Or on *any* MTV network? I just want to know so that I can start stalking (not really) the programmers of MTV Latino until they play it. Or the "Jackie's Strength" one? I would appreciate any info. I will start requesting them both. MTV Latino are just friendly like that and they have the "Spark" video on heavy rotation, last week it was #3 on the "5 Most Requested" countdown, show Madonna is queen of, with her groovy "Ray Of Light" video. So I'm sure that I start requesting it (I need to be sure *any* MTV network has it) they will start playing it. You just have to tell them "MTV Europe already has it, and you *don't*!?!?! Don't get lagged!", so they will know what they have to do. I'm very nice to them, actually. So if you anything folks, don't blink and write back to me. That's all folks.

I was at Hot Topic Online..which I'm extremely addicted to. But ANYWAY, I was extremely excited to find the 98 Plugged Tour Piano Tank Top for sale there for $16.99, which I'm sure is most likely cheaper than it will be at the shows. Here is the link for it Tori Amos Tank Top , and if the link doesn't seem to work, the address is http://www.hottopic.com/e- sellhottopic/Store/prodinfo.asp?prodid=791 For those of you who don't have internet access, the top is a 100% cotton tank top with black straps. It has a red piano on the front, with "Tori" falling down the curves of the piano right above the piano in black lettering in the style of the back of the "Winter" single, and underneat the red piano it says "AMOS" in red capital letters.

Subject: Milwaukee Journal Sentinal Ok, for us Milkwaukee folk, we know what that paper is, if any of you get it, Tori was featured in it Wednsday July 15th and they had a pretty good article and a nice picture in the Cue section and it was in the inside of the Cue Section page 3 I think, and I'm still waiting for the concert review. I'll try to post both of those. And I need someones help...badly. I didn't get a chance to give Tori what I wanted to when she came because I didn't come early enough to be able to do that, so if I shipped what I wanted her to have to one of you, I was wondering if you could get it to her in any way, it would be better if the show you were seeing was in early august or very late july, I'm willing to pay for you to give it to her or tape any or all of my CD's, please, someone, i need your help!!!!

ToriBoi Joey's Skies ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 16 Jul 1998 23:04:47 -0600 From: Cheryl Pike Subject: Rocktropolis Allstar News review 7/16 Here is Allison Stewart's (from Rocktropolis Allstar News) review of the Milwaukee show: MORE IS LESS IN TORI AMOS' MILWAUKEE TOUR OPENER The thousands of teenage girls crowding the Milwaukee Arena Wednesday (July 15) evening for the first night of Tori Amos' North American tour, many of them with bottle- red hair and suitably Tori-like outfits, may have been too young to remember the Tori of old (or the Tori of 1996, even), back when Amos used to deliver the world's most gloriously profane piano recitals. Amos is now touring for the first time with a full band, and the more nostalgic in the audience (or at least, those over the age of 15) might have found themselves longing for the days when she would tour with just a piano. During these shows, upon which Amos forged her considerable reputation, every song was an aria of Callas- like proportions, and her piano bench a phallic substitute. Now backed by an accomplished, if unwelcome, all- male guitar- bass- and- drums three- piece, Amos' show seemed more like a traditional rock and roll concert, with all the might and bombast that would imply. However unwelcome, the band lent a sturdier, more grounded air to some of her more flittery numbers. As a result, songs like "Cornflake Girl," "Crucify Myself," and "Cloud on My Tongue" sounded more assured (a voice- track- augmented "Jackie's Strength" and a slightly plodding "Spark" less so). Previously the very definition of the indulgent artiste, whatever was excessive about Amos seemed more bearable when rounded out (or perhaps merely drowned out) by a full band. Her somewhat unorthodox phrasing and enunciation didn't seem as annoying, and her aggressively ethereal air seemed charming, not fey. Amos, wearing a what- was- she- thinking combination of black pants, a black top, pointy heels and a sequined apron/ kerchief/ thing, was never in finer voice and ever agreeable (though she spoke little, the crowd regarded her every utterance as Scriptural). Wednesday night was one of her first playing arena- sized venues. "Just think of it as being like a huge living room," she said helpfully, although the hall was tiny by arena standards (just over 4,000 seats, compared to the 10,000+ venues she'll play later in the tour), and only about three- quarters filled. Amos may have felt the move to larger rooms necessitated a fuller sound (it doesn't), but the full-band treatment -- not to mention the standard- issue arena laser light show -- robbed her of much of her originality. The rooms and the sound may be larger, but Amos seemed smaller, diminished somehow. During the lesser parts of her set, she was reduced to being simply another female frontwoman -- albeit one with an excessive flair for drama, and really good shoes. Given that many songs went on a good two minutes longer than they should, and some even verged on light techno, the band hasn't succeeded in tempering all Amos' indulgences, either. Tellingly, the biggest applause of the night came went they went away, leaving her to perform an affecting solo section in the middle of the show. Hopefully, they won't take it personally. ~~Cheryl~ ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 17 Jul 1998 03:40:14 -0400 From: Nasir Ahmed Subject: tori toronto tix for sale A friend has two tix for sale in section 202, 16th row.

