-On MuchMusic's number 1's special this weekend, "Swallowed" had spent two
weeks and number one.  There was also an interview clip with Gavin from
July 10, 1997.
-I was watching Fashion Television today on E!, and they were airing the
runway show from Tommy Hilfiger's collection for Spring 2000. As we know,
BUSH performed at the same runway show back in September of 1999. Video
Fashion Weekly aired the runway show, an interview with Gavin, and part of
the performance for "Machinehead." Well, Fashion Television aired the same
runway show...except they didn't even mention BUSH! You could see BUSH
playing in the very background, but none of the songs were even heard being
played, nobody mentioned BUSH, no close-ups of the band, nothing. They were
just talking about how Tommy Hilfiger likes rockstars and have them play at
his shows (yet no mention of BUSH!).

-More on the Austria incident from All Star Daily News: Gavin Rossdale
The recent public outrage over Austria's latest political faction to gain
power, the ultra-right People's Party headed by Joerg Haider, has stretched
in to the music business as well. Bush's Gavin Rossdale, who is
half-Russian-Jewish on his father's side, incorporated a Jewish prayer into
the band's song "Prizefighter" over the weekend at shows in Graz, Austria
and Vienna, Austria. Rossdale sang a line of the Hammotzi -- a traditional
blessing of bread -- to show his sympathy for Austrian protesters of Haider.
The Austrian political leader is said to have Nazi sympathies and
tendencies, and his recent appointment to a share of power in Austria has
sparked a worldwide outcry. (Kevin Raub)
*02.07.00*
-On Friday night during BUSH's show in Austria, Gavin sang a Jewish prayer
called Hammotzi.  Here's a portion of the article:
"I thought that the best way to put it last night — because I felt that it
was just glib and strange to not even mention it — was just to offer
condolences for people having to deal with that," Rossdale said in a phone
interview from Vienna, where the band has a show Saturday. Austria's new
government, sworn in on Friday, includes the far-right Freedom Party of
Joerg Haider, who has made statements denigrating immigrants and minimizing
Nazi war crimes. The Freedom Party's inclusion in the government has been
met with condemnation abroad and violent protests at home. Riots in Vienna
on Friday night left 56 people injured in the city's worst violence in 10
years. Rossdale, whose father's family were Jewish emigres from Russia in
the 1860s, said the crowd's reaction to his small gesture of defiance was
"really, really powerful, and really excited and passionate. "It's taken
them a long time to get over Austria's part within the SS and all that
stuff, and it's not a part of Austria that most people I've come across at
our shows are proud of. It's not the favorite part of their history.
There's a sense of serious malcontent."
*01.30.00*
-During a press voting in Europe, BUSH's The Science of Things was given
the number nine spot for Best Rock Album of 1999!
*01.26.00*
-VH-1 is working hard on Bush's "Behind the Music Special" which is rumored
to air in late February or March. Check back for updates on this must-see!
