Billie Myers ‘Growing Pains’ CD, Cassette Featuring the song ‘Kiss the Rain’. While working out one day, Desmond Child heard Bush on the radio, singing a line about “kiss the rain.” “No, no,” Jon Bon Jovi, exercising nearby, corrected him, “they’re singing ‘Glycerine.'” Desmond liked his lyric better, and along with Billie Myers and Eric Bazilian composed this song.

Boy George & Spencer Bright ‘Take it Like a Man’ Book This is an autobiography written by & about Boy George. He mentions Gavin (very briefly) in his book. Summary: Boy is having a conversation with this female who claims that she is dating Gavin at the time (1984-85). Boy mentions that his good friend Marilyn (quite the gender bender) also ‘dated’ Gavin at some point. I kind of picked up that Marilyn’s idea of dating ranged from one nite stands to about a week long relationship. Page 341. |

David Bowie ‘Hunky Dory’ CD The phrase ‘Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow’ appears both in this Bowie’s song ‘Life on Mars’ (circa 1970) and in Bush’s song ‘Everything Zen’. Gavin has been quoted stating that he has used David Bowie as inspiration, but he has never mention any specific songs. In addition to this song I swore I heard another Bowie song that also had a lyric that was used in a Bush song. Discogs |

David Carson ‘2nd Sight’ Book This quote from that book. “I was standing in my kitchen in Del Mar, at the sink. talking on the phone and I was telling a guy from the band Future Primitive that it was a really bad name. Then later when I am designing the sleeve he tells me that we have to mention his dog somewhere on the sleeve… and the dog is called Bush. So I suggested: there’s your name.” There are a few other meanings to the word. “One of my bigger mistakes was later turning down directing the Bush video…” – I think this guy is full of shit.

Mariyln ’Hold on Tight’ CD-R limited edition 2003 Peter Robinson (aka Marilyn) dedicated the Marilyn CD “Hold on Tight” to Rossdale, citing “the years of our passionate relationship” and featuring a photo of them together on the cover. Later, both men spoke more candidly about their relationship, with Robinson confirming in 2009 that they had been “together five years” in the 1980s. while in 2010 Rossdale said the relationship with Robinson had been an experimentation and “part of growing up”. I personally remember a buzz on the internet of Marilyn not being legally allowed to release some cd because it had photos of Gavin. I believe this is the cd. And seeing how this is a CD-R, it means it was never officially pressed and there are probably very few copies in existence. Discogs |
