Tori mentions her jaw problems in the "She" magazine article of May 1998. (See "The Dent" articles->May 1998). Sounds to me like "Temporal Mandibular Joint" [TMJ] syndrome. It's a fairly common thing, where the joint between upper and lower jaw isn't quite right, and tends to slip out a lot. Causes a lot of pain/headaches/stress, and is sometimes made better by adjusting the teeth and bite. Tori has had braces and bite-plates to try and correct it. She considers it a very "boring" subject. - -- Ken Tough Cornwall, U.K. Edge of the planet, then turn left. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 Jun 1998 00:13:37 -0700 (PDT) From: "Dominick W.

The article is in "The Sunday Review" Arts section, page 8. It includes a rather nice black and white shot. I've got a poor quality scan if anyone wants it. It starts a bit wary, but ends up applauding. There is a wonderful anecdote from Tori about one of the all-time music greats asking her, at age 16, to play and sing with him. I haven't heard it before. There are also some mild errors that close readers will pick up on, but what can you expect... ------------------------------------------------ Sunday Telegraph -- The Sunday Review, Arts page 8 May 31, 1998 "How a screwed-up waif grew up" The rumours about Tori Amos are true. Marriage has calmed rock's fey wild-child--but her new album is still dedicated to 'the faeries', as she tells Glyn Brown. Tori Amos is known to be wary of journalists, and probably rightly so. Over the length of her career, many have taken the foibles of her personality--the belief in faeries, the pelvic grinding at the piano stool--and painted over her as some kind of psycho Playboy bunny. To be fair, she hasn't always been her own best friend, starting interviews on the stern side then helplessly spilling her guts all over the floor, leaving nasty, indelible stains. These thoughts cross my mind as I wait for her in a Manchester hotel-room, but only because I can hear her outside, conferring in urgent whispers with her manager, a large chap you wouldn't willing irritate. When the door opens, Amos stops inside like a hunted springbok and, on our introduction, fixes me with a stare that's been likened to a skewering by a pitchfork, clearly probing my soul for evil. She finds my name, for a woman, confusing--but sweetly offers, as if to the disabled: "I guess Glenn Close has done a lot to help awareness." Then, resplendent in silver top and dress of designer sacking, she settles into her chair and proceeds to answer questions with serenity, intelligence, and style. Which confirms the rumour that Tori has changed a bit in the last two years. Her new album, From the Choirgirl Hotel, is as thoughtful as the previous three, but its often exultant outpouring indicates the breaching of a dam. It's the sound of transition, from screwed-up, relationship-damaged waif to--well, for one thing, a happily married woman. Freed from romantic navel-gazing, Amos now has space to address other things; for example, one of rock's hardest-working acts has started taking care of her body, which means replacing caffeine with a noxious brew of Chinese herbs, an elixir made up in Los Angeles that has apparently done wonders for Mick Jagger. Something else being reconciled is the issue of Tori's background. Raised in the fundamentalist Southern state of Maryland, she's the daughter of a Methodist minister, the Reverend Edison Amos, descended from generations of clergy. Both her parents were members of a John Knox-influenced sect from what sounds like the dark ages. Women were kept firmly in their place, "and if a woman did step out of line, she'd be called 'the shadow'--a reflection of everybody's 'bad' side." Relations with her grandomther weren't too good either. "At five", Tori once said, "I just wanted to take the butter knife and slit that bitch's throat." She took on the role of rebel fairly early, driving her father to apoplexy by declaring that Mary Magdalene and Jesus probably "had a thing". Tori has examind God--the root of the original problem--in numerous songs. All have been banned by American mainstream radio, particularly the track God itself, where the deity is a typical male right down to an obsession with his four-wheel drive. Obviously, the devil's work. "These days", she says, "I've tried to find a place where I won't have to justify myslef to anyone but myself, and to live in a way that I, never mind anyone else, can have respect for." She studied classical piano at Baltimore's Peaboy Conservatory but lost her scholarship when she became obsessed with Led Zeppelin. Thus she found herself, aged 13 and escorted by her reluctant dad, playing the supper clubs of Washington DC. Is it true that when she'd made her name, Led Zep lothario Robert Plant asked her to sing with her? And then proposed? She ruffles the famous red hair. "Oh, he'd propose to a lampshade--you know." I don't but I've heard. "And it's not a big deal. Of course, it was a cream puff moment for me, to have him call and say let's work together. But there was another time..." She thinks for a moment, misty-eyed. "When I was 16, a man walked into the restaurant of the Marriott hotel, where I was playing to make a dime. About 1980, I guess this was. He had the waiter come over, who said, 'This man would like to sing, and he'd like you to play for him.' I said [rolls eyes], O-kaay. "So the guy appears, he's black as a magic black feather. He leaned down and said [gravel voice], 'Oh, do you know _Time After Time_, sweetheart?' He meant the old song..." and she trills it mellifluously: "Time after time, / I tell myself that I'm / so lucky to be loving you... "And I relealised, I am singing with Mr James Brown. He signed my Beethoven music sheet. Of course, I've lost it. So I have played with different people. I've been in this business a long time. I'm here to hold my own and if I can't do that, then what am I doing?" Such self-belief was partly earned during those lounge-bar years, writing her first album by day and by night, often so tired she'd fall asleep on the job, head resting on the piano, fingers playing songs by rote. "I couldn't do that for ever. And I couldn't be a piano teacher, I couldn't teach scales, I'm not that skilled." Which seems unlikely, but never mind. In 1992, the career took off with the seismic _Little Earthquakes_. Album sales to date have reached upwards of eight million. The last jigsaw piece has been a happy home life. In February, Amos married sound recordist Mark Hawley--unlike her other beaux a shy, kind and supportive man. The only dark experience has been a late, complicated miscarriage, but plans for further procreation are afoot--hence the new health drive and the evil-smelling herbs. Finally, this album has a dedication to "the faeries". Does she really believe in them? She gives me a beady look. "I believe in a spirit world, and you can call it whatever you want, though people get very silly about it when I mention faeries. My grand father, who is part Cherokee, told me you should never shut the spirits out. If you do, there might come a time when you need them, when you're lost in the forest and can't find your way home. And you'll want their help, but they won't hear you." As if on cue, Tori's hefty earthly guide reappears. "We had fun, John!" she reassures him. Then, with a Tinkerbell-like, "Toodles, Glyn!" she marches off into the fray.

