I always loved that because the lyrics seems to mean soemthing completely unexpected when Tori sings them, something unintended. Therefore I think it would be cool for someone like Peter Steele to sing a Tori song.. it would be at the very least instructive, if not giving a little back.. Tori obviously really likes it when people make renditions of her songs, or at least help her collaborate, and I don't think she would be offended by Korn or Marilyn Manson (especially not with the NIN connection there) or Type O specifically because she likes that kind of subversion. To put Maynard from Tool on the stage with her singing a song about how the son of God is really a female, only to before beg Trent Reznor to sing with her on a song about (in my opinion) Mary Magdalyn's relationship with Christ... I mean it always seemed like the essence of masculinity paired wth the essence of femininity. Kahlan "When will you wake up? I want you more than the stars and the sun...

And with that Jesus may have been a woman thing, I never thought about it like that and this line kind of backs it up if you think about it like that: "Muhammad my friend it's time to tell the world we both know it was a girl back in bethleham..." And with that thing about Muhammad raping Mary, well, maybe she was raped but (not by muhammad) in sence she was still a virgin, so God sent an angel down to Joseph so he wouldn't think she had an affair. That's kind of off the subject of Tori, but you really have me thinking. Oh with Tori and all her songs that some of you think are about incest, she may actualy sing about that because she talks about how she imagines that Mary and Jesus got together intimately (She talked about that on some interview on a page, don't know what page..sorry..), and that's incest...so I don't know. Just some more thoughts. ~Hanna~ ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 24 Jan 1998 13:16:56 -0600 From: Rachel Roth Subject: MMF When I went to the DDI tour, Tori opened up MMF with a spoken passage that sounded similar to: "When I was younger I'd go to church with my father and we'd always sing "oh little town of bethlehem..." and one year I turned to my father and said now, dad, that's not the way it REALLY was... and he said 'myra ellen don't you even think about it'" now that's not it word for word, but its close enough...out of tori's own mouth...I think its hypothesizing about jesus being a woman.

Silent All These Years "Excuse me but can I be you for a while" This is saying that she'd rather not be in her possition right now. "In these Jeans of his with her name still on it" This means that she got pregnant by a man who doesn't care about her anymore and has a new girlfriend. "So you found a girl who thinks really Deep Thoughts" She is singing to the man who got her pregnant; he's found another woman. "Boy you best pray that I bleed real soon" self-explanatory "My scream got lost in a paper cup" the paper cup is for the pregnancy test "I got 25 bucks and a cracker do you think it's enough To get us there" 25 bucks isn't enough for an abortion and the cracker is for morning sickness. "Years go by if I'm stripped of my beauty" when your pregnant you gain weight, and children are said to make your hair grey (my mom says). "One more casualty You know we're to EASY easy easy" one more abortion; abortion is killing, but if you have to do it, you have to do it. OK, that's it... this is open for discussion, it's only my theory.

You're right, of course, that they both came "from the girl" if, in fact, christ ever actually was born. But I think that it's much more than a lesson in comparative religion. IMHO, followers of christ and mohammed are the MOST patriarchial of all of the world's major religions. According to the NT, god is the head of man and man is the head of woman. (Sorry I don't have one in front of me so I can give the exact quote.) Surely this is what Tori is referring to. She's been very vocal about her distaste (contempt even) for the patriarchial aspects of organized, contemporary religions. Perhaps she's saying, "Hey muslums, wake up and smell the coffee and you too, christians." (With apologies to Ann Landers and also Tori.) Muslums "just don't get it" any more than do mainstream xians. In Tori, Charlie - -- +-------------------+-----------------+--------------------------+ | C.W.
