. I insulted the entire room and was severely depressed for 2 weeks afterwards. I had to message and phone everyone to apologise. Had my mother in law in floods of tears. I learned a valuable lesson that night. Just because I’d grown up with this type of behaviour and was used to it didn’t mean other people were. I vowed to never touch it again and I knew I never could because of how utterly low I was for the following 2 weeks. I mean there’s low, and there’s fucking deep low down man. I couldn’t even eat I was so utterly disappointed in myself and empty inside. It was a hard lesson to learn but learn it I did. That night sort of summed up how I felt about that whole year, 2016. Bowie and many others from a better era in music had dropped like flies. Bowie released that incredibly dark epithet Blackstar. I’m not sure if I actually bought it the day before he died. I listened to it once and could never listen to it again. It was too real or something. Maybe I’ll give it another listen some day. I went back to my mates record store the day after his death and bought the Nothing Has Changed collection and listened to that quite a bit. A lot of his stuff I don’t like much but still sort of admire it for its originality. But, I definitely get why people appreciate a good whisky. I’m a tea man myself. 😂 Yeah, weed is a weird one. I remember smoking it in my twenties and feeling quite chill and at one with the world, and again trying it in my late 30’s and feeling quite depleted and being aware that actually I could potentially feel very depressed on this stuff. And that was after literally 1 joint. I had another joint that I threw in the bin after that. Hated the chemical imbalance my brain felt when I retried it. If Kate Bush does give us a new album I’m going full relapse on caffeine! 😂👍🏼☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️

Okay, Bowie wasn't young but Prince and George Michael were in their 50s for goodness sake. George's death didn't surprise me too much, sad to say, but he'd been going off the rails for years. The death of Prince was the real shocker for me. Honestly thought he'd be hitting the stage until the world ended. Bowie's Blackstar is an album I've never really connected with. I like Lazarus and I Can't Give Everything Away, the rest didn't really impress. No idea if it's connected to his death or whether it's just not my thing... eh. 1970 - 1980? Yeah, I'll take that from him. The man was fire during that decade. I've been lucky enough not to screw up too much in front of family, sorry to hear that you had to endure that kind of embarrassment. But, you know, sometimes emotions get the better of us. You should have heard my rants about the injustices of religion a decade or so ago! We all get our passions stirred one way or another. The current pope is now excusing the behaviour of paedophiles. Perhaps no surprise considering the history of the Catholic church...... sometimes there are no words. I'll put my rage in to a glass of whisky. Hugs to you brother. x

Nothing like a bit of humiliation to reset the batteries. 😂🤣 Nah it’s all good. Apart from upsetting the in-laws everyone else saw the funny side to it thank god, although they were probably just trying to make me feel better. The 3 big shockers for me were Prince, Bowie and George Michael. They all seemed to come out of nowhere for me. I’d seen Prince in concert a few years prior and he only looked about 30. I was hoping to see George Michael at some point, and you just assumed these guys will be around forever. There was that point in 2011 when GM almost died from pneumonia. I was actually in Lanzarote at the time and reading a Prince book. But yeah, his health and lifestyle was on a decline for years. The weed ruined him aswell, and the grief for his mother that he never recovered from. Right, I’ll shut up now with all this rambling nonsense. Peace, love, harmony and understanding bro x
