Kate Bush: Doesn't Tour, Hates Attention, Likes Home
Will Hermes, The New York Times, 30 October 2005
POP MUSIC has seen a lot of '80s musicians angling for a second act lately — the Pixies, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, among others. Partly this represents a natural cycle: artists rise, peak, burn out, fade away, until the need returns for money and/or limelight, when back they strut. But the phenomenon has been fueled lately by a revival of 80's styles. With so many new bands sounding like Gang of Four or Talking Heads, for example, it's understandable that the originals would regroup to claim what's theirs (as the former did), or at least release a fancy box set (as the latter did).
