Hello everyone, I just wanted to thank again, everyone who responded to me about the RAINN show. I really did appreciate it :) It's too bad that so far it doesn't look like it's available on cd in its entirety. Perhaps in the future... Thanks again :) Sincerely, Irene ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 5 Jun 1997 00:54:46 -0500 (CDT) From: Jeannie Cook Subject: awesome article wow...i just read the most awesome article on tori i've ever read. maybe this has been posted here and i missed it but this is the most blunt, honest, and indepth article i've ever had the pleasure of reading on her. warning...it is a bit long...and more than a bit blunt, but i found it 10 times as any other article i've read. i know a lot of you have probably already read this....this is the famous interview where she revealed the incidents of the night she was attacked. it also will clear up any question anyone had about cornflake girls and raisin girls. ok enough rambling...hope you enjoy it as much as i did :) http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Lot/3373/rhhgaa2.htm jeannie jlc9@netdoor.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 5 Jun 1997 03:02:10 -0400 (EDT) From: Richard Handal Subject: 1980 Tori photo available online Hi, Folks: Last fall I turned up an article about Tori from the December 18, 1980 edition of the Washington Post, and posted the text to the lists. There was a *wonderful* photo with that article, and I had to go to three different libraries before I was able to find a good combination of unscratched microfilm and a decent printer before I was able to get a good copy. I'd been wanting to be able to have a way for more people to see the photo, and now Michael Whitehead has it up on his fabulous website. Right now it's on his start-up screen, but after a few more days he'll be taking it off there and just keep it on the articles link of his website. In case you don't know the URL for Mike's amazing, useful website, it's: A Dent In The Tori Amos Net Universe http://www.aye.net/~mikewhy/toriamos.html You can also get there with most browsers by aiming your web browser at tori.by.net. (A friend of mine explained to me how that works, but I'm still not sure.) It's a good article, and it's the earliest photo I've seen in which she looks like Tori Amos, if you know what I mean. I've actually found an earlier newspaper photo from a local paper of March of 1977, but I'm having difficulty getting a decent print of it off the microfilm. I have more places with that paper on microfilm that I have yet to go to, so if I get a decent print of it, you'll be the first to know. :-) It was a photo of her performing her own composition which won a county talent contest, and she's *really* singing her little heart out. *Somehow*, I'll get a good copy of this one day. Stay tuned. Same Tori time, same Tori channel. Wait--that's something else. Oh, never mind. :-) Be seeing you, Richard Handal, H.G. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 5 Jun 1997 08:04:10 -0400 (EDT) From: Eliza1138@aol.com Subject: Re: New Tori Collectable! hello all...richard and a few other older participants may remember me as Kerri...kklein@athena.valpo.edu.

But Monique, I think astrology is facinating, and if you do find the correct time and make a chart, I wouldn't mind seeing all the neat stuff you come up with. Maybe you can share your findings with us? :) Good luck and keeping looking to the stars! ;) ****** Take care, Angela~*~* - --------- > Does anybody know the exact date, time and place of birth of Tori > I'm into astrology and would like to try to learn more about Tori by drawing her > birthchart.

The information I do have says she's born on > august 22 1963, is that information correct? > > Thanks, Monique I've looked and looked through all my Tori Stuff(R) thinking that somewhere I'd seen the time of her birth stated. But nooo. Anyway, the date you have is correct. From _Tori Amos: All These Years_ by Kalen Rogers: "While her parents were visiting Tori's grandparents-to-be, a doctor grounded the very pregnant Mary Ellen, forbidding her to return home. Tori was supposed to be born at the Georgetown Hospital in Washington, D.C., but adhering to someone else's plan has never been her strong point. After all, her grandparents' home was to be the backdrop for many a happy childhood summer; Tori simply decided to spend summer number one there as well. She picked the place, but her parents picked the name, and so Tori was born Myra Ellen Amos on August 22, 1963, at the Old Catawba Hospital in Newton, North Carolina." And from _Tori Amos: Cornflake Girl_ by Susan Wilson: "On August 22, 1963, Mary Ellen Amos, wife to Dr. Edison Amos, gave birth to her third child, a girl, at the Old Catawba Hospital in Newton, North Carolina. Later, when the child was a woman, she would proclaim that this life was the latest in a long line of existences, including that of a Viking, and that it was she who had chosen to join this new family." In 1962, Dr. and Mrs. Amos already had two children; nine-year-old Mike and seven-year-old Marie. They say that they were caught up in the optimism surrounding John F. Kennedy's presidential election. For those of us who are old enough to remember that time it was as though the sky had opened and the gods were smiling down on us all. Many of us thought that Camelot would bring heaven on earth; that there would be lots of changes and perhaps even peace. Instead we got the tragedy of his death and the disillusion that followed. But my point is that the Amos' optimism was well founded. Tori has brought about tremendous positive changes and affected so many lives; my own included. So Monique, when you get the chart finished what about posting the results for those of us who are "in" to astrology to enjoy? I'd really like to hear your interpretation also. Thanks to all for reading this long-winded post. In Tori, Charlie - -- +-------------------+-----------------+--------------------------+ | C.W.

It makes sense, too. My opinion is my heartfelt belief and I can't understand how another person could possibly believe something different about the subject. When dealing with the insane you smile and say, "yes, you're right" and exit the scene. Let's all smile at each other and back off. KrW "Every time I express myself, you try to calm me down!"
