I have a question about the source of one of Tori's quotes. I did try to find the answer on the web, but the server is busy every time. Correct me if I'm wrong, but one of the recent quotes on the list was, "What is an angel but a ghost in drag?". However, I came across this poem, which ends with that line: who are these shades we wait for and believe will come some evening in limousines from heaven? the rose though it knows is throatless and cannot say my mortal half laughs the code and the message are not the same. and what is an angel but a ghost in drag? Stan Rice >From "Of Heaven" Body Of Works (1983) I know Tori wouldn't steal someone else's line, so is it possible that the interviewer mistakingly attributed this quote to her (or am I completely wrong here)?

I would prefer trades, but selling is an option. The items are: * "Live X 3: RAINN Songs". The first track is Tori doing SATY. The other tracks, which are all from performances in Atlanta for 99X, include: Tracy Chapman, "Fast Car"; Melissa Etheridge, "I Want to Come Over"; Dave Matthews Band, "Satellite"; Joan Osborne, "Ladder"; Jewel, "You Were Meant for Me"; Bush, "Comedown"; Barenaked Ladies, "The Old Apartment". This was pressed in limited quantities, and was available only in metro Atlanta. CD, case, and artwork are in NM condition. $15 {which is exactly what I paid for it}. * "New Music from Tori Amos" promo from 1996, just before BfP came out. No new tracks. Has a picture of Tori I haven't seen elsewhere. Tracks are Cfg, God, SATY, Crucify, PT, China, MaaG, PtM, SLTS. CD, case, and artwork are in mint condition. $30 * "Tea with the Waitress" promo from 1994. This is a pretty rare item. The first half is an interview with Bob Waugh from WHFS. The second half is the same thing, except it's just Tori's answers -- it's so the local DJ can sound like s/he's interviewing Tori. Mint condition. $45. I'm specifically looking for the following Tori items: * UK China CD single * vinyl! I love vinyl, and would love to get anything that I don't have * Concert for RAINN promo * UtP pre-release cassette with different artwork * UK PtM ltd ed But I'm pretty open to anything I don't already have.

(soon) Hi.. After the concert in Knoxville Saturday, i talked to Jon Evans (Tori's bass player) and found out some interesting things... He told me that they were working on Talula and hoped to have it ready to play in Georgia.. and guess what... They did play it in Atlanta yesterday ! But that's not the amazing news...... He also said that they were working on.... HOTEL!!!!!!!!!!!! So i thought i'd share that news with you all.. since it was the most requested Tori song for this tour (that she hasn't done already). I asked what other songs they were working on and he replied, "there has to be SOME surprises" :) Jon was soooo nice, by the way. He said he started playing bass when he was 3 years old ! he's amazing. j'ason ~~ Toriphoria http://members.aol.com/Yessaid/Toriphoria.html ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Aug 1998 20:31:28 -0400 From: Mikewhy Subject: Problems With The Dent (news) Hello all! I just got back from a 5 day trip seeing Tori in 3 cities, and I am tired but very very happy because the trip went so well. I met Tori and know that she appreciates the Dent, and I am thrilled! What I am not thrilled about is the fact that my site has been inaccessible since late Sunday night and as of Tuesday evening was still down! The problem has to do with the entire aye.net web space, and was caused by a security breech that happened at aye.net on Sunday. As a result ALL web access from aye.net has been suspended until they make sure the security breech is fixed. They estimate that the site should be up again Wednesday morning, but you never know. The Dent is STILL very much around and I will be updating it again Wednesday. I just hope that aye.net gets their problems fixed. I know that many of you have been having problems accessing the site, and I am doing all I can to get it up again soon. I apologize for any inconvience the site being down has caused. I will be back really soon! :) Yours in Tori, Mikewhy - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael L.

Mainly they said that the JS enhanced cd WILL have the video, and a clip of Raspberry Swirl as well. i'm not exactly sure if they meant the vid for RS, but i sure hope so! They also said that our wishes on the Dent have been granted and she's taping a VH1 Storytellers show in October!!!!!! I can't wait! the Sarah Mclachlan version of that show was so beautiful! on the subject of the tori-radio airplay thing here, she gets hardly any where i am at (Grand Rapids, MI) but i really rather like it that way. she has a big following nonetheless. i think of her in sort of a weird way, but i almost feel like she's another sort of Grateful Dead performer, the type that never had any videos or airplay success but still managed to sell millions of records and concert tickets. it's a lot more exciting to say you saw, for example, the JS video, one of the only 5 times MTV played it than to say that you saw a Puff Daddy video that is played every 5 minutes on the channel. well, enough rambling from me. ta ta.

Ok, i'm a lurker, but i HAVE to reply :) I don't think getting more fans for Tori helps any of *US*. I don't think it really helps her either, but it SURE would help Atlantic records, and i really don't think they need any more excuses to mass market her to whoever will spend the money (ie: the choirgirl box set without a CD?) I think Tori gets the exposure through US, i sure as hell make all my friends listen to her, and a LOT of them end up becoming fans of hers. I would rather have people that appreciate her for her meaning and her intentions, than those that just want to be *hip* for the week. I don't think she belongs in mainstream music. I think mainstream music ends up being nothing more that ear candy (IMHO) and thats NOT what she's all about. Would i like to see her on MTV? No, i don't watch MTV :) So that doesn't really help >yet, so it's not like a hoard of 20,000 new toriphiles are going to buy Have you been to a show on the current tour? Yes, the 20,000 new toriphiles are there, and they can afford the shows, unlike some of the fans who love her for who she is, and not because she's the *angry grrrl of the week* >out our concerts...besides, tori deserves to have her voice heard. so if >anyone agrees with me and/or has mtv's addresses on hand, please email Yes, i agree as far as her voice being heard, but do you think forcing her into mainstream circulation helps that, or really just hinders it? just my .02 Phil ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Aug 1998 19:53:01 PDT From: "Kevin Myra" Subject: ** JACKIE DAY ** alright. earlier today i sent out a message to the precious things group, about how i'd like to give tori's music more attention. Ive gotten a fairly big response in the last 2 or 3 hours, and now would like to let everyone know about.....JACKIE DAY!! (if anyone has a better title, let me know) Here's some extremely tentative info WHAT: Jackie day, is going to be a big effort campaign to finnaly get tori on mtv's TOTAL REQUEST. We're going to get as many tori fans as we can to call in and email mtv in favor of the Jackie's strength video's being on Total Request. WHEN: Right now Jackie Day is shedualed for Friday, August 28 HOW YOU CAN HELP: i would deeply apreciate the following information and promotion. * the phone # for total request * any other info on total request (hours for calling, if there is a limit on how many votes you can cast, etc) * reminders of jackie day on your website, etc. * more newsgroups I could email about jackie day * anything I may have overlooked (ie. problem w/ the date) * ANY other ideas to better jackie day This whole letter is pretty much, all descisions were made only by myself and a few others, so please let me know if we should do anything else, or if i screwed something up. all opinions are appreciated!
