How did the Beatles do it? How did those four English chaps have the right interpersonal chemistry to revolutionize the music industry with mellifluous harmonies, transcendent experiments, and catchy pop melodies all at the same time? And how did they do it all in such a short period of time?

Maybe … they didn’t.

Maybe their songs were actually created through institutionalized ESP experimentation in the late 1950s, and the field recordings were only recently recovered by acclaimed UK music journalist Solomon Davies, and made available now for the very first time.

Stranger Things, season 4. Am I right?

Hmmm. OK.

Here’s the thing.

What took you all soooooooooooooooo long to “discover” Kate Bush?

Were her duets with Peter Gabriel too obscure? (They’re not). Was her impact on other artists in many genres too hard to puzzle out? (No! The artists were very explicit.)

Did not enough people hear me play Kate Bush on my high school radio station show in the late 80’s and early 90’s, a show I co-hosted with my best friend Ray whose now-wife then-girlfriend was almost a bigger Kate Bush fan than me?

Probably. I mean, it was a low wattage FM station in northern central Connecticut.

And yet … you people … it is about time!
