Can anyone who has seen it speak to why it's named after the Kate Bush song/album?

It should Never For Ever be permitted.

And pretty much everything else happened to Joe Papp.

Also the title of a Miles Davis album and a documentary on the fight against Apartheid, among other things.

For the record (from a quick Googling of the word):

Kathy Bates gets my vote.

I listened to it a few times when it was new, and wasn't blown away. I just purchased it to give it another try.

Yeah, it starts out okay, but gets a little on the nose as it goes along.

You're too busy.

She's got the whole "witch queen" look going and I am very here for it.

Yeah, I have never, ever gone to Kate Bush for political commentary. "Army Dreamers" is the only political song of hers I can think of, and I don't know of any history of activism. For better or worse, it's doesn't seem to be her thing.

I have heard "Tori Amos is like an American Kate Bush" many times, but I just don't get it. She sounds so effortful and earnest by comparison. I don't dislike her stuff, but it doesn't speak to me at all.

Hey now, you're not giving "Constellation of the Heart" nearly enough credit for its dreadful lyrics.

"The Red Shoes" is a flawed album (the production is so 1993 it hurts and the last few songs are really bad), but it has enough wonderful songs that I actually kind of love it. No album with "Moments of Pleasure" on it can be considered a waste.

The first time I heard "Wuthering Heights", I thought it was the most god-awful caterwauling ever recorded, and the video positively deranged. A few years later, I suddenly thought of it again, fell down the YouTube rabbit hole, and emerged a super-fan a few days later.

Another reason she didn't tour again after The Tour Of Life was the death of her lighting engineer in an accident, which was (understandably) devastating for her: https://en.wikipedia.org/wi…

I'm just here to say "The fact that Holly Hunter's best role of the past 15 years was in THE INCREDIBLES is a goddamn travesty".

Love her work, and digging this new album. I don't think that any of the songs reach the heights of the first few tracks on "Come Home To Mama" (especially her version of "Proserpina", which is one of the most gorgeously heartbreaking songs I've ever heard), but overall it's a stronger album. I hope it does good

"If we designed an actress from the ground up, we couldn’t have done better.”

He's done a couple of Broadway shows in the last few years—LOVE LETTERS in 2014 and a highly praised revival of GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS in 2005—so it's certainly possible he'll do another show at some point. I'd certainly love it if he did.