Jorg Litges has it on a web site. http://members.aol.com/jlitges/PEPCHAT.htm Thanks for prompting me to run this down, Molly! BTW, although there was no date on the web site to indicate when it took place, Tori mentioned during it that she had just finished her soundcheck at the 120th show in Columbus, Ohio, which places it on August 1, 1996. I might as well include the relevant question and answer while I'm here. From rebecca@interaccess.com: I wanted to know what happened to the turquoise ring and I wanted to know why she loves those small silver circle shaped earrings of hers :) Tori Says: the turquoise ring I gave to a friend, because it just represented too many memories and I gave it to somebody who really understood what it represented. And really wanted it, as girlfriends can. The silver earrings are from a jewelery maker by the name of Jacqueline Rabin. She is an African-American living in London, and she is very talked about. You can find her work in a place off Carnaby street called Jess James. Great jewelry store. all the pieces are in aquariums. without the water. Be seeing you, Richard Handal, H.G. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 17 Jul 1998 20:44:32 -0500 From: "Giovanni" Subject: Jackie's Strength Video! *read* Hey everyone, Well, I feel really happy to be the first to say have seen the new video for Jackie's Strength! YAY! MTV Latino premiered the video last night on a show called XPO, and if you live in Latin America and get MTV Latino, this show will be on again tonight, tomorrow night and on Sunday morning. First, let me start off by saying that this video has as many sides to it as any Tori song and it can (and will) be interpreted as though it was a song on itself. What a wonderful video. I have watched it over and over again just so that I success at trying to give you all an idea of what the video looks like. So this might get a little long. The video starts with old footage of Jackeline Onassis and J.F.K.; their wedding, he getting on an airplane, she walking, and them both together on the presidential limo. Then a woman (Tori's "mom" on the video, I assume) comes in the room (the images were being shown on TV) and takes her baby (which I suppose is Tori) to their front lawn... then, a taxi is shown and Tori (34 year-old Tori; wearing a bridal gown!) is on the backseat; the baby on the front lawn has grown and is now a cute little girl, and Tori (on the cab) is looking out the window while the cab moves, then they show a couple on a car (the video is pretty 60's) and they are kissing, but when Tori's cab passes them by (Tori is watching all that happens outside from the backseat) , the woman (japanese-looking woman) turns her head around. **The guy that is kissing the woman looks like some kind of politician to me**. Then they show a flag of the U.S. and you can see it is hoist. So you can assume it's Independence Day, I guess. Then they show some people at what seems to be a church, and there is a guy with long hair who I assume is a groom looking very nervious, like desperately waiting for the bride to arrive. They do a close-up of his hands while he's grabbing his head and he has tattoo on his wrist. He looks like he is recriminating something to an older guy, perhaps the bride's father. Remember Tori is watching all of this happen from the cab; BUT here she doesn't look out the window, she looks as though she is trying to hide. Then they show a woman (and the woman stares suspiciously at Tori's cab) and she is walking towards the front door of her house and when she turns the key to open the lock, they show the woman's daughter who is with a guy on her bed (they look very young but not like teenagers; they both have their shirts off; it's easy to see they were sleeping together) , both getting up in a hurry; they don't show the girl's face but her chest and she has locket (I'm sorry here, I don't know if I'm using the right word; but I can tell you that it's a medallion where you can put a picture inside) hanging from her neck. Then, they show the long-haired guy (the one on the girl's bed; I think it's the same who was seen desperate waiting for the bride to arrive) getting on his motorcicle in a hurry. Then they move on to another situation: they show young girl burn her hand with a lighter (?) and there's a baby crying in front of her. Tori is still watching all of this happen from inside the cab. By now we are in the **only popular with anorexia** part of the song. Then they show a young girl in a bathroom taking a home pregnancy test (the camera focuses on a box that says "home pregnancy test") and suddenly the girl's mother (they are both chinese/japanese-looking people) starts knocking on the bathroom door violently and trying to break in. Then they show a really old lady with a couple of pills on her hand; she looks at a clock on her wall, then stares at the pills on her hand, but doesn't take them... she puts