"When I sleep I often have nightmares. I can already hear your readers saying: 'I knew that. The way your songs sound you must really have horrible nightmares.' Just like the one I'm describing in the song Black-Dove on my last album From the Choirgirl Hotel. I see a black dove. I see its face clearly. The dove is transparent, like it is made of ice. I can see my hand through it. An auger goes through it and it is bleeding water. To get the same atmosphere musically I had to describe a scene of the movie Fargo to my musicians. A car is coming towards the camera from a long distance, very slowly. You know it will arrive in a moment. But you hope that this will never happen. My nightmares are so bad, that I mostly reject it when my friends want to take me to a cinema to watch a horror movie. Then I say: 'No, thank you. I will dream in a few hours.' Sometimes I feel like Hermann Hess' Steppenwolf... The nightmares agonized me since my childhood. I am the daughter of a Methodist preacher and as a child I was sexually abused by a friend of the family. I think that the nightmares are telling me things about me I need to know. And I try to understand what they mean. Maybe so I can get to know something more about my soul."

I don't know about anywhere else but I know that here in Houston our venue is pretty small, and all of the sometimes Tori fans I know who would have gone if it was at some huge pavilion didn't even bother with tickets.. Don't get me wrong but as far as I know, the people who are rowdy are those who don't really care, and with the smaller venues, people who really care are going to try the hardest to get tickets, which fills the seats with good people [ :o) ] and doesn't leave much room for those who buy tickets the day of the show not knowing who Tori Amos is simply because they have nothing better to do that night...

"My voice is the star of the play." He describes one of these characters, with typical frankness, as "a young, attractive bachelor who goes to the city and leaves as a complete drug addict." The track "Poses" is, in fact, a meditation on "the fall of a young man." >> maybe the connection there is tori's got her girls' characters for SLG, and Rufus has his for Poses... if this is just rambling*L* forgive me.. it's the cold meds warping my brain.... ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Oct 2001 12:03:05 +0100 From: "Danny.Weddup" Subject: London Apollo show Hi everyone, Yesterday Joshua Meier wrote: "Does anyone know if the London Apollo Hammersmith show is sold out? I REALLY would love to get tickets - I missed her the first time cause I'm studying here (in London) and didn't arrive until after the show, and now when I go to the ticketmaster website it's saying that the tickets are not currnetly on sale. So are they all gone? Am I not going to be able to see her this tour? Thanks for any info." I'm afraid it looks like it is sold out. At both Ticketmaster.co.uk and the nme.com ticketshop it lists the show as sold out. Manchester Apollo is apparently sold out too, so Glasgow is the only UK show with tickets left. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news :o(.

I attended this show and was in love with it, so I was wondering if anybody who has a recording could *please* contact me and we'll set up something...I'll make it worth your time. :) Thanks so much!!

LMAO! the clerk @ B&N's said the same thing!! i asked her which album cover she chose, she said the smokin one was best cuz the rest of em were too glammed up. hehe i got the Happiness cover anyway, becuz i like what it represents --the whole song is cool, with a twist in the title.
