After starting things off with discussing the savagery of Gen-Alphas and credit scores, Bethanne Tarpley and Leah Jones, co-hosts of the She Will Rock You podcast, decided to side-step the financial advice talk to discuss what basically everybody is already talking about these days thanks to Stranger Things Season 4 — Kate Bush.
LISTEN NOW: Episode 71: Running Up That Hill (Kate Bush)
We get it, you watched Stranger Things and now you're listening to that one song on repeat. But, do you know just how innovative and creative Kate Bush really is? Odds are the answer is no, but good thing Leah and Bethanne are here to tell you everything you need to know about her career — from being born into a very artist family in 1958, and being hand picked by Pink Floyd's David Gilmour in the 70s, to going viral in 2022.
Thanks to some pleasantly surprising research results, Leah assures from the start, that despite preconceived notions she had, Kate, “is one of the most genius people I think we’ve ever covered on this podcast, but also one of the most under appreciated. Because as typical of British artists, she never made it big in America.”
To “set the mood” and further entice those listening, Leah dropped the following fact, “When Elton John had his civil partnership ceremony, he invited 600 people… There were famous people from all walks of life, all professions. And the one person in the room that he wanted to meet more than anyone was Kate Bush.”
Totally hooked right? Thought so. Press play on the episode above for the in-depth story of the radical Kate Bush.
