[much good info about FGM snipped] Another song which for me relates strongly to Posessing the Secret of Joy is "Blood Roses". After reading PtSoJ a year or so ago, I found that "Blood Roses" was just too intense to listen to very often; the image of Tashi drawing those roosters, and the vivid description of her remembering what happened makes it difficult to listen to when being overcome with emotion might be dangerous (e.g., driving). It is very strange what the connection does, it intensifies both creations for me. - -Richard. @ \@/ Richard A.

G'mother was a fundalmentalist. There was a lot of verbal abuse by this grandmother (the monster --"Greeting the monster in our easter dresses", and altho' I haven't read anything to confirm this, it also sounds as tho' her G'father wasn't much better. Then of course you get into religious oppresion, but I won't go there.

I interpreted the question to mean good seats for any Tori show, not just the upcoming Tori tour. Since the tickets for the club tour will not be sold at TicketMaster, that part of the message doesn't apply in that exact instance. However, for the "real" tour when it -does- apply, that's good information to have. /nad *************************************************************************** * Nadyne Mielke, CS majour, Southern Tech, Marietta, GA * * * * "I regret to say that we of the FBI are powerless to act in cases of * * oral-genital intimacy, unless it has in some way obstructed interstate * * commerce.

There is next to no information on the tour yet. We have a small list of tentative cities, but no dates yet. As soon as all of this information is available, you can believe that it will be posted to -all- the online Tori forums, including this list, RDT(RN), ToriNews, and rec.music.tori-amos. If you're impatient, the following websites may break the news two seconds before those same people post that same information right here: Mikewhy's Tour98 site is at: http://www.aye.net/~mikewhy/tour98.html Really Deep Thoughts (the official fan club): http://www.toriamos.org T.O.R.I.: http://www.webville.com If no tour news is posted to either here or the other forums, then we don't know anything. /nad *************************************************************************** * Nadyne Mielke, CS majour, Southern Tech, Marietta, GA * * * * "I regret to say that we of the FBI are powerless to act in cases of * * oral-genital intimacy, unless it has in some way obstructed interstate * * commerce.

I'm in San Diego now, but I'd be happy to make a road trip for Tori tickets! And if there is a way to find her, I will find her... Adam adamwm@adnc.com P.S.

Neither of these songs is in their entirety on the soundtrack, but "Finn (Intro)" is the introduction to one of those two songs. The score does not contain any information of "who did what" 'cause it's a score {orchastrated music, as opposed to the soundtrack which is generally songs with lyrics}. All music on the score is composed by Patrick Doyle. /nad *************************************************************************** * Nadyne Mielke, CS majour, Southern Tech, Marietta, GA * * * * "I regret to say that we of the FBI are powerless to act in cases of * * oral-genital intimacy, unless it has in some way obstructed interstate * * commerce.

I'll get more in detail about these wonderful fanzines at another time, but what really caught my eye was something Tori asked to be relayed to her fans prior to the "UTP" US tour. To quote: "We do have a favor to ask, please do not scream things to Tori while she is playing. Part of the magic that happens at a Tori concert is the dead silence during songs, and people yelling things to her is a lot like the phone ringing at the wrong time, it can spoil the magic. Thanks for your cooperation." I hope we all can contribute to the magic. Much thanks to permanate lurker, John.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I've seen everything that has been known about club tours has been posted. I'm kinda peeved about people asking if Tori is coming to "X" city or how and when can they get tickets. As soon as something is known, I'm sure that we will be one of the first to know. I have an idea for all of you who want to know about the club tours. The Upcoming 1998 Tori Amos Concert Tour Visit this site every day. This is a TORI NEWS LIST. I'm extremely sorry if this offended anyone, that was not my intention.