them on a table; like she's giving up or something. Then Tori's cab stops in a corner waiting for the traffic light to turn to green, while they're waiting you can see the reflection on the car window of an old woman on a wheelchair, which is being pushed by a little girl (her granddaughter, I assume), then the cab makes a left (or right) turn and Tori stares at the old woman and the little girl. But suddenly, you can see someone's feet running, then Tori (on the backseat) turns around and looks out the rear window; you can see the young girl (the one who had a guy on her bed) running behind the car, Tori (on the cab) waves goodbye and so does the girl... but then the cab stops and Tori gets off it, she runs to where the girl is, the girl turns around and guess who it is? Well, it's young Tori. She looks very cute and kinda innocent here; her hair is all messed up. They are stading in front of each other, young Tori lifts up her arms and looks like she's trying to grab the bridal veil (the white veil on Tori's head; remember she's wearing a bridal gown), they do a close-up of young Tori's chest and the locket that hangs from her neck opens and there's a picture of Jackie Onassis inside. but 34 year-old Tori lets go off the veil and then it is up on the air. Here is where the video ends. I am still amazed by the brilliance of this video. Important fact: the video is all in Black & White. It was directed by James Brown (he directed "Spark" as well). If you thought "Spark" was great, just wait until you see this one. A few conclusions: **I got lost on my wedding day** takes meaning on the part where they show the nervous groom, and remember Tori hides here. I'm still confused, but certain is for me that: this is kind of a chronological story being told here; in flash-back way. Baby Tori watching Jackie's wedding, her **Mama laid her on the front lawn**. Then the baby grows up and Tori is now a little girl (the little girl is chubby and cute, :). Then they show the **lost on my wedding day** situation. The groom that is shown here is the same that is seen later on young Tori's bed. So naturally you can assume that they're getting married. But Tori is hiding during that part. In the end, young Tori and 34 year-old Tori re-encounter. And the other situations take place in parallel to the main story... I wish I could make pictures of the video, but I don't have a video card. :(. Tori looks the most beautiful I've ever seen her on this video. I especially adore the way she looks on the **I got lost on my wedding day** verse. She IS singing during all the parts of the video (on the back of the cab) where she is shown, and even in the end, young Tori sings the closing lines, and also the final **hmm** of the song. She looks extremely beautiful here. The B&W quality of the video enhances the images and the 60's look. Excuse my poor english, I did my best trying to narrate the story. I hope MTV US starts showing the video soon; I am now going to start requesting it on MTV Latino, and I will also start requesting the Raspberry Swirl video which I have yet to see. "Spark" in on heavy rotation on MTV Latino. Don't you just love them? :) And I also wanted to tell you all that I got a few Tori singles a few days ago (thank-you Cynthia!) and I **love** Cooling. What a beautiful song. . It almost makes me cry. "Purple People" is also an excellent song and I think it would have fit very well on the album. Excellent. The only single I am missing now is the "Spark" UK #1 (with Bachelorette and Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas). I have to get it! Good luck to you all, hope you can see the video too soon, Giovanni giofabman@hotmail.com http://come.to/corncity ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 17 Jul 1998 19:55:02 -0700 (PDT) From: Greg Burrell Subject: Tori News from RDT Hi Everybody, 7/17/98 CONCERTS These are all the concerts that Tori's management confirmed as going on sale in the near future: ------------------------------------------------------------ Concert City Venue On-Sale Date Date ------------------------------------------------------------ 8/29 Norman, OK Lloyd Noble Center 7/18 8/30 Omaha, NE Orpheum Theater 7/18 9/19 San Jose, CA SJ State Events Center 7/19 9/24 Las Vegas, NV The Joint 7/25 TOUR PLAN Tori's management is hard at work lining up more concerts.

Hope you had a good day, just wondering, in case tori DID come to texas, how does she sing "spark"? is it like the album version or is it more like the letterman and leno appearances, with the longer piano solo after the second chorus? (i happen to think the letterman version is the best one i've heard)... just wondering. thanx a lot in advance... anthony :) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 17 Jul 1998 23:14:52 -0500 (EST) From: Elizabeth Lauren Perry Subject: Attilla The Honey Hello =] I've noticed a bit of discussion here about the Attilla the Honey interview.

