I think of Kashka as a man, but there's always room for more than one possibility in Kate's songs. I could see both working... another man as in a man other than the one she is societally expected to be with. This is one of my favorite songs from Lionheart - it's a wonderful description, IMO, of how sad it can be when society will not accept the natural expressions of who people are, and yet also the hope and courage to disregard that and find happiness anyway. And Adena, I'm so sorry about the way this song is for you and your friend... I truly hope both of you are able in the end to have your happiness.

We'll be able to be like Kashka in time, I am sure. And yes, it is a great description of how one can flaunt rules and be happy.

"A long time ago I too wondered whether or not "Kashka from Baghdad" is about two male lovers or a more traditional affair. I thought that the name "Kashka" is a female name, so my predilection was in favor of a heterosexual affair. I don't know why I thought the name Kashka is a female name -- it just sounded female to me. In any case, I went to the library and searched high and low for any reference to the name Kashka in any book and could not find a single one. Later, I asked John Carder Bush in person whether Kashka is male or female, and he said that Kashka is male. There you have it. From the horse's brother's mouth itself."gaffa.org/dreaming/l.html#kashkaIn Russia, Kashka is a girl name; though kashka also means porridge: "The accompanying kashka (buckwheat groats) has a funny dry cleaner-like smell -- and tastes stale to boot."
The Polish Kashka - spelt Kaœka - translates to Kate in English. Katherine = Katarzyna; Kate = Kaœka (phonetic Kashka).
The origin of the name "Baghdad": Some say it comes from an Aramaic phrase that means "sheep enclosure" (not very poetic...). Others contend that the word comes from ancient Persian: "bagh" meaning God, and "dad" meaning gift. "The gift of God...." So, "Kashka from Baghdad" could be poetspeak for... Kate, The gift of God... She catches them calling a la lune...[/b] In March 1977 KaTe wrote Wuthering Heights à la Lune...
KB: "I wrote in my flat, sitting at the upright piano one night in March at about midnight. There was a full moon and the curtains were open, and every time I looked up for ideas, I looked at the moon..."Let me in-a-your window...Let me in your love... gaffa.org/phoenix/index.html

Thank you for all the information on the name 'Kashka', Tannis. How interesting that it can be related to Kate!

Yes, KaTe seems to enjoy spelling puns... Heathcliff, it's me - Cathy...
Kashka from Baghdad: Kate, The gift of God... Babooshka: BaBUSHka... The Dreaming: And push them from the Pull of THE BUSH......and those hidden serial KT signature cover symbols... "'Cause when all the alley-cats come out You can hear music from Kashka's house..."Friday KT: "After, I have to go down to Abbey Road studios to re-mix the new single. We get there at about eight-fifteen [p.m.]. About this time I have my first bite to eat of the day--a toasted sandwich and chips. And of course, lots of cups of tea. The only way I can tell if I need food is when I feel sick. I smoke more at night, but I still usually get through less than twenty a day. John Player Special at the moment. We're still at it at three a.m. and I feel fine, but the engineer wants to call it a day. He's a great engineer, and I know he can finish it tonight, so I talk him into it. Come seven a.m. I'm not exactly perky, but I'm still not at all tired. I'm very much a nocturnal creature. My driver picks me up and I get to bed about seven-thirty a.m."
Saturday KT: "I'm not a bad cook. I love making bread. It's such a wonderful thing to do. So I watch the telly--the late-night movie: guys having their eyes pulled out, or something really awful. Paddy has come back by now, so we have a long chat and I get to bed about three o'clock."

