Tori did Siren live 23 times on the Plugged tour.

I believe I paid about $8.99 for it - I bought it the week the vinyl was released (it was after the original release date). Is it fairly rare now?? Actually a better question ... is anything from the BFP era rare yet?? Because I have about 90% of the promo stuff from BFP and almost all of the released stuff.

Errrr, no, she didn't. The setlist for the sneak preview show in Ft. Lauderdale, on 18 April 1998, is: Black-Dove (January), Cruel, Tear in Your Hand, Liquid Diamonds, Precious Things, Jackie's Strength, Playboy Mommy, Upside Down, Cloud on My Tongue, Putting the Damage On, Spark, i i e e e, The Waitress, She's Your Cocaine, Horses, Winter, Northern Lad. The first time Tori did Siren was 11 August 1998, in Richmond, Virginia. /nad ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 10 Apr 1999 12:41:49 -0400 From: Nadyne Mielke Subject: Re: Muhammad At 08:38 AM 4/9/99 -0400, Pandoraie@aol.com wrote: >Hi, i'm kinda new, been lurking and things and i just thought... when she >says "And what about the deal, on the flying trapezee (sp?) got a peanut >butter hand. but, honey, do drop in at the Dew Drop Inn." is she referring to >the Dew Drop Inn mentioned in To Kill a Mockingbird ? just a thought The name "Dew Drop Inn" is one that appears over and over, both in literature and in real life. I can easily name five or six different little inns by that name. Tori has never said whether a specific Dew Drop Inn inspired her. IMHO, _To Kill a Mockingird_ doesn't fit in with the theme of that song. /nad ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 10 Apr 1999 15:45:24 -0400 From: cinders blue Subject: VH1 Save the Music Special toriadores, i was just searching the tv listings and came across this: Monday 4/19 8:00 PM Road to Fame: A VH1 "Save The Music" Special Boyz II Men, N'Sync, and Tori Amos are superstars now, but they all had to start somewhere. Through the words of the artists themselves, we'll hear about the importance of music in their lives and the musical paths they each took to achieve success. Plus, we visit their music teachers, parents, and the stages where they first performed. information about this show on the (awful) vh1 website is scanty. looks like a 30 minute special program to focus attention on vh1's "save the music" campaign which is geared towards improving the music programs in the united states' public schools. for more information, . in case you miss it on the 19th, the program will be repeated on friday, april 23th at 10:30am and sunday, april 25th at 9:00 am. woj ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 10 Apr 1999 14:14:58 EDT From: GonaTwinkl@aol.com Subject: Re: raspberry swirl In a message dated 99-04-10 00:47:41 EDT, you write: << the other day I was thinking about sexuality, and came to the conclusion that our sexuality depends on a great deal on the society we grow up in... >> I think I kinda agree and kinda disagree with you on this. I agree because I definitely feel that I have more freedom of expression in today's society (I'm gay), as compared with the times of maybe J. Edgar Hoover, or other assorted famous gay figures of the past. I think it's good that people can finally accept people for who and what they are for the most part. But it's stuff like ROdney King and Matthew Shepard that really dishearten all of those ideas. I'm very proud of who I am and what I've accomplished, and just because my sexual identity is different, I don't feel I should be treated any differently because of that. I'm still human. <> Yeah, this really is unfortunate, and I feel bad that you're stuck inthis imposition. But you can change it. I grew up in a very "christianized" family all my life, but I never let it affect how I thought or how I acted. I've always been comfortable saying and being me. I think that even tho it's how you've grown up, you can't let yourself be overshadowed by what you have been taught. as the great Jedi master Yoda said, "Unlearn what you have learned." ;) I think that has helped a great deal in my parents' acceptance of me. They have learned to look past the stigmas attatched to homosexuals and learned that hey, we're all just here. Deal with it, and love us, because we can't change. As far as Raspberry Swirl goes, there's nothing to say. It's a rock song, with a woman singing about a woman. For love's sake. not physical love, as tori has said OVER and OVER, but feelings. It's like, Melissa Etheridge, only tori has the balls to say she's singing about a woman. Compare "Come to my window" to RS. they're the same song - a woman singing to another woman of her love. that's all. my .02 ~* jo§h ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 10 Apr 1999 13:14:32 PDT From: "Terry Ferrell" Subject: Re: raspberry swirl Hey All, Laura wrote: > Hello everyone (Laura, te puedes saltar esto, ya lo has oido!), > >I have just been sitting back enjoying the RS thread that's been going on, >and well, before any comments I had one question...is this a woman thing, >because I haven't seen many guys posting on the subject...hello?? have you >guys felt the same way?? i'd love to hear some answers to that My response: Well I am a guy and I do have guy friends that extremely close to me and I do love them with all my heart. I think that in order to understand what Tori is talking about when she said that she love Beenie, you have to have someone of the same sex who is extememly close to you. I love my one of my guy friends with all my heart, but I am far from being gay. Just becasue you love someone of the same sex a lot, does not mean that you are gay, it means that you are a true friend with a good heart.
