Kate Bush
The cult singer was born in 1958 in Erith, Kent, England. Kate began
playing piano at a young age, and by her mid-teens had composed
over 200 songs. Her talent caught the notice of David Gilmour (Pink
Floyd) who assisted in arranging her contract with EMI. The first song
she released, "Wuthering Heights", soared to #1 in England in 1979.
Since then Kate has achieved a notable career as a singer and musician.
Kate began producing her own albums and videos early on. Her growing
interest in film was highly evident in the 1985 video for her song "Cloud-
busting" which starred Donald Sutherland, which is a mini-film in itself.
Another 1985 video, "Hounds of Love", is a tribute to Hitchcock. Following
the release of her 1993 album "The Red Shoes", influenced by filmmaker
Michael Powell, Kate produced the short film The Line, the Cross & the Curve
(1993), using five songs from the album as a basis for the film in a mysterious,
mythical retelling of the tale of The Red Shoes. Ranked #78 for FHM's 100 Sex-
iest Women (1995). Ranked #46 on VH1's 100 Greatest Women of Rock N Roll
(1999). Teamed with Brian Eno to design Christmas cards for the charity

Q of THE WEEK: Timing and Decisions (see Monday)

Marie (aka ~'Reezie'~) Atlanta Georgia
www.myspace.com/reezzie

MARIE SAYS: My daughter and I lived in S. Carolina and had no
family at all there. We were miserable and wanted so bad to move
to Georgia to be with my brother and his family.

Well I had an awesome job with a company of 4 years and there was
no way I could financially afford to quit and move. One day Amber was
in a horrible car wreck and broke her back which took lots of surgury
and time to heal.

I ended up losing my house because I couldn't keep up with all the bills.
So I just quit my job sold all I could and moved to Georgia.

Since then my world has changed so much. Amber has made a full
recovery and brought into the family my sweet grandson 2-years old now.

I met the man of my dreams and we are all so happy and I have my family
with me. To think I was so afraid of change that I allowed myself to be so
unhappy for years.

JONATHAN: It is so interesting how one's life path can change by one
decision Marie.

Paula Cardiff United Kingdom
www.myspace.com/ktcatvstyger

PAULA: Hi Jonathan, Well actually it was a decision I made in 3 stages:

Stage 1. I didn't press the 'Delete' button.

Stage 3. I gave him my hotmail address.

My life has changed forever.

Love Paula x

Q of THE WEEK: (see Monday)

Mish Portland Oregon
www.myspace.com/sonicmedusa
www.myspace.com/sadonation
www.myspace.com/cheapdamage

MISH SAYS: I would have to say suggesting to Johnny Fandango
from Sartre's Lobster, hey maybe we should do a song together,
as I was wanting to move forward and try a new direction with
my music.

One turned into five, Cheap Damage was conceived.

Add to that, my recording engineer, Marty for the SL and CD recordings
here and I, from working on this project have started working on another:
a Satyricon tribute CD (a legendary club in Portland that's since closed)

Since then, we've finished two and are now co-writing a new album. We
are getting positive response and will be releasing the first song as a single
to radio in the coming weeks as Sartre's Lobster.

So Cheers Johnny, thanks for the wild ride... LurveNballgags

JONATHAN: Get in touch Mish to send me a copy when you are ready. I'd
like to hear what you've done.

Dana Cologne/Köln Germany
www.myspace.com/danacolonia

DANA: Hi Jonathan, there was one decision that changed my life
completely. It was September the 11th, 2 am at the Bigfoot Lodge
in L.A., I decided to stay.

Now I am married, living together in Germany.

Hope all is well Jonathan. Long time no speak.

JONATHAN: Hey, I know where the Bigfoot Lodge is-lol. Yes it has
been awhile Dana. But I know you are very busy working. I remember
when you got married. I am so happy for you.

Joanne Manchester England
www.myspace.com/joanneprettygreeneyes

JOANNE SAYS: My answer to your question of the week is, I decided
after being the victim, of abuse, after having my skull bashed in, having
a hemorage and 2 blood clots, seizures and, being put on different types
of medication, and after 2 years, that it's taken to get to this stage I am
the person I have always been.

It's been the partners I have chose, their insecurities. It's nearly 2 years
now, and I've been to hell and back.

The pathway I left behind, is gone forever, and my choice of who's company
I'd like to keep. Who do I like, and most of all is this good for me or not.

