Hey I was perusing a little newstand checking for "our little fairy" covers and found Tori on the Cover of Oct '01 AP Alternative Press magazine. She is stunning with a sweet beret, beautiful green eyes, and her firey locks. The article is 7 pages with some great pics. I love the one of her playing cards at a table with four Toris. In the article she hits on the new album and personal life. Tori talks motherhood and states" I"m a crap cleaner; I'd get fired but I can bring home the bacon. I'm a musician. This is what I do. I'll be a better mom if I can continue to be a musician." (from AP article) She talks in depth about the truth of her attack and her experience. About being psychologically mutilated and singing to her captor to save herself from being cut up with "Me and a knife". How she put her life back together "through love not hatred. And her music" It also features an awesome page called Tori's daycare. It has a long shot of the twelve photos of SLG and descriptions from Tori on her "strange girls" speaking on their meanings from her/their perspectives. ~~one excerpt everyone will like from the list~ "97 bonnie and clyde" This song is told from the point of view of the mother who's about to be dumped off a bridge by her husband and baby daughter. "The big thing is that she's hearing that her daughter has been drawn into this (crime), and it's very, very difficult when you're helpless and can't intercede. She knows that her daughter will carry this forever. (from the AP article) Awesome stuff look for it everywhere out now. Also if you haven't heard Tori sold 110,000 copies in week one and landed at #4 as the HOT SHOT DEBUT on billboards top 200 see http://www.billboard.com/billboard/charts/bb200.jsp Peace and love and Tori hugs to all! ~~Brian F check me out here if you may need an ear from an Ear With Feet http://forums.delphi.com/alltheseyears/start http://www.geocities.com/alltheseyears1/ never forget 9-11-01 ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 2 Oct 2001 09:34:52 +0100 From: "Chris Tarr" Subject: UK Tickets hello this maybe old news, but i just got my london tickets (seams they are nearly sold out already! with none left in the stalls only the circle) from ticketmaster.co.uk The 2 UK shows they list are: Tori Amos @ LONDON APOLLO HAMMERSMITH Day: Friday Date: 07/12/01 Time: 19:30 Price Range: #22.50 - 25.00 & Tori Amos @ APOLLO MANCHESTER Day: Thursday Date: 06/12/01 Time: 19:00 Price Range: #20.00 Best wishes Chris Tarr ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 02 Oct 2001 09:04:46 -0300 From: "Lau@Work" Subject: 99x Tori will be at Atlanta's 99x at 9.30 today.... hopefully someone will be able to tape that and send it my way ;-) I'll try to listen over the internet as I'm doing now, but with Tori at 99x I expect the conection to get really slow.... as always besos lau ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 02 Oct 2001 08:55:46 -0400 From: strange little woj Subject: second san diego show from ToriAmos.com : Important ticket notice for San Diego For the November 20th San Diego show, a second show is being added.

Thanks!! ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 02 Oct 2001 13:27:19 -0400 From: strange little woj Subject: cdnow review of clearwater show Intense Tori Amos Enraptures Audience In Florida Oct 1, 2001, 1:20 pm PT Despite the fact that Tori Amos' last two major tours have been with a bona fide rock band, Amos' two hour solo show at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater, Fla., did not lack intensity. A testament to her musicianship, Amos kept fans enraptured on her second date of a major North American tour with just her famous Bosendorfer grand piano, and Rhodes and Wurlitzer organs. The performance felt more like an intimate gathering of friends than an official rock concert. Amos did not need the aid of backing musicians, nor did she need to bloat her performance with flashy lights or costume changes. Watching Amos, a classically trained piano virtuoso, writhe and spasm at the keys was far more engaging than any gaudy display of fireworks. At some points Amos simultaneously played both the organ and piano, adding rich musical flourishes to the songs. Amos owns her songs; witnessing her spread-eagle on the piano bench living the music lucidly illustrates her passion. With regard to music, Amos judiciously divided her set among songs from all her albums. Her newest, Strange Little Girls, an album of covers, provided the evening's eerie opener, her take on Eminem's gruesome "'97 Bonnie and Clyde." A slashed curtain descended with a photograph of Amos portraying Eminem's dead wife. Amos spoke the words from offstage with a backing track as spotlights probed. Reds and blues stabbed the audience. The sinister rendition felt like a twisted funeral for the woman, with the audience disquieted and stunned. As the song concluded the audience rose in a standing ovation and Amos appeared onstage. Other emotional high points came as Amos did an a capella rendition of "Me and a Gun," a stark recounting of her own rape. During the song it seemed that the oxygen had been vacuumed from the room; Amos hypnotized the crowd. Her receptiveness to fans surfaced as she played "Never Seen Blue" and "Northern Lad," both requested earlier. During "Hey Jupiter," her last song for the evening, Amos forget the lyrics to the second verse. She stopped playing, asking "O.K., what happens now?" Fans near the front offered the coveted lyrics and Amos resumed her playing to laughter and furious applause. Fan favorites and older songs got makeovers, including "Crucify," which Amos played with an extended introduction on the Wurlitzer. Before playing the reworked tune she said, "This song wanted to do something different with herself, wear a different dress for a while." Amos' staple "Winter" also featured a more intricate piano introduction and lyrical improvisations. Canadian troubadour Rufus Wainwright provided a muscular opening set. The self-dubbed "male Tori Amos" played solo with an electric piano and a set of guitars. Although Wainwright's music translated well live, he made it clear that when performing with his band, the songs resemble the ornately orchestrated album versions better. Despite not having the band Wainwright's music never sounded derivative and was, in fact, well received by the crowd. - -- Brian Orloff ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 2 Oct 2001 16:36:47 -0300 From: "Carlos Verrastro" Subject: Matthew Shepard & Merman Hi ewfs!

Matthew Shephard, a student at the University of Wyoming, was brutally beaten by Aaron James McKinney and Russell Arthur Henderson. In the attack, Shephard was tied to a fence and beaten until he lay comatose. Primary amongst his injuries (of which there were many) was a crushed skull. McKinney and Henderson have both been sentenced to two life sentences without parole. Two people who aided in the attack, Chastity Vera Pasley and Kristen Leann Price, were also sentenced. Pasley received two years, and Price received 18 months. Tori was not directly affected by his death. When she became aware of his brutal murder, however, she began dedicating "Merman" in his memory.

Hi Everyone: This question is for the lucky people who were able to attend the Florida concerts: When Tori performed Cool On Your Island did she sing the first verse like on the previous tours (i.e. - Newark, Delaware - 11.24.98, Milwaukee, Wisconsin - 6.8.96 [late]) or did she sing the entire song? Cool On Your Island is my favorite Y Kant Tori Read song and I *love* hearing her sing that song solo. Just curious - Thanks for your time.

I know he was kill in a gay hate crime. Anyone could >> tell me detailed how it happened, what has happened with the ones >> who killed him, and how Tori was affected with the story? I listened to an mp3 of her union chapel show, where she says "some of you may have heard what happened to matthew sheppard..." and was a little shocked. I live in Colorado, very close to wyoming, and thought since I, myself was flooded with news reports about this gruesome event, everyone was. If you go to probably any north american news website and search for "Matthew Shepard", you'll find pages about the murder. I don't know about Tori, but if she is anything like me, she probably felt so shocked that things like this still happen in America. But then, America isn't quite as enlightened as we Americans think it is.