And, for the more cynical minded, a time of innocence that ended years later as we discovered that the naivete of the late fifties and early sixties would lead to Vietnam... that Kennedy wasn't perfect, that the United States wasn't perfect... just as Camelot was supposed to be the most perfect castle, the most perfect, shining example of chivalry and all that was good and just in the world. And yet Camelot was corrupted from within the whole time, by Guinevere and Lancelot's adultry/betrayal. It's more than just innocence ending with violence, it's innocence ending, and the discovery that the bad was there all along. In "Chalplin", Robert Downey Jr (playing the lead) says, "I love this country... it's a good country underneath." Kevin Kline, playing Douglas Fairbanks, says, "No, it's not. It's a good country on top... it's a bad one underneath." I'm paraphrasing, but that's the idea of Camelot-- a shining, perfect example on the outside, corrupted underneath. That's why Tori sing, "When you love a lot you lie a lot... I guess they did in Camelot".

I like the "earth, air, fire, water" idea - between actually showing up in the name, and fitting the character of each album pretty well, and the fact that this is the order of the albums *and* the order that the 'elements' are traditionally listed in, I'm wondering if this isn't a coincidence. =) Neat. to add a few of my own: I always thought that her statement about UtP being "girls" and BfP being "boys" didn't make all that much sense at face value - both albums have plenty of songs about relationships, just as in LE. But I think I've boiled it down to perspective - who the songs are about, who they're talking *to*, who the pronouns mean, so to speak... LE: pronouns are almost always "me". UtP: pronouns are almost always another woman Boys for Pele: the you is almost always someone she was with FtCGH: the you is often the baby Anyway, it's not quite one word, but hey.

