I DUNNO. . . Hello Flying Nuns, K, on the Houston Chronicle Lifestyle section in the television listings, it says that Tori will be on Leno today, June 30th. But it's supposed to be a rerun.

Few months ago I started a project in Internet which I call "Tori Amos-Russian Pages". As I said recently , Tori is very popular in Russian and has a lot of Toriphiles here too. So I founded a page about her, it's in Russian language, but though I ask you to visit it and tell me your opinion, it's very important for me. I have there Music, Links, PhotoGallery, Interviews, Discography etc. Also I would be grateful if someone could send me Tori's news, I will put them in my "TARP". www.chat.ru/~leila -- Tori Amos Russian Pages.

My name is Olga and i live in Russia , Moscow. You can be sure, Tori has here a lot of Toriphiles too! ok... Congratulate me !!! Today I record her video-clip "Spark" ! Wow ! It's almost perfect , don't you think that this song is about her miscarriage and this clip tells how it's happened . I thought about it when I saw a blob of blood which falled from her finger at the end of the clip , may be it symbolize her miscarriage , and her escape and struggle for life are symbolize how she tried to "keep her baby alive " ? Tell me what do you think ?

It definetely has the sound and insight of the end of a relationship. Don't know if this has come up on precious of late, but a capsule review of _Choirgirl_ is in the new issue of SPIN -- the one with Dave Matthews on the cover. In the column "Heavy Rotation": Tori Amos, _From the Choirgirl Hotel_ WHAT YOU'RE MISSING: Amos scolding God, rejecting communion for masturbation, and calling Lucifer "Father". CONCLUSION: More than any singer/songwriter of her generation, Tori carries on rock's creation myth, that part of the genre born of Pentecostal passion and slave sadness. I'm glad SPIN likes and supports her music, but it would be nice if they were paying attention to what's actually on _Choirgirl_ -- these are elements from UtP and BfP, not _Choirgirl_. As I flip through the pages, I also see that Charles Aaron gave "Spark" a nice review in his Singles column, and he seems to have gotten the facts right, but there aren't enough hours in a day for me to transcribe that. Maybe I'll do it later, or maybe you can go buy the magazine for yourself. :) Hey, there's an interview with Hal Hartley in there, so you can learn about a life-changing filmmaker while you read about Tori... - --C. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Jun 1998 00:46:11 From: *esmerelda98 Subject: Revamped! hi everyone!

There's been some talk lately about Northern Lad being about Eric Rosse (I think that's how you spell it!) and I was just wondering what did those two go through? Did they have some huge fight? Were they together in a relationship? What's happened with her other relationships? Why would she write about him? CAN ANYONE HELP?! I've been a little behind in this topic of Tori..... Thanks. >> <> I didn't write the first post but I felt I should respond to what was written about it. Tori has been very open about certain subjects in her life such as the rape AND Eric!!! If she didn't want it public knowledge then she never would've said anything or put anything about it on her albums. Tori is famous for having close personal relationships with her fans and through her music we grow closer to her. It's only natural for her fans to care about her and want to know the whole story. Tori has made this issue public and there for it is open for discussion. So whoever wrote the first post has every right to inquire about what to most of us is old news. So to all of you who don't like the fact that some of us like to discuss Tori's life outside her music, just simply delete it. There is no need for flames!

Does anyone else think Flying Dutchman would be an amazing song done with the band? I like the orchestral arrangement of it, but a band arrangement could just be really really neat. The stats show she hasn't done it yet... I hope they get into playing it at some point. - -abbe ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Jun 1998 23:03:41 +1000 From: "DirtyFishyDish" Subject: Re: Tori & Relationships Lissa wrote: > Well, according to the video cameras I have installed in her house, Tori >has spoken to exactly 248 men, kissed 21 men and 3 women, and been with 4 >and a half men.

I'm sorry, it's just that I've heard that BfP has a lot to do with her split with Eric Rosse, and I'm just trying to find out what happened, so I understand the album better, I'm not being nosy, I respect her privacy if she hasn't told anyone, but if she's publicised it and I missed it, I just want to be caught up.
