The New York Times had a fluffy article recently about girl crushes, where straight girls "fall in love" with a girlfriend's sense of style or joie de vivre. Then, I googled Kate Bush for some reason. She only comes out with an album every five years or so, and she's overdue for one to be released in 2005. I found this quotation from the November issue of Q magazine where Bjork talks about her girl crush on Kate Bush.

"I remember being underneath my duvet at the age of twelve, fantasising about Kate Bush, but I don't want to make a big thing out of it. I would love it and hate it to be compared to Kate Bush, because I'd be very honoured to be compared to such a genius, but at the same time, It's important to me that I have my own individuality and my own voice"

Kate and I always are inspired by the cat sculpture when we go on Central Park runs, but we've never known the background information about it. We always compare it to our cat, Zoe, watching over us, and from snippets I've gleaned from other people's conversations (i.e. eavesdropping) I know that other cat owners do the same. Here's the story behind the cat sculpture. I especially like this part: "[...]which continues to inspire awe in weary and unsuspecting joggers as they arrive at the crest of Cedar Hill." Awesome.