On the CD Tori discusses ³The Truth.² She claims that there is one truth , just expressed in different ways. Some more distorted than others. It depends on the delivery I guess. Tori¹s delivery for her past albums has been by herself. At least that is how she performed it. Especially ³Boys For Pele.² Which is my favorite album ( contrary to what many people think). I have known her as ³the girl and the piano.² That is how she delivered ³The truth.² The main stream has basically settled on the that image. Then out of now where Tori announces that she will be having a band in order to spread her roots. Many people think this is to ³fit in² the mainstream. Instead it just pissed it off. If you haven¹t noticed all the mainstream critics hate ³From The Choirgirl Hotel.² The open minded critics love it. So how is pissing off the mainstream settling into the mainstream? Yes I have heard the argument that ³She is getting on all these magazine covers.² They have no choice though. The magazines have been trying to keep away from Tori (with the exception of the European ones). But The Choirgirl Hotel is like a magnet. All the heads are turning now. It is Tori¹s time to ³become the mainstream.² And what about ³The truth?² The truth is going to have to be told this time by a group of people led by Tori. If Tori performed by herself again , then ³The Truth² would be told in a distorted way. Besides Tori looks like she is having fun. She opened up to us in the hardest way possible. We should do the same for her. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 09 Jun 1998 11:51:15 -0700 From: Matthew Skillings Subject: FtCH, and Spark serial numbers Greetings all, You know what I think this is my first posting here, so hello to everyone. Now on to the excuse. I'm trying to actually update my discography with accurate information for FtCH and the released Spark singles. What I need is the serial numbers from the 3 US Spark singles (the tape, the sleeve, and the maxi). I also want to confirm that the 2 UK singles are in fact East West releases. And is there more than one release of FtCH. I kind of expected when i bought my copy here in Canada to get one that said East West on the spine (actually that's not true, I expected it to say Igloo Records, but I digress). But mine says Atlantic like the standard US copy. So is there an East West disc with a seperate serial number. Also a question about Japanese releases. I know that the Japanese BfP had Toodles Mr. Jim as an extra track, but for some reason I left it's serial number out of my discography. So if anybody could pass on the label and serial number from the spine of this disc on too me as well. I'd really like that as well. And in relation to that, has a Japanese FtCH been released, if so does it have an extra track, which one is it, and what is the serial number and applicable information. Sorry to bother everyone with this. I just really want to get everything updated before the next single comes out.

It seems to me that of late the term 'Meet & Greet' has gotten misconstrued when referring to Tori. A *true* Meet & Greet is very organized. Tori will sit in a room, at a table with her pen at the ready, and people go up one at a time for a little talk and autograph. Tori (the management, really) supplies great glossy photos and posters that she will sign for you. How do you get into one of these? Well, I used my street smarts. Others win contests on radios, etc. They take place prior to the show. Recently we have bastardized the phrase to make it include the time before and after the shows where Tori will sign things for us, and talk a bit. This is not organized, well, they try(!) and we're basically a mob trying to get our moment with Tori. To me, this is not a meet & greet. But not living up to the term does not make it any less fun. - -- ****************************************** 'When you're hiding 29 you know it ain't a crime to burn a little brighter now Burn a little brighter now!' -Fish ****************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 Jun 1998 17:28:27 -0400 (EDT) From: Richard Handal Subject: Re: Tori's concert in LAUNCH Sharon said: > What'd you guyz think about LAUNCH's live recording of Tori's "Spark"?

Be seeing you, Richard Handal, H.G. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 Jun 1998 18:07:05 EDT From: Venus65@aol.com Subject: LA Greek Tickets?

It's available legitimately on the UK limited edition Cornflake Girl single {which usually goes for $50 and up} or the Australian More Pink CD {which usually goes for $40 and up}.

