I just wanted to add my two cents here. I haven't had a chance to respond until now.

Fiona is *young* in her outlook about things. I don't blame her for not wanting to talk about it all the time, since we just cannot be victims forever. But I really believe that she doesn't know how to handle these things (e.g. the rape, fame, etc.) and is as mentally/emotionally troubled as she makes herself out to be. > As for tori, it was healing for her to talk about it. I don't think fiona > wants to draw attention to it ,and that it why she said that. Did anyone else > see that interview? I thought it was really strange of her to respond that > way about it. Maybe she just didn't want to tell howard stern about it. I think it's acceptable for Fiona to say that she doesn't want to talk about it or be a spokesperson for rape victims. She doesn't have to have the same attitude as Tori. But I definitely think Tori is crossing the river of victimhood, as she's said before, and maybe Fiona is stuck somewhere in the middle. Give her some years and a major flop. Her attitude will change. - -Karen karenjw@one.net | i only want to hear the angels laugh coffeeslut and | are they sleeping on the edge of the pretty cool bee | sky? - switchblade symphony ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 24 Oct 1997 10:02:15 PDT From: "Lamberton,Susan" Subject: RE: got my rape hat on but i always could accessorize YES!!!

She ended the song with some loud strong wor= king of her chest voice and started screaming like she did in the ending of Precious Things so often on the latter half of the tour. =20 Her performance of In the Springtime of His Voodoo was by far the best i'= ve ever heard, full of improvisation (on the piano and vocally/lyrically) an= d Girl, of course, totally blew me away, it's a whole new song. Hey Jupite= r she played on piano, so that was cool, and i LOVED it, although that's no= t one of my favorite tori songs, hehe. She did the ending kinda like the Da= kota Version, only more powerful, if you can imagine... Lovesong was awesome a= nd it was neato because she actually sang 3 lines from Kate Bush's song, "Running Up That Hill" in the middle of it. She sang this part:=20 "If I only could, I'd make a deal with God, and I'd get him to swap place= s." I was surprised and delighted to hear Tori sing more than one line from t= he song :) Cooling was pretty good, too, I can see why it wasn't on Boys for Pele, though. and Space Dog was rockin' till Tori had to leave the stage, of course, wh= ich was very sad and touching in some weird ways that umm, I won't elaborate = on. Anyway, vocally it was the best show i've ever heard. she really worked = her voice on this show, letting the audience get a whole lotta that chest voi= ce and her high-pitched wails.... wow... :) Ok, there's my review, if you don't have this show and want a copy, email= me, maybe we can do a trade or something. For a list of stuff i have to trade, go here: http://members.aol.com/WeirdyBoi/Toriphoria.html (and go to the Trade Section.) I'm currently in the middle of about 10 tape trades, so it may take a few weeks to get anything done. For those who i'm trading stuff with now, I'= m working on about a tape a day, going in the order i received stuff from whoever, so be patient and your stuff will be so pretty in the mail box := )=20 - -j'ason "hail Tori, full of grace, You are our shepherd, we shall not weep" ~=86~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~=86~ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 25 Oct 1997 20:25:58 -0400 (EDT) From: Alicia C Rowlett Subject: Re: Tori and Drugs I thought it was mentioned once on this list (or maybe it was RDT or RMTA) that Tori was allergic to cigarette smoke?