Dew Drop Inn Boulder ?? I'm really anxious to find it !!! PLEASE HELP! Joey ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 18 Jul 1998 00:10:14 -0500 From: "Mark Oldfield" Subject: Minneapolis Set-list/Mini-review Just got back from the Minneapolis show - awesome! Set list: Precious Things Spark Cornflake Girl Sugar iieee Playboy Mommy Crucify Marianne (solo) Upside Down (solo) Doughnut Song Cruel Liquid Diamonds Waitress Encore 1: God Raspberry Swirl Encore 2: Landslide Show lasted 1 hour and 45 minutes. Impossible to pick a favorite moment but Sugar was a great surprise. iieee took on a whole new meaning as she clutched her tummy during 'sacrifice', quite emotional. Before the two solos she mentioned she needed a lip-gloss boost and a girl next to me threw hers up on the stage. Tori said that it was the same kind she uses and asked her if she wanted to trade and threw hers back in exchange. Asked her if she had any cold sores but that she needn't worry, Tori keeps all her diseases under her clothing! She dedicated Marianne to someone special in the audience. Oh yes, Lawrence Welk bubbles during Liquid Diamonds (is this new?). Joel, who was to the side of the stage was cracking up as were the band members watching the bubbles burst all over the place. The sound could have been better, wish the piano was mixed more up front, she was drowned out a little too often imo. The audience was incredible except for two very odd fellows who sat next to us and never clapped once! Weirdness. We had originally front row, but found out they filled the orchestra pit with chairs so we were really 4th row. After the Devlins finished a security person asked if we'd like to move up a row and be dead center - we accepted of course! All-in-all a great time. - - Mark O. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 18 Jul 1998 00:45:22 -0500 From: roller girl Subject: 7/17/98 hi everyone, tonight's set list was: Precious Things Spark Cornflake Girl Sugar Iieee Playboy Mommy Crucify Marianne* Upside Down* Doughnut Song Cruel Liquid diamonds (with bubbles!!!) Waitress encore1 God Raspberry Swirl encore2 Landslide THis show was amazing. The best one I've seen yet! I got there around 1:30 today and we actually got to talk to Mark Hawley, who was sitting outside at a folding table munching on some lunch. He was a really neat guy, and his accent was so fitting. I felt like a dork, but I had gone up to him and asked him if he was Mark, and then he said, "yes, and who might you be?" and it was just so neat to discuss how hot minnesota can be ;) (ok, ok, the whole conversation lasted about 10 mins) Meet and Greet - around 4:30 - tons of people there, more than the Davenport show (last time i saw tori), i didn't get to talk to her, but i saw her and it was good, i'll scan pics after tomorrow. the show was amazing! i think my new favorite with the live band is Sugar... and crucify was just as wonderful. I tried to smuggle my recorder in there once more and the silly Asia security people got me, but i went back and got it from the coat check thing-a-ma-bob and was able to get the worst recording i have done so far. its so brassy and just terrible. (so if anyone has a copy, i will do anything to get one!) before marianne, she swapped lip gloss with some lucky girl in the first row, and then said that someone asked her to play this (marianne) and so. as for talking otherwise, she merely mentioned that she wasn't the free show in town ;) during waitress she did the "hang ten honey, i'm gonna get me one of those, hang ten honey, i'm gonna go where she goes" and god with "you dropped a bible on me jesus" anyways, must catch a few hours a sleep! seee you all tomorrow in Ames!!@&*(#$ (: .ally. ps: i'm going to try to get that show as well, adjust my recording settings and also put my recorder in a tampon box or something, that way i dont have to run around. (or back to the car, etc) we nego t iate with c h a o s for some sense of satisfaction ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 18 Jul 1998 02:13:12 EDT From: HyJptrCrsh@aol.com Subject: 2 in one there is 2 articles, i think you got the one on top.. i typed them myself, so thats why there are typos Tori Wings Out Amos has the voice of a 'choirgirl' I have a pretty low tolerance for new age mystic babble, but I love talking to Tori Amos. The fiery red-haired singer-songwriter is an odd combination of gonzo punk and flighty faerie princess. Wind her up and she's off like a run away train. Hang on if you dare. "See what I mean?" she'll ask periodically. No, Tori, often I do not. But I get almost as big a kick out of listening to you talk as I do listening to your forth Atlantic album "from the choirgirl hotel" Your music has a visceral rock power that most of Lilith Fair lacks. Where does that come from? Tori: "Its hard for me to define it. I think that what interests me is not why are we warring, but how did we get here? How did we get to the point where we are not speaking anymore? In a relationship with somebody -- it doesn't even have to be about treaties. "If you are going to tell a story, you have to grow into the head of the rapist, as well as the raped. Thats always been my fascination: knowing the characters. Characters are rich. Even when they are one dimensional, they're so stangly devoid of richness that thier role