They know The way To be Happy...George Ivanovich Gurdjieff was an Armenian-Greek mystic, a teacher of sacred dances, and a spiritual teacher. He is most notable for introducing what some refer to as "The Work," connoting work on oneself according to Gurdjieff's principles and instructions, or as he first referred to it, the Fourth Way.I must work on my mind. For now I realise Everyone of us has a heaven inside...The Ways
Gurdjieff claimed that there were only three ordinary ways for real spiritual development. Gurdjieff referred to his methods as the "Fourth Way."
The first three ways are: The way of the fakir: The fakir struggles with the physical body and self-mastery through difficult physical exercises and postures. The way of the monk: The way of the monk (or nun) represents the way of faith, the cultivation of emotional feelings. The way of the yogi: The yogi's approach is through knowledge and the mind.
They open doorways that I thought were shut for good They read me Gurdjieff...
The Fourth Way Gurdjieff said that his Fourth Way was a quicker means than the first three ways because it simultaneously combined work on all three centers rather than focusing on one as is done in the first three ways, and that it could be followed by ordinary people in everyday life, requiring no retirement into the desert. (wiki)Q: In Them Heavy People you mention Gurdjieff. Do you follow his teachings? KB: "I've read some of his work, and recently saw the film Meetings With Remarkable Men, and had tea with Peter Brook, the director, afterwards. Pa and my brother John are into him seriously, and I'm hoping to persuade John to write an article about him for a future Newsletter." gaffa.org/garden/kate3.html----- They know The way To be Happy...To be or not to be... Being or nothingness... Shakespeare to Sartre, via the Fourth Way...Gurdjieff's central teaching was 'self-remembering'-- the theory that to attain spiritual growth you had to learn to notice when your thoughts were wandering blindly. In "In Search of the Miraculous" (the most popular introduction to G's thought), Ouspensky always refers to Gurjieff as "G."gaffa.org/dreaming/E2_gurd.htmlOn a lot of English first pressings of vinyl records you can find an inscription in the run-out area of the disc. On The Kick Inside, Side A has the run-out message: Rember yourself. This phrase is used in "Fullhouse" (which appears on Lionheart). The run-out message suggests that Kate was mindful of Gurdjieff before FH was written. And FH shows just how hard Gurdjieff's Way can be! ... Kate on GurdjieffLater she would make a similar response when describing Gurdjieff as "the only religion I've been able to relate to" and then quickly ending her sketchy account with, "I don't really want to say much because I don't really have the knowledge to say it." "Kate Bush Gets Her Kicks" (1978)gaffa.org/reaching/i78_tp.htmlA couple of times you've mentioned in your songs a person called Gurdjieff... I wonder if you could explain... how he influences you in... well when you make your music? KB: "Well, Gurdjieff was really an influence in that I'd just read some of his books and really no more than that. And I'd just found a lot of what he said interesting, but that's really as far as it goes." Maybe we should elaborate a little bit about who the gentleman is? KB: "Yes, well Gurdjieff was... he was considered a leader of a religious movement, I think. But as far as I know he just had a lot of ideas about creating a way that would make people stronger and more together. And it's just a different way of doing it. And it was also trying to go for a more western way of doing. But I do very little about it, so I really wouldn't like to say very much because it's a subject that I feel if I'm going to speak about than I should know what I'm talking about and I don't." Well the influence was minimal by the sound of it. KB: "Yes, yes it was, yes." Dreaming Debut (1982)gaffa.org/reaching/ir82_r2.html

I found many pieces of his work to be enlightening - especially regarding societal behavior. e.g. - Group pride and unyielding surety (paraphrasing), he says, are at the root of much of the world's strife. His thoughts can become part of a hybrid for your own philosophy. After all "The unexamined life is not worth living" (Socrates) The truly genius among us - and there are more of us than you think - are so chiefly because they accept their imbuing and innate gifts with the knowledge that they are ultimately ignorant in the larger scheme. It is by sharing that we go forward. So many great thinkers before us had profound insight. From the monists and pluralists whom found bits of truth for their disciples and detractors to build on or tear down - up to the present theoretical physicists; none of us have found all the answers. However, our innate motion of potentiality may be shrinking the divide between science and spirituality. Aristotle was adept at taking two separate truths and combining them to arrive at a third - and more complete truth. The chasm between science and religion and all that that encompasses may be subject to this kind of syllogism. We all see truth in different ways. It is safe to say that we are all unique and 'gifted' in myriad ways. Just as some may have inherent 'genius' in some area - that is nothing to have undue pride over. Pythagoras thought that he had all the answers. His idea that there was a mathematical formula that could ultimately explain all reality was certainly bold and brilliant - it was also vain and incomplete. His followers risked death in divulging his formulas as an example. Likewise each of us may have a skill that we did not learn nor do we have to practice. I accept my gifts. Wisdom comes from learning from those others among us with 'different gifts. We (members of this forum and guests) are all here because we acknowledge the genius of Kate Bush. She is just one path that connects us all to the road to 'potentializing' this reality that we both share and inhabit as individuals - yet all on different journeys.

