As if I needed any more evidence for my career resurrection theory after Bowie's BRIT award, Kate Bush has just announced her first tour since 1979. An enigmatic figure, Kate Bush withdrew from making public statements and has produced very little new music for the last 35 years. Prior to that, one of her greatest hits and the song which brought her to worldwide prominence was based on Emily Bronte's classic novel, Wuthering Heights. John Foxx is making some of the most innovative electronic music ever as he approaches his mid-60s.
What's made me think about all this? There is the cliche about things ageing like fine wine but in music and literature,I'm not sure that's been true. Until quite recently. And I have absolutely no idea why this appears to be happening, apart from the idea of the Net and nothing being lost, which I've mentioned before.
I don't think my writing will suddenly burst into life in 10 years' time, so basically get it now. I've got a sneaky feeling that I'll be more widely read/appreciated after my death.
