That sounds like it should be on a t-shirt Madonna wears in a video circa 1986 ;) (ie, "Italians Do It Better" in Papa Don't Preach for the 'uninitiated').

"I noticed that she was different early on," reveals kooky Amos. "The paediatrician suggested that maybe it was just hereditary - I mean, my behaviour can hardly be classified as 'normal'... But I knew it was more than that." Amos became concerned when little 'Tash', as she calls her, began to show an unhealthy obsession with filth. "She would soil nearly everywhere we went," reveals Amos. "In fact, every time we went to a beach, she would openly pee on the sand and run up to us [Amos and husband Eric Rosse] and exclaim, 'Mommy, me gived sand a bath!!' Which is basically the only sentence she has ever constructed.... and I sing about in my never-to-be-released b-side [sic] called 'Seaside'. "The only other form of communication she has is making grunting and squealing sounds like a pig. We were concerned about it & so took her to see a speech pathologist, some geezer called Nathan... but that didn't really help. Speech therapy is crap and doesn't work anyway!" As as is typical for autism, Tash has a limited repertoire of unusual and obsessive interests. Amongst them, Amos reports, are "filth, uncleanliness, bodily functions, diapers" and a rather unusual, if not morbid, fascination with a gaydar personality going by the name of 'filthpigmelb'! "Husband [Eric], who thinks I'm a queer but I think *he* is a queer, was looking up the gaydar site when he came across a profile he liked; that of filthpigmelb. Anyway, Eric printed out his picture, and one day accidentally left it lying around where Tash saw it. Now you can't take the blooping thing off her without her screaming endlessly at about 100 decibels.. So we gave up & made her a little mobile out of it. She has since also developed a liking for another gaydar guy, 'garbageboi'.... and she won't ever get to sleep 'less she's cuddled up with her teddybehr." "We tried potty-training Tash but it just didn't happen. Or she would use it and then tip the contents onto the floor." Amos also revealed that daughter Tash was the inspiration behind her covering the Stranglers' "Strange Little Girl" on her 2001 covers 'album' (for want of a better term). "Strange Little Girl helped me get some of this off my chest. I mean my daughter *is* literally a strange little girl... and it's also by the Stranglers... which is what I've felt like doing to Tash at times." "I suppose some of the liking for filth runs in the family," continues Amos. "I mean, my legs were splattered with something that can only be described as filth on the cover of Boys For Pele... and then I suppose I had a thing for pigs at the time too. Maybe I really am to blame." Amos is currently on tour in the US promoting her latest album, "Scarlet's Walk". It is understood at this time that the tour is not to include Australia. - ------ Nathan. ===== "I want to be a lawyer I want to be a scholar But I really can't be bothered" - - 'Sat In Your Lap', Kate Bush. ___________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