I used to subscribe to the Gurdjieff newsletter. I found many pieces of his work to be enlightening. Especially regarding societal behavior.e.g. - Group pride and unyielding surety (para phasing), he says, are at the root of much of the world's strife. His thoughts can become part of a hybrid for your own philosophy. After all "The unexamined life is not worth living" (Socrates) The truly genius among us - and there are more of us than you think - are so chiefly because they accept their imbuing and innate gifts with the knowledge that they are ultimately ignorant in the larger scheme. It is by sharing that we go forward. You certainly have been reading philosophy. 'Wisest is she who knows she does not know...' I agree. True knowledge accepts the boundaries of individual human comprehension for what they are, IMO, even as it tries to stretch them. To deny the mysteries of life is very much an obstacle to deeper undrstanding. Yes... finding the most complete and universal truth requires that we embrace all of its manifold forms, rather than reject them on individual preference or narrow-mindedness. I'd like to think that it's possible for 'the chasm between science and religion' to be encompassed, and the opposites reconciled. Genius, I think, is not a rare and hard to come by title bestowed upon the select few, but rather a gift that can be had by all of us if we are open to inspiration. And you're right, it shouldn't be something boasted over and displayed - simply used, I think, to further understanding. And it's wonderful how the 'genius' of one person can open the door to creative expression and deeper thinking to so many people, isn't it?

Herbert Eugene Caen (April 3, 1916 – February 1, 1997) was a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist working in San Francisco. Caen gained fame with his column "It's News to Me," which was first published July 5, 1938. His columns were known for their dry wit and his intimate knowledge of the happenings in his city. Caen had a considerable influence on pop culture and its language; most notably, he coined the term "beatnik" in his April 2, 1958 column and popularized the word "hippie" during San Francisco's 1967 Summer of Love. He also playfully popularized many other (if more obscure) concepts and terms, such as Frisbeetarianism. To reflect the multiculturalism and exotic character of San Francisco he coined the term Baghdad by the Bay, and often referred to San Francisco that way. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herb_Caen
So, yes, maybe Kashka is from San Fran...

I watch their shadows, Tall and slim, In the window opposite. I long to be with them. for the past four years i have been writing, researching and theorising a PhD based on the work of kate bush at swansea university.
now at the end of that process, i am turning the lumpily titled thesis: Kate Bush: Invocations, Performances and Transformations of the Feminine Subject into a less lumpily titled book, adventures in kate bush and theory.
the adventure follows the multiple life forms of the bushian feminine subject as she moves through kate bush's work - we watch her embody feminine difference, fantasise about joining in with gay male group sex*, do bad male drag, become with machines, go into the underworld, die and be reborn again.
adventures in kate bush and theory is an exercise in popular theory making and encompasses feminist, queer, post-colonial and affect theory, analyses of film, fairy tale and myth as well as creating its own concepts such as reconstruction and critical witch theory.
watch this space for updates and offerings of the work!
debi withers: adventures in kate bush and theory www.debi-rah.net/page7.htm"Watching every night. Don't you know they're seen? Won't you let me laugh? Let me in your love..."* "fantasise about joining in with gay male group sex": It is true that Wow displays a certain fascination with gay male intimacy. But Withers' line probably refers to Kashka From Baghdad. However, if KFB is about two gay men, then maybe the protagonist wants to be their 'fag hag', thus removing herself from the pressures of heteronormality. [Heteronormality refers to the social structures which encourage (some would say 'force') people to identify as being straight, and discourage them from having an alternative sexual orientation or gender identity.]Then again, maybe Withers is right, and KaTe's protagonist/s is/are male...But we know the lady who rents the room. She catches them calling a la lune...So what is a fag hag? Firstly, it is important to note that there are many different definitions. The term fag-hag stretches from women who simply enjoy the company of gay men, to those who fall in love with gay men, and even those who try to “Convert” gay men into straight men. There are even situations in which Straight Women and Gay Men marry and live happy lives together. I will talk about each in the following sections. I found when researching this topic that little has been written about it in literature. I came across one WONDERFUL book; "Straight Women and Gay Men" by John Malone.
Malone relates the phenomenon of Fag Hags to the commonalities shared between women and gay men. When the Gay Rights Movement was taking flight, it was in the heat of the Women's Movement as well. Both groups were fighting for understanding, and therefore both groups still feel a connection through the movements and a connection through their struggles (Malone 4-5).
Fag-Hag friendships.
I performed several informal interviews with self-proclaimed Fag Hags, as well as several gay men. To keep anonymity the real names will not be used. In regards to her relationships with gay men, one women, we will call Maria, said that one of her gay male friends once called her a mother earth fag hag. She saw herself as a Gaea type figure with little gay men hanging off her body like jewelry. She felt more secure with gay men in her life because of the commonalities in interests that she shared with them as well as the "Safety Factor".
This factor is one I found recurring in interviews. There are varying degrees in which it demonstrates itself. Gay men are safe, firstly, because there is no sexual threat. If a woman spends time with a gay man, there is no threat of sexual tension, or aggression. They are "Safe" because each party knows that the relationship is just friendship. (This does not apply to "Converters" but we'll come back to that.)
Malone also interviewed women. One woman offered the explanation of her connection with gay men as this, "A straight man usually has a woman around, a wife or a girlfriend, and she has a lot to say about who the man's friends will be" (Malone 12). With gay men, partners feel little threat with female friends because, just as gay an are safe to women, women are safe to gay men.
Some men interviewed talked about the fact that when growing up and discovering that they were gay, girls tended to be more interested in art, theatre, films and books. It was the commonalities they shared that made girls more comfortable to them (Malone 45). From the men I interviewed, straight women were safe because they would not ridicule their life. Boys would be the ones calling them derogatory names, while girls would comfort them and spend time with them. Girl were less judgemental in their lives.
When I was growing up, my best friend (let's call him Marty) was gay. I was the first person he told. I knew long before he did. Both my parents and his parents thought we would get married. We spent every possible minute together. I was important because I knew, he made me feel important for the same reason. The relationship was strong because we both knew the trust involved. In cases where the person isn't out to the world, many straight women feel a sense of self-worth in the fact that they have been entrusted with such an important and sacred secret.