is really important, because sometimes thats the person you run into. "They're like the gatekeeper. You might have someone really sensitive and groovy inside, but you run into the gatekeeper first. It might be a band of gypsies, and the person inside might really want to talk to gypsies, but the gatekeeper just says 'They're smelly, forget it.' So just because you've got some ding-bell gatekeeper-- which is like 50 percent of the plant -- people just keep missing the moment where, 'God, it didn't have to end up in revolution!' If somebody would have kept letting Marie Antoinette have her hair done for another week! Things that could have been avoided, that is always my fascination. Of course there's an intensity there! Like Anne Boleyn, there was a choice there, but she wasn't going to dishoner her her belief system. "It always fascinates me how people make thier choices. You see what I mean?" Um, er, ah ... nope! But I am looking forward to hearing you reinvent your older "just a girl and her piano" material for this new rhythm-driven band. "Freom the choirgirl hotel" was cut live in the studio with drummer Matt Chamberlin, a former Smashing Pumpkin. Watching Amos play solo acoustic version of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit," I always thought i saw the spunk and soul of a rocker. So I ask: Are you trying to smash genre boundaries for women artists? Seems to me you could just as easily play the Empty Bottle, Metal Fest or Lollapalooza. Are you still trying to break out of that little boxlike trap on the cover of your first album? Tori:What's really fun right now is that i know i have a career whether or not radio comes to the party or not. It means if I make music and stay true -- whatever that means to the people that listen to my music, its kind of like our own private joke -- but if I keep questioning there is going to be a group of people who at least will check it out. "Maybe its part of my [preacher's daugher] upbringing, but I really am on a quest to get down to the bottom of an argument. Sometimes I'm sitting there with a girlfriend going, 'That fingernail just went completely through my ovaries! And what did I say to make that happen?' "I was talking to someone earlier about wars, and why wars are so distracting. Right now I'm [on the phone] in Ireland, and if a bunch of these people came running over the hill with muskets and guns and cannons and stuff, everybody in this house is going to get along real quick! See what I mean? But its when you're not distracted with all that stuff, which is so distracting, you sit there and go 'Ouch!' at the dinner table. "Sometimes I don't realize I've stirred up this hornet's nest back in the village just because of my attitude. They dont realize I'm super-shy and that take it as arrogance. Getting down to 'Where is the wire going? What's the end of it? Where is the plug? Where's the circuitry to this?' "I think thats what fascinates me with the live show. just stirring things up in people." You go girl! I haven't the foggiest idea exactly where you're going. But I'm with ya all the way. - -- Jim DeRogatis July 17, Chicago Suntimes Tales of life's struggles strike a powerfuk nerve with Tori Amos fans "Everything You Wanted To Know But Were Afraid To Ask" could be the title of Tori Amos' life story. Suffering through fudamental Christian upbringing, a rape, a miscarriage and time spent in an LA hair band Y Kant Tori Read, Amos and her music have been an open book. Alternatives rocks own Yanni, Amos' piano confessions have hit a collective nerve among fans. Sunday, the 34 year old UK resident is at the Rosemont Horizon, enjoying her first ever arena tour to support her album "from the choirgirl hotel" (Atlantic) Q: Do you think an artist has to suffer for thier art? A: The truth is every human has to have a depth of experience to get wisdom. There is not a lot of 21-year-olds with wisdom. There are some because some have had more experiences. But if you haven't looked inside your heart, you don't necessarily know what you're made of unless you have been tested. Q: Being so open with the press and your public, do you think that takes away from your music? A: I think it does. It's like 'oh, her again' I think most people don't know I can be real fun margarita buddy but it just doesnt come across (laughs) Q: Is there a time when you feel 'oh, i dont want to share that'? A: Well, sure. I think I write about stuff that interests me. A lot of what interests me is kind of dynamic of whats going on either between two people, not everybody wants everybody to see but whats really going on and thats always fascinating. But sometimes I think if you're not into what you're doing, you probably wont be into what I am doing. Q: So one is intergral with the other? A: I like to think sometimes you can sing along with it, but if I'm doing my job correctly, hopefully it is going to make you think certain things. And I've found that some people don't want that out of music, and I've had to respect and understand that some people really, really want to be entertained. But you see, thats entertaining to me -- the hidden dynamic I've found is a barrel of laughs -- especailly at the Christmas Dinner. - --- Mark Guarino ------------------------------ End of precious-things-digest V3 #257 *************************************