My dreams, my destiny. I have visions, and I'm not afraid, but is timing the
right word? Because I could say, If only I wasn't in that carpark, my timing
was wrong, but look what happened ???

Life is not if onlys, life is to hell with timing, do what's right for you, and that
is the most valueble lesson you can learn.

And I'm glad, I got my timing right, to read Jonathan's bulletin, or you would
have missed me, lol

Jojo xxxxx

JONATHAN: Yes, Joanne, you sure sound like you've been to hell and back.
Bad choices in partners can definately alter your life. Glad you are back on
the right path.

Keren Stroud, Gloucestershire United Kingdom
www.myspace.com/kezisyours

KEREN SAYS: The decision was out of my hands. My husband left me
back in april last year, saying no one else involved....but there was a
girl 17-years younger than him.

Took me 12 months to get over it really.

Lost my job too as he wouldn't help out and collect them (kids) from
school. I'm now fighting back.

Lost 10kg in gym in 8-weeks and really happy with life at the moment.

I got 2 beautiful children.

Yes, I'm out of work at the moment, but I've spent the past year getting
to know my kids as I always worked before.

Life couldn't be better.

JONATHAN: You've had it tough Keren. But you have overcome,and by the
way it sounds, yes, your life is better. Good for you!

Q of THE WEEK: Timing and Decisions.

Jodi (aka *jOdi*sTaR*) Seattle Washington
www.myspace.com/jodistar

JODI SAYS: What decision? Deciding to follow my heart and just
go for it with my boyfriend. (from Ohio to Seattle)

Not from Ohio to Seattle though...go for it as far as to get into a
serious relationship with a musician...go for it :)

Cuz he is on tour all the time :-( boo.

But we talk on the phone constantly :)

I'm doing great ~jodi :) how are u?

Jonathan: I think that's teriffic Jodi. Me, I'm doing fine, thank you. :-)

MariskA United Kingdom
www.myspace.com/purpledazed

MARISKA SAYS: I guess the passing of my mum was the most
painful and life changing phase.

I promised her I'd do a lot of things in my life differently, and so
far I have.

Peace...J...x

JONATHAN: I'm sure MariskA, that the things you are doing have
been quite positive.

Micky Rage (aka Aldo Rox) San Francisco
www.myspace.com/mickyrage

MICKY SAYS: From Remix to Rebirth:

I'm just a musician. I didn't like my music, the industry, my life,
myself. For this I remained on the fringe of the musical community.

Last year I entered a small competition to remix a song. I was asked
to open an account on Myspace and post the song were it would be
reviewed.

That lasted about a week, I quickly ditched the track, upload some original
songs. Following up on a tip, I e-mailed Jonathan L to have a listen. He
requested a CD, gave me a shot and played it on his show.

The positive response was overwelming. I love what I do again, I love music
and I love helping other musicians. It was a priceless gesture that opened
many doors, too many to mention. For this I will be forever grateful.

Thank You Jonathan L
Micky__Aldo Rox.

JONATHAN: Well (blushing), Micky I thank you for the above. I am trying to
be humble when I say...your music was an instant hit with me. I almost did
not run this, but then I thought about all the other musicians that might read
your post and understand that getting the attention of someone like me has to
be natural and not forced. You would not believe some of the outlandish, once
in awhile rude, and many times arrogant e-mails I recieve. I am only one set
of ears, but in your case...I think you are a creative soul with passion about
writing your songs and then conveying them to recording in a masterful way.

PimpZtress Rah DJ Fairfax Virginia
www.myspace.com/thepimpstress

PIMPZTRESS SAYS: OOOooo having my first child changed
me in so many incredible ways -- almost everyone of them
good!

I was not a nice person before he came along...selfish, using,
no patience...he taught me that I could love, that I had some-
thing to give, that there were things worth living and even
dieing for.

Yup. My first child. I wouldn't change motherhood for anything
in the world!

Peace! -RaH

JONATHAN: A child will always change life.

Rosie (aka GlamTrashkitten) New York
www.myspace.com/glamtrashkitten

ROSIE SAYS: The decision I made recently is actually taking a
chance with a guy I was meant to be kept away from by a jealous
Ex-Boyfriend.

Oddly me and this fellow fit each other perfectly and I could not
love him more. He's helped me in many ways and done things for
me to make things better in my life that no one else has bothered
to do and he continues to want to do so.

I'll be living with him soon. This was a choice I took a chance on
and six months later it's beyond LOVE and words.

I could not be anymore happier or maybe I can be? He always seems
to make me want him more everyday, just when I think it's impossible
to go any further it does. I'm in love!

