Hi.

Does anyone out there know about the importance of the town of 
Taos, New Mexico where Tori recorded "Under the Pink"?  
Does anyone know of any articles where Tori has talked about it?

Thanks..

everyone-
Someone told me that Tori was forced into the catholic church and that is
why some of her songs are kind of sac-religious. The person told me that
she doesn't really like the catholic church. Now these words are not from
me, so if they are wrong don't be mad, but is it true??

Hmmm...I would have to say...False. First of all, I believe Tori's
father was Methodist and I guess you could say she was "forced" in by
having her father be a minister, but that, again, is a Methodist
community, whether she liked it or not...Not Catholic. 
	In many articles Tori does confront her ideas concerning God because
many followers and listeners wonder what she has against God. She
insists she has nothing against God and that *she might have tea with
him Tuesday nights* (sorry, not verbatim, off the head). She doesn't
appreciate people shoving their religious beliefs down her throat.
	As for my opinion, I don't really think she is "God-bashing" in any of
her songs necessarily. I think she is more stating her opinions about
the divinity in which she believes.

In the Little Earthquakes video Tori says that she doesn't like the
organized church (or that she is against it-I don't remember). She doesn't
dislike God from what I gather. Um...that's all.