For both of these, bootlegs are probably by far the easiest route to go. To see which boots these songs are on, check out the Tori-boot discography at: http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/alley/4370/tabdnew.html :) /nad ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 Jun 1998 18:05:33 -0400 From: honeybee81@juno.com (Sharon D Moeller) Subject: Re: Tori's concert in LAUNCH >Where did you get the Launch CD? >Sarah :) > I got it through the mail, I'm a subscriber. BUT I think you can get it at BIG bookstores in many places, though I haven't seen one personally myself. Booksamillion seems like a reasonable place to look for it. Also perhaps Borders. But you can get a FREE issue of LAUNCH by going to their website: www.launch.com and just click on the free issue icon on the menu. They will probably send you the Tori one for your free issue!!!

I could have sworn Tori also did a cover of 'For the Roses' one of my favorite JM songs of all times. At least, that's what my mother said (Joni Mitchell is one of her al time favorites). If not, I may have given you some false information for you b-sides/rarities list ToriBoi (but everything else is accurate).

Hi tori fans! this is the first time I have posted up here (I have been on the list for awhile, I just figured out how to post-- duh!) Anyways, this is in regards to the "teeny boppers" issue. Me, being 16 years old, must be considered a teeny bopper as well. and the stereo type of shallow little young "faerie-winged, glittery" girls, is merely a stereo type. I enjoy Tori's music with an honest inner deepness (if that makes any sense to you all) But anyhow, I have dealt with many people who are shallow and been through a lot of rocky relationships/friendships with shallow people. The point is, don't judge a book by it's cover all the time. Of course, it is our natural instinct to do so (how else are we supposed to make opinions of people we don't know?) but some people who look shallow as anything, appreciate things deeply such as tori more than anyone can ever know. I am not saying that I happen to be one of those faerie-winged, glittery girls, but I understand. They piss me off too! peace*love*tori chand xoxo ps- I love BFP as well, yet I only discovered it recently, after FTCGH came out- yet I love under the pink too (I like little earthquakes, but not as much as the other albums) :-) peace out~ ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 09 Jun 1998 22:14:13 -0400 From: Nadyne Mielke Subject: Re: Tori's concert in LAUNCH At 06:05 PM 6/9/98 -0400, Sharon D Moeller wrote: >Sarah said: >>Where did you get the Launch CD? >I got it through the mail, I'm a subscriber. >BUT I think you can get it at BIG bookstores in many places, though I >haven't seen one personally myself.

Tower Records carries Launch, as does my local Barnes and Noble as well as Border's Books and Music. /nad ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 10 Jun 1998 02:11:10 +0200 From: sabrina Subject: Frankfurt setlist and radio broadcast Hey, Just got back from the Frankfurt show and as usual, it was terrific. I'm too tired to give a review at the moment, so I'll just post what I think was the setlist (don't know why, but I have the feeling one song is missing): Black Dove (January) Precious Things (intro) iieee Cornflake Girl Playboy Mommy Pretty Good Year Cruel Here in My Head Winter Horses Spark The Waitress First Encore: God Rasberry Swirl Second Encore: Putting the Damage On One comment I will make right now, is that the intro to iieee was chilling. I don't know if anyone listened closely to the lyrics, but some words/phrases I did understand were "you and I know we're going to die" and "I'll always hold you in my heart". I'm not sure if that's the exact quote.. I"ll have to check. Important note concerning the next Frankfurt show June 23rd. This show will be broadcast on the 26th of JULY, on the radio station hr1. This is a local station, so I don't know if all of Germany can receive this. The time is 19:10. sabrina ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 Jun 1998 22:59:04 -0400 (EDT) From: the happy phantom Subject: tori singing with ferron... i know there's a cd that tori did backing vocals for ferron...i remember seeing it in 'collectables'...now i don't remeber the name of the cd...my mom has quite a ferron collection, and i want to see if she has this cd...thanks... slan, kate ------------------------------ End of precious-things-digest V3 #215 *************************************