~Rosie

JONATHAN: That's awesome Rosie. It's good to hear a happy story.

Laura Lynn (aka Just A Girl In TN) Murfreesboro Tennessee

to finally walk out on a cheating/abusive husband.

That changed my life, for the better except that I am very lonely.

know how you are, but (non-sexist remark), judging by your
looks, you won't be for very long. ;-)

Serge Gainsbourg, called "Lemon Incest", which featured on Serge's 1984

Q of THE WEEK: Tongue Piercing, comes to an end.

Today is the guys point of view.

Mullet Mike Phoenix Arizona
www.myspace.com/themulletmike

MIKE SAYS: I don't have my tongue pierced although I thought
about it for awhile.

For about a year, everything I did involving my tongue I asked
myself how it would be affected if my tongue was pierced.

The final conclusion is that there are way too many things I like to
do with my tongue and any objects pierced thru it would probably
get in the way or provide an obstacle I'd rather not deal with during
certain activities!

Elias Hollywood California
www.myspace.com/doyouneedadrummer

ELIAS SAYS: People get there tongue pierced because
they are VERY bored!!!! :)

Chuck Phoenix Arizona
(from myspace.com-no forwarding URL)

CHUCK SAYS: Reffering 2 Q of the week, I just don't understand
the piercing thing (but didn't understand the ear thing when I waz
young).

Now hairline's goin' closer 2 neck but, hey I still have same holes.
hmm

Joe Tempe Arizona
(from myspace.com-no forwarding URL)

JOE SAYS: I don't have a tounge piercing and the reason why,
other than the fact that they are dayglow, I would mess with
it constantly.

It just would not feel right.

Rick Phoenix Arizona
www.myspace.com/lostinphoenix

RICK SAYS: Well, I had my tounge pierced, for sexual reasons mostly.
When I enlisted, I had to remove it and it closed :(.

I haven't had it repierced, and most likely will not, due to the fact that
I have become quite the pro with my tounge sans tounge ring. So ladies
in the valley, if you want to find out what it should feel like, hit me up
at myspace.

JONATHAN: A suggestion Rick. With a line like that at the end, you
might want to consider putting up a better photo so they can really see
what you look like. You can put up to 12 photo's. You have only one.
The one above. Question? Do you really think any woman that reads
that will contact you? If someone does...I'd like to know.

Q of THE WEEK: (see Monday)

Paula Cardiff United Kingdom
www.myspace.com/ktcatvstyger

PAULA SAYS: Hi Jonathan. No, I haven't had my tongue pierced
and I won't be having it done either. Why you asked:

a. It can look like you have something wierd stuck on your tongue.
b. I am not into pain and it looks painful to have done and ew, what
if my tongue swells up afterwards.
c. Finally, what if I get it caught somewhere sensitive while licking
a partner unless he is into pain. ha ha ha.

That's enough reason for one question don't you think?

Tiny DJ Radio Personality Virginia

TINY SAYS: If there really are sexual benefits, I would guess
it's only for boys getting fellatio, and thus, I don't give a damn.
Sorry boys.

I will stick to nose and ears, thanks.

Shawn Rock Radio Personality Manhattan Kansas
www.myspace.com/cherrybombd71

SHAWN SAYS: Tongue piercing, where do I start?

I never considered it for myself....for many reasons...but one being
that I always thought it looked...well...stupid.

I had a friend who got his tongue pierced....ok...he was my ex-husband
...and I couldn't stand it. He was always clicking it against his teeth, and
when he first had it pierced he had the worst speech impediment ever.

Did I mention he was 35 years old at the time? This only increased my
desire to permanantly eliminate him out of my life.

Maybe it was just the dissolving of the relationship or maybe it was the
tongue piercing....either way....there was nothing exciting sexually about
that big barbell protruding out of his slab of useless muscle in that mouth
of his.

Well, nothing against anyone out there who is actually 'cool' and has their
tongue pierced. I mean, to each his own. I just know that this is the year
2006 and I believe the tongue piercing fad has finally been...well...in the
famous words of Brian Johnson, "SHOT DOWN IN FLAMES".

Shawn Rock...over and out.

Q of THE WEEK: Tongue Piercing rocks on

Marie (aka ~`Reezie`~) Atlanta Georgia
www.myspace.com/reezzie

MARIE SAYS: Hi Jonathan. Tongue piercing has been the main
topic in our house this past month. My daughter had her tongue
pierced 4 years ago and if she did experience any pleasure with
it, that is history because she is paying a Dental surgeon over
$1000.00 dollars for skin grafts.

