OK, I happen to know the origin of "Like Pretty Kate". WAY back in 1991 in Seattle I dated for about 6 months a girl named Katie. There is absolutely no doubt5 she was incredibly beautiful (Stunningly beautiful), in fact I would go so far as to say she as the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. We had a great relationship and she very well could be my wife today, the problem is I was promoted to a Sales Manager job at AT&T down in Portland. We tried to make it work for about four months but we saw less and less of each other, and we sort of mutually decided to call it quits. Anyway, while we were dating we were in my car and this song came on. She then casually mentioned when INXS came to town several years before, she and a girlfriend were invited backstage for a band party. They were working on this song and trying to figure out words that rhyme with "ates". One of the band member said "What about 'Like Pretty Kate'". They obviously liked the line as it ended up in the song. TRUST ME, Katie was not the type to lie about herself, and I might not even have known this little fact had it not both heard it on the radio. She just mentioned it off-the-cuff like it was no big deal. She never claimed any other brushes with music or movie starts. I would bet my life the story she told was the truth. I know her last name but in the interest of privacy I will not incude it. Anyway, THAT IS the origin of where the "pretty Kate" reference came from. It is absolutely the truth, I have no reason to lie. Katie; if you happen to read this you may want to fill in more of the blanks as I am going just on what Katie told me two years after it occured.
