This is something I've posted before, and will undoubtedly post again in a few months as new folks come on. A girl in Singapore named Neshah sent me an interview in mid-March of last year which deals with this question. I asked her for the name and date of the publication but she never gave me an answer. All she told me was "This is an interview Tori had with a local journalist here in Singapore." It's obviously from 1996, but that's all I can tell you. I: Why name your tour "Dew Drop Inn"? Isn't it a line from one of your songs? Tori: It's originally a name for some very old jazz clubs. Do you know the show "The Waltons"? I: Yes. It's that old TV series from the 70s.

I have never been into lyrics. Honestly, I cannot understand them. I did not do well in college when we were discussing poetry. I remember many times when the professor would say: "Mr. Miele, when Ovid refers to the subject's 'dainty foot,' what exactly is he getting at?" My answer was always something like: "Ovid was refering to his own insecurity, his inability to come to terms with his feelings of inadequacy and worthlessness." In reality I hadn't a clue what Ovid was trying to say. My professor knew that and withheld that "A" that I worked so hard for. So why do I love Tori and her music so much? I admire her as a musician. If I did not understand english I would love her just the same. When I listen to music I hear the vocals as just another instrument. As a musician myself, I hear the strength and the emotion in her voice. I can pick up the subtle mood swings in her vocals and I can hear parts of songs where I can tell that she is smiling when she is singing. Her stage persona is beautiful. There is something about the way Tori "makes love to the music" that touches me. Technically her music is wonderful. She is a schooled musician and it shows. "Spark" is an example of brilliant songwriting. "Purple People" and "Voodoo" and "Winter" also receive honorable mention. So while her lyrics confuse me, it hardly matters. Tori's music is good music. My .02 Peace, Love, and Tori, Joe ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Aug 1998 11:16:39 -0700 From: DragonGrrl Subject: Tori x11amp skins Hi...

I think she may have thought about it, as she has obviously looked at a large amount of mythology and religion. However I believe that *if* she was pagan, she probably be an eclectic witch drawing on things from many different spirtualities. I have a feeling the religion of wicca would be too structured (although that does depend on which wiccans you talk to - but that's an entirely different discussion (if anyone wants to continue mail me!)).

A rather rabid Toriphile {I believe she's up to 25 shows now, and plans to go to every one until Christmas} has been deadheading after Tori and doing this. IME... 1) It doesn't work that terribly well. Why? Because said fan numbers people, and then completely ignores her own system and pushes her way to the front of the line when Tori arrives. 2) If she doesn't arrive before most people, she doesn't bother. And, again, she ignores the first-come-first-served thing and pushes her way up front. *shrug* I was very disappointed in Atlanta. I was within the first 10 people at the meet'n'greet. I was there specifically to tell Tori how we'd done at the ToriCon auction for RAINN {hey, we raised a lot of money!}. Instead of being able to tell her, I was five rows of bodies back because this little fan and her friends {there are several of them} ran to the gates when Steve let us back there -- completely ignoring the first-come-first-served -and- my requests to at least let me up there so I could talk to Tori. I think it's incredibly selfish of fans who've met her -many- times {according to this chick, she's met her at all of the shows save two} to push their way to the front, completely ignoring those fans who only have that opportunity to meet Tori. Hey, darlin', I worked my butt off to send a pretty damned cool donation for RAINN -- you're just spending mommy's money galavanting around the country. Wow, that was a rant. Sorry, folks, but that really ticked me off. I took off from work {Y2K!} so I could get there early enough to ensure myself a chance to tell Tori about our auction, and I don't get to because of selfish fans who thought that they should get to meet her even though they weren't there as early as most of us and have met her several times before. :( /nad ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Aug 1998 12:53:06 -0500 From: "Douglas J.

