50 Visions Of Kate Bush

A few months ago, I read a book called 50 Visions Of Kate Bush. This is a book about Kate bush, obviously like no shit, but you can get an insight from those who knew her. This book was written by a guy called Tom Doyle. If I remember correctly, he met her face to face, I think he went to her house and interviewed her and just had a lovely chat. It’s really decent because it’s written by someone who has met her and they’re not just making up fake stories about that famous person, so that’s good.

I really loved this book, it was such a good read. I ate this book up within like two weeks, I really really loved it. I just love Kate Bush, I’ve got so much respect for her and even more now since I read the book. I found her story so interesting, she’s just so amazing, she doesn’t get enough appreciation, she’s awesome . She’s just so gracious and she’s got class.

She’s a real artist, she’s not this fame, popularity hungry mad woman, she’s a real artist. I respect her a lot for remaining anonymous, she made a decision to stay out of the media and I respect her for that. Fame can really effect people, fame can take a massive toll on you, no matter who you are, fame can eat you up, especially the indestury, it can chew you up and spit you out. I think it’s great that she chose to live a normal life in the midst of all this music success, she has my respect . I find all that really interesting, she hated the idea of fame, she just wanted to make her music and be with her son and lead a life of privacy which is really the best you can do.

This book also dives into her upbringing and where she grew up, it also talks about her influences and where all this music stuff started. It all started at such a young age. It’s really cool to see that she had this amazing talent at a young age. I find it really inspiring because I’m very similar to her in a way. Like, I’m creative, I’m artistic, I hated going to school, I didn’t follow the herd, I always did my own thing. Reading that chapter in the book seemed too familiar to me, I was going through the exact same thing. We were both creative, we hated school, we both felt like a fish out of the water, we all felt like we didn’t belong .

 

So yeah, I look at it as a blessing because I realised that it’s not a bad thing after all, it’s actually better if you do stand out. When you go to school, they turn you into clones of all the other students, they don’t like that you’re unique, they hate that, so I think you should just be yourself, go your own way. I think it’s really cool that me and Kate have so much in common.

Not only do I love her music but I also respect her as a person. She just seems so chilled and normal. I don’t like how the media portrays her as this goddess like it’s just ridicoulous. Underneath all those eccentric theatrics is a normal human being, even she got fed up with seeing those headlines, I don’t blame her.

The Man With The Child In His Eyes is one of my favourite songs, it’s so beautiful. Every time I listen to it, it just reminds of Alan Partridge, haha, that’s all I think of, what a piss take, haha, but yeah no I love it, love Alan Partridge, love Kate Bush.

But yeah no, I really loved this book. I got it for Christmas . I’m just discovering that I’m a bit of a book worm, I love reading . I have all these biographies. Most of them are film and music related, that just explains how much I love art, film and music. I also really love true crime, so I’m going to buy some true crime books, like Killing For Company, which is a book on Dennis Nilsen, that geezer is a bloody nut case but I’m really interested in his crimes so I’m going to buy the book. I also watched Des, the series on ITV where David Tennant played him, he did a great job, it really sent chills down my spine, it was amazing . But yeah so I’m thinking of buying true crime books but I mostly have books on film and music at the moment. I’m also reading a lot of Shakespeare at the moment so in the book world, I’m very occupied at the moment .

I really recommend this book. It’s so interesting. If you’re a big fan of Kate Bush, this is the book for you. You will gain more respect for her. I’m so glad she’s getting more recognition along with the Stranger Things Success, she deserves it. But yeah, thanks for reading my post.  I love Kate Bush, she’s an icon. I hope you all have a lovely day, love you guys.
