Okay I know that the first time I had ever heard of Dew Drop Inn was when I was watching a history video and thy were talking about some person who started a little hotel chain called Dew Drop Inn so I think in Tori's song, To Kill A Mockingbird it is referring to this hotel. I think there is still one in New Orleans or somewhere in Louisiana and I believe thats where the chain started but don't quote me on any of this.

Hello everyone!

Neil asked to stay at a place of tori's where he could write some of stardust and she agreed only if he would write her into the story so he made her into a tree...

Tori is on the cover of a wine magazine called WINE X. It's the current isuue so it is still available at the news stands. The picture I think is an old one from around 'Boys for Pele' days. In real big letters on the side of the magazine it says TORI AMOS. Underneth her picture it says " The Diehard Redhead Diva Tunes into Wine". I first learned about this on accident. In The April edition of Glamour Mag on page.118, there is a little blurb about the mag and the issue thy have pictures is Tori's. Then they have the website addy which is http://www.winexwired.com They archive their past issues and If you LOVE wine then I think you will like the mag. I loved how they describe the wines and the have great articles, I guess meant to appeal to Gen Xers whatever So in a few weeks or so I guess the Tori one will be available on line, but until then you can see a picture of it at http://www.winexwired.com/archives/pivols.htm Thats all **Molly Marguerite** ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 11 Apr 1999 10:11:51 PDT From: "Jamie Hall" Subject: Re:If Anyone's interested cool, if not I am sorry to bother anyone.

I was talking to this girl I know, and as it turned out we both a really big Tori Amos fans. We talked a little about her and then she made the comment that I didn't have any right listening to Tori because I am a Christain. Well, yes I am a Christain and I am very devoted to God, but I can still listen to Tori. She may not be the biggest fan of God, but she is just expresses her opinions, I don't have to agree with them. Also, just because I love Tori does not mean that I have to model my life after her. I just wanted to post this message, becuase that really made me mad, that she said that I couldn't listen to Tori just because I am a Christain. I would love to her any of you thoughts about this.

I'm sure many of you on this list have had the occasion to do so. And what a wonderful experience it must have been. People often ask me if I would want to meet her, or they simply just assume that when I go to a show, I long for a moment outside by the buses or a chance to get backtage. But, that is so not the case. I feel that I can never meet her, I don't want to destroy the Goddess-like picture I have formed of her in my heart & in my mind. Not necessarily that meeting her would be a disappointment, but why mess with the perfection that her music has built for me? For some, I am sure it would very much seem like a crusade, a pilgrimage to meet her, but for me, she is a place I can never go. Like Tori never wanting to visit Borneo, she can't go there, it's locked up in her heart, as she is in mine. Besides, I am not sure that I would be ready for her in this lifetime. I would much rather be the quiet observer, speaking to her simply wouldn't justify the void her music has filled in my gut And I say gut, because when the void is not full, it aches so much as to that of a starving belly. It would all come out wrong, I would look like a gushing fool, when the poetry I feel inside is because of her & her music. Anyone understand? I would love to hear your thoughts on this subject.