Hi Naushin, I think I might be in the same situation as you, and I don't think that people *should* take pity on us. It is great to know that someone cares for us, like Richard does, but from there to saying that someone *should* be in pain for us, I think there's a huge gap. You *can* do something to change the situation you are at right now. Maybe you won't be able to see her during this tour, but how about the next one??... I missed the DDI and set to myself the goal of seeing Tori during this tour.. I do live at an underdeveloped country, I do earn a shitty salary and my job is not the greatest I can tall you that..., *but* i'll be making my dream of seeing Tori live come true, sometime during this year. Maybe it'll take more sacrifice on your part that it would take to some of the people that get to see Tori and don't really appreciate her and her music... but that's what makes us EWF instead of Tori "fans" :-) Sitting on the couch waiting for her to come to your country is not the thing to do, believe me, I know.. the closest she was to my couch during the DDI was Miami and that's 4500 miles away. >you cannot imagine what i go through every day while reading this >list. not to mention all the people that i know in the US that send me mail >telling me that they will be attending plugged on so and so dates. yes, >that's with an s, plural. for me the list has been the best thing that could happen to me, I was an isolated EWF until I found PT. In here people shared their experiences with me and that has been making my life richer. I haven't been reading every single message lately, but I really do enjoy other people's experiences at Tori concerts. some of these people that are attending concerts now and sharing their stories with you might be sitting by your side in a couple years; wouldn't it be awesome if you could share a Tori concert with them sometime? I can't wait to do that.. About the limitations of getting Cd's, I can completely relate to that too, *but* people on the list have helped me on that and I'm willing to help anyone on my situation. Send me your addy and we'll see how reliable your mail is.... maybe it is are reliable as the field hockey sticks your country makes :-) that if .pk stands for Pakistan. =) I might sound preachy-cheesy-whatever you want to call it.. if you want to say something about it, write to me in spanish and we'll see what you sound like ;-D >my point? just be thankful of what you have, because it's a bloody hell of a lot. >from my point of view of course :) no question about it :) there are lucky people in nature..and people that force luck towards them :-) and I've been in one hell of a struggle with luck... but hey, I'm winning :-) besos lauraguay \\|// (O-O) - ----------oOO--(_)--OOo------------------------------------------------- ldamico@adinet.com.uy (at home) laura@redfacil.com.uy (at work) http://www.geocities.com/hollywood/lot/3373/index.html ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Aug 1998 16:41:26 EDT From: Freque79@aol.com Subject: Re: BFP videos In a message dated 8/20/98 4:05:54 PM Central Daylight Time, pinion11@hotmail.com writes: > i am looking for a copy of the boys for pele videos, i will buy or > trade for it, please let me know if anyone has them I have a question...

I bought it two months ago(!) at a record fair in Amsterdam. For European viewers: it should be available at many record fairs, at least in Holland, but probably elsewhere as well. You may be able to order from Oliver Books directly.

For those who have the Tori Amos 1998 calendar (doesn't she looks just *erotic* this month?): the layout is pretty much the same, and the pictures are all pre-1996 as far as I can tell... (Including photographs used for Tea with the waitress front cover and the European CD-single sleeve for Cornflake Girl.)

Hi y'all This is my reply to Cindy's wonderful post (which is long but great but because it's long, I won't copy it down here) The things Cindy said are dead on for me. The reason I listen to Tori and to 75% of the other music I love are the lyrics. I am a poet and a writer and I feel that words are my friends. Therefore, the words of songs have to reach me for me to really love a song. In fact, I can put with some crappy music or a bad voice if the lyrics are good enough (case in point: I love Bob Dylan). Tori goes above and beyond the lyrics of most. Her lyrics are honest to the point of being indiscrete. To me, they often serve as catharsis. After getting out of a really horrible relationship, "Blood Roses" and "Doughnut Song" were as healing to me as aloe on a burn. Her music lets me ride through my emotional storms and come out of it OK (Marillion is great for this, too). Additionally, she turns some great phrases and paints marvelous images. And she can be funny, I mean "I don't need one of these to get inside you" is funny line and such a glib construction. Tori says some things that we'd love to say but never have (think Precious Things). So, hands down the lyrics are my major draw to Tori. The goregeous music and vocals are wonderful secondary reasons to listen. For those others of you out there who love good lyrics I recommend Marillion, Indigo Girls, Ferron, Joni Mitchell, and Stevie Nicks. Just my thoughts. blue skies and fair winds, Tom "Now I'm trying to get back to what I know that I should be, hoping to God that I was just a temporary absentee."

I totally agree. I think Tori being the free-spirit that she is would find Wicca or almost any religion to be confining, not fitting exactly how she sees the world. She's never said she was a Wiccan or really anything else. And a belief in faeries does not necessarily a Wiccan make. In the Middle Ages, the Christian church was very accepting of faeries regarding them as the spirits of unbaptized children or minor demons or some other things that I've forgotten. So, belief in faeries is not indicative of one's religion. I am Wiccan and am not sure where I stand on the faeries question. Are there natural spirits, definitely. But faeries, I'm not sure. Of course, I could be splitting hairs with the terms. >Needless to say, if she had lived (for indeed she might have) in the 16th >Century she would have been deemed a witch nonetheless. I remember in the >interview "Attila the Honey" she says that she would like to have her body >disposed of "burned, definately burned like the witches". >Could she be acknowledging (at least subconsiously) a previous life??? I'm not sure but I think Tori's even said she believes she was burned as a witch in a previous life. Does anyone know anything more about this? In both "Thoughts" and "God" she uses that image, so it obviously has some meaning to her. With that, I leave you with my Borneo and blessed be!