"Ut - cha ev-'ry night..." KT: Well, Kashka From Baghdad that actually came from a very strange American Detective series that I caught a couple of years ago, and there was a musical theme that they kept putting in. And they had an old house, in this particular thing, and it was just a very moody, pretty awful serious thing. And it just inspired the idea of this old house somewhere in Canada or America with two people in it that no-one knew anything about. And being a sorta small town, everybody wanted to know what everybody what else was up to. And these particular people in this house had a very private thing happening. "Personal Call", BBC Radio 1, 1979www.gaffaweb.org/reaching/ir79_pc.htmlKate says that KFB came from a "very strange", gothic American detective series, "a very moody, pretty awful serious thing". There is certainly something of the night about KFB, especially the creepy ending. Old friends never call there and some wonder if there's life inside at all. Given KaTe's love of distortions, Alfred Hitchcock and Michael Powell, is there also something of the Peeping Tom and Blacula about Kashka From Baghdad? And is KaTe flirting with danger? I long to be with them... Le Voyeur - Peeping Tom 1960 Michael Powellwww.youtube.com/watch?v=dDOimovnim8Blacula (1972) Widescreen Trailerwww.youtube.com/watch?v=vN2a5zGmBPI&feature=relatedThe sheet music in the Kate Bush Complete book (EMI Music Publishing) has the lyric to the last segment of KFB as: Ut - cha ev-'ry night Don't you know they're seen won't you let me laugh let me in your love won't you let me laugh... Ut-cha is similar to 'utchat', the eye of Ra or Eye of Horus (see above). Oh, I'm in love with Egypt... The utchat is an ancient Egyptian symbol. There is considerable disagreement about what it represents. Sometimes it is a left eye and sometimes a right eye, sometimes it is said to represent the sun and sometimes the moon, and sometimes an abstract symbol representing both. Some authorities state that the utchat represents the sun when it is a right eye and the moon when it is a left eye.www.ianslunarpages.org/wadjet.htmlWatch ya every night Don't you know they're seen won't you let me laugh let me in your love won't you let me laugh...'Cause when all the alley-cats come out, You can hear music from Kashka's house...alley cat noun 1 a sexually promiscuous person, especially a woman UK, 1926 "He goes on the prowl each night / Like an alley cat / Looking for some new delight / Like an alley cat / She can't trust him out of sight[.]" -- Jack Harlen, The Alley Cat Song 1963 2 a young person who idles on a street corner 3 a person who survives on begged or stolen pickings 4 A promiscuous woman; also, a person of loose morals. For example, She's constantly picking up men in bars--a real alley cat. This idiom transfers a stray cat that frequents alleys in search of food to a woman of easy virtue, especially a prostitute seeking customers [Slang; early 1900s]. Alley cat is slang for someone who prowls the streets at night looking for sexual partners.

