About the interview:

Kate Bush spoke to us via Skype from our home outside London. When her manager dialed in, my heart skipped a beat. There on the other end was my female musical icon apologizing for being late.

We couldn't see her, but I didn't care. Her voice wafted through the big speakers. It felt like I was eavesdropping on the telephone.

Our engineer, Robin, asked if I wanted to say anything to Bush once the interview ended. I immediately said no, I was too nervous. But as the interview went on, I thought why not. She was friendly, approachable and clearly enjoying herself during the interview.

In the end she thanked us for asking "thoughtful, intelligent questions."

So, once the interview was over and I floated to the console. Either Robin or Marco introduced me to her, I don't remember exactly. And Kate Bush said my name. BUSH: "Are you April?" ME: "Yes" BUSH: "Hello April!!"

She said my name as if she knew of me.

I thanked her for taking the time to speak with us. I told her I was a big fan and thanked her for all the great music.
And that was it.

We said goodbye and the Skype line was dropped. The artist I most wanted to thank was gone, but the music that I'm thankful for will last forever.

@spraypsalm That is a very misleading thing to say that the word Eskimo is a derogatory racial title. The term Inuit does not cover all Eskimos.

"In Alaska, the term Eskimo is commonly used, because it includes both Yupik and Inupiat, while Inuit is not accepted as a collective term or even specifically used for Inupiat (who technically are Inuit). No universal term other than Eskimo, inclusive of all Inuit and Yupik people, exists for the Inuit and Yupik peoples.[6]"

Well how about

"LET THE WORLD FLAKE"?

Seriously people (& especially, PJ Harvey)...

that's real insensitive.
