Thanks in advance -- :)) circles and circles again, chris ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 07 Jul 1999 21:42:14 PDT From: H P Subject: Quote help needed... Hi everyone, Sorry to cross post this but I've been searching for a quote that I can't seem to find. If anyone knows the exact quote when Tori named her fans ears with feet it would be an extreme help. One more request: i don't even remember which list it was posted on yesterday or the day before but i saw a website I really liked. My computer shut down while I was viewing it and I lost the address. I'm pretty sure it was joshiieees website that had pics, mp3's and real audio. So if you have the exact quote or the website address it would help so much! Please email me directly-- hp@hotmail.com Thanks, Holly icq: 3042790 _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

Hi, All: Umm, unless there was an international law passed when I wasn't looking requiring all songs with a person as their subject to actually be about a specific real person, then there certainly has been a hell of a lot of presumptiveness in this thread. I'm impressed by how absolutely convinced some folks have been in this thread that the song is about the person they believe it to be about, when as far as I can see, there's no reason it has to have been about anybody at all. It's a SONG. It could be about anyone, or, it could be 100% fiction, also known as art. Wild. Just some nagging thoughts coming from me, not believing I know enough about the private lives of celebrities to be able to tell if any songs were written about them. (*I* think it might have been written about the face on the surface of Mars. Reasons to follow another time. But what the heck do *I* know.) I'll leave, now. Be seeing you, Richard Handal, H.G. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 8 Jul 1999 00:19:57 -0700 (PDT) From: robin cole Subject: Re: here. in my head mairie wrote: > "So maybe Thomas Jefferson wasn't born In your backyard like you have said and Maybe I'm just the horizon you run to when she had left You there, you, all here in my head and Running around and calling me come back I'll show you the roses and brush off the snow and Open their petals again and again and you know that Apple green ice cream can melt in your hands I can't so..." > What I get is that even if he's a liar, and even if he has put her on the back burner for this other girl, she still has feelings for him. She wants to show him the roses, and what love can really be like. i've always seen it as him wanting to show the roses to *her*. it's his way of pulling her back, again, even though he's only comes to her when the other woman doesn't want him. and she knows what he's doing (the horizon line tells us) but she can't escape his hold over her. she is like the roses, opening herself to him again and again. just my interpretation, robin :) _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

All I could think of was Tori's Blood Roses. I dont know if there is any connection. Hi everybody first of all any news for you about new cure album from Club America: the new cure album is titled 'bloodflowers'. according to robert smith, it is "the third installment of a trilogy that began in 1982 with the album PORNOGRAPHY and continued with 1989's DISINTEGRATION". he then says that he will see us all after the fall for a U.S. tour. make of it what you will but if you'd like some statistical info on what a bloodflower is and what it looks like, visit: http://homearts.com/affil/gardb/plants/asclcura.htm Daisy Melanie daislen@wctc.net "Women must understand that simply attacking or hating all men is just another form of disempowerment. A woman has to realize that when she makes a man crawl it doesn't give her power. All it will do is make her puke eventually. Rather than say "all men are bastards" let's say "all men are infants, until they decide to be men." Calling them bastards is boring at this stage." - -Tori Amos ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 8 Jul 1999 10:50:59 -0400 From: "Susan Stewart" Subject: Re: nice people Ok ok ok...eek im getting flamed. No, I mean, here is the deal...John...NICE guy...but can you ACTUALLY say that everyone of Tori's "people" are ALL nice? I mean, Yes I came across a bunch of nice people (like joel...but he gave my mom a VERY rude remark and she wasn't that happy about it) but this one tour director was VERY mean. The man that was helping me get backstage asked her "Does Tori have time to see this young lady...she really needs to tlak to her for a second." and the woman replied "Well, Tori is busy, how many times do I need to say that. I am sure what this girl has to say is far from important, now leave." So I mean, can you call that nice (and I quoted the words from what I heard). - -Susan Visit my website at http://fly.to/TheNoTORIousTori "But do I hate what she is, or do I want to be her." - Tori Amos - ----- Original Message ----- From: Janet & Jon Haverman To: Sent: Tuesday, July 06, 1999 4:24 PM Subject: nice people > > >Susan posted: > > > >>I swear, her tour > >>directors are NOT nice people...trust me.