Kashka from Baghdad Lives in sin, they say, With another man, But no one knows who...Is Kashka a woman 'living in sin' with a man who is not her husband? Like Lady Chatterley and her lover? Maybe he's an artist... A long time ago I too wondered whether or not "Kashka from Baghdad" is about two male lovers or a more traditional affair. I thought that the name "Kashka" is a female name, so my predilection was in favor of a heterosexual affair. I don't know why I thought the name Kashka is a female name -- it just sounded female to me. In any case, I went to the library and searched high and low for any reference to the name Kashka in any book and could not find a single one. Later, I asked John Carder Bush in person whether Kashka is male or female, and he said that Kashka is male. There you have it. From the horse's brother's mouth itself.gaffa.org/dreaming/l.html#kashkaIn Russia, Kashka is a girl name. The Polish Kashka translates to Kate in English. Baghdad translates as 'Gift Of God'. So, "Kashka from Baghdad" could be poetspeak for Kate, The gift of God.LIVING IN SIN: According to mainstream Christian belief, we are all living in sin every day because we always fall short of what God wants us to be and do, which is what sin is. Anything that separates us from God can be considered a sin, not just the Big 10. However, generally the idiom means: to live with and have sex with someone to whom one is not married; cohabit outside marriage, as in 'Bill and Anne lived in sin for years before they got married'. This term, dating from the early 1800s, is mostly used in a jocular fashion today, when customs and views are more liberal in this regard. Old friends never call there. Some wonder if life's Inside at all-- If there's life inside at all...During this period she moved from her parents' home to a flat in a house owned by her father in Lewisham ["But we know the lady who rents the room"]. "It was good for me to be independent," she says. "I didn't leave home because we were having home troubles. I did it because I wanted to maybe grow up a bit, to find out about the world - to be myself and not have the influence of my parents all the time. "In fact my father owning the flat is a great situation because both my brothers have flats below me and they are always there when I need them." Evening News, "Sexy Kate Sings Like An Angel", Feb. 18, 1978 gaffaweb.org/reaching/i78_en.html
School bored her and though she had some good friends she preferred to lock herself away in her room. Sunday Telegraph, "The Explosive Kate Bush", July 6, 1980 www.gaffaweb.org/reaching/i80_st2.htmlBut we know the lady who rents the room. She catches them calling a la lune...In March 1977 KB wrote "Wuthering Heights" à la Lune. Indeed, KB often composed late into the night, and at least once earned a letter of complaint from a neighbor...Kate: "I'd practice scales and that on the piano, go off dancing, and then in the evening I'd come back and play the piano all night. And I actually remember, well, the summer of '76 which was really hot here. We had such hot weather, I had all the windows open. And I just used to write until you know four in the morning, and I got a letter of complaint from a neighbor who was basically saying "Shuuut Uuuup!" cause they had to get up at like five in the morning. They did shift work and my voice had been carried the whole length of the street I think, so they weren't too appreciative." "I was dancing every day, and singing and writing all night." "...and I'd open all the windows and wail away all night." PHOENIX: The Early Kate Bush www.gaffaweb.org/phoenix/index.htmlAt night They're seen Laughing, Loving. They know The way To be Happy...Gurdjieff claimed that there were only three ordinary ways for real spiritual development. Gurdjieff referred to his methods as the "Fourth Way."
So, maybe Kashka is a woman living with a man who is not her husband. Like KaTe says, "these particular people in this house had a very private thing happening" ("Personal Call", BBC Radio 1, 1979). And maybe he's an artist... Finally, home means being with her boyfriend, about whom she is understandably secretive. KB: "It's hard because my life is so unpredictable. He's an artist, by the way, but not in the music business.<This is a rare instance where Kate has made an outright lie to the press.> It's the one area of my life that I really do consider private. And I can't keep it private unless I keep it close." Company, "The Discreet Charm of Kate Bush", January 1982 www.gaffaweb.org/reaching/i82_co.html
