i once read that the brontes grew up in a parsonage located at the bottom of the hill where the cemetary was locatedand that this could have "encouraged" their "eccentricity"
i don't know whether kate bush grew up downstream of a graveyard, but she certainly captured the feeling of being out on the wiley windy moors
wuthering heights, red dress
wuthering heights, spooky white dress
kate bush certainly was a good ad for the brontes. i'm not sure, but i think my sister read wuthering heights on the back of seeing the kooky video and listening to the kooky (atmospheric) song.her paperback copy had a wonderfully bleak and moody cover
i think it also inspired my sister with a longing for similar moors and dales and wind, and definitely romantic sweeping dresses and capes.
she talked about walking the pennines for a while. the pennine way does sound exciting in a bronte context (certainly less wholesome than james herriott)
for spectacular, weird, beautiful and bleak, iceland is up there,
top gear test the audi TT in the sublime and bizarre icelandic environment
iceland's weirdly mesmerising björk
the inexplicable michael jackson, here with his sister janet (the $7million video, more expensive than steve austin)