The tongue ring over the past four years slowly ate away her
bottom gums of her lower teeth and she has over twenty stitches
in her mouth right now.

So needless to say she regrets having it pierced now and she is
planning to get a tattoo to make up for the loss! Personaly I am
very pleased with just having my belly button pierced and though
I have heard the tongue ring is stimulating, I have had no problems
experiencing stimulation without one!

Lots of hugs, Marie

JONATHAN: Wow Marie, that could be a wake-up call for some in the future.
As a matter of fact, all the answers today are very against tongue piercing,
except one. Quite interesting.

NICOLE SAYS: That is the one part of my body I would NEVER
have pierced.

Well that and my wrists!

The main reason I wouldn't would be that it would irritate the hell
out of me, like having something stuck in your teeth!

Well, I can't comment too much cos I haven't experienced it.

SANDIE SAYS: Getting my tongue pierced? Whooooooo nooo!

It's bad enough going to a dentist and having to sit with my mouth
open and the fact I couldn't bare the thought of getting a needle
through me tongue.

Think i'll stick to tattoos. lol

CARRIE SAYS: I don't have one, as I think they look absolutely
retarded.

The only piercing I would ever consider would be the eye brow,
as it's mildly cute. But being a diabetic, no way in hell would I
get any piercing.

Also with a tongue piercing, wouldn't it raise the risk of disease
transfer through oral sex? I mean it's a hole!

Yuck!

JEANNIE SAYS: (*grinning from ear to ear*)

Good question. Here's your answer.

Oh Yes! Twice at the same time. (*smirk*)

Why? Fascination/sexual/fade? I don't think so. Because I can
and have.

I am the one of all the siblings who has the most piercings.

Q of THE WEEK: Tongue piercing continues

Keren Gloucestershire United Kingdom
www.myspace.com/kezisyours

KEREN SAYS: lol- Were you struggling with a question this week??

I have my tongue pierced. In fact I have 14 piercings! I've had my
tongue pierced for bout 3yrs now I think...and I just went and had it
done cos I felt like it.

I just made up my mind, and went and had it done. I had 3 in each ear
and wanted sumat else.

I think with me it's the pain as well, as I have a few tattoos. Perhaps I
need to get checked out!!

But it is good for men apparently...hehehe...and I have a boyfriend with
a pierced tongue and his is very good too! They are great for kissing with
too. And fun to play with when ur bored!!

Makes me laugh all the people that don't have one
saying that it makes you talk funny and gets in the way.

I don't talk differently. Hasn't affected that. Nor the eating. lol

PS: Last weeks Q: Thought of another film that would be good to
remake, cos even in it's day it looked false. The Day Of The Triffids!!!!!

Now that would be awesome as a remake.

JONATHAN: That might be interesting. Wasn't a big fan of the original Keren.
As far as the Q, nope...not struggling, just thought it was a good Q. ;-)

Loretta San Diego California

LORETTA SAYS: I wanted a piercing that wasn't as visible as my
nose and tragus.

It's fun to just open my mouth quickly and fascinate little kids
(I like to tell them I said a bad word so I had to put this in my tongue).

I took out the tongue ring and let it close years ago. In March, I re-pierced it.
It hurt like hell because of the scar tissue.

It does enhance the sexual experience, but that's just an added bonus. I got
it done for looks.

The things that suck are not being able to suck the food out of my teeth or
blow bubbles while chewing gum, and I hate kissing with it in.

Thanks Jonathan!! xoxoxoxo

JONATHAN: Loretta, that's interesting about the "kissing with it in".

I knew I had it.

Q of THE WEEK continues: “Stick Out Your Tongue”

What is the facination with getting your Tongue pierced?

If you have, what is it? Sexual, just looks? Please explain.

If you don’t have one, why not? If you are thinking of doing it, why?

CYNDI SAYS: Ahhhh Jonathan, SweeeT man. You always get
people thinkin'.

No, not a tongue peircing for me. But I'll have to say it must definitely
be a sexual thing for most. But I would never get one. Not saying it's bad,
besides talking funny for a while, kinda 'ewe' for me.

I like to 'tune in' on people's voices. Besides, my tongue does not need
any help, male or female ...I don't miss a drop :0

Maybe I'll even use an ice cube ;)

JONATHAN: That's one special tongue Cyn. ;-)
