I was thinking the other day that I don't ever recall(even though I havn't been on this list that long) anyone ever talking about the song "Humpty Dumpty." I don't know what it is about that song, but I must say that it is one of my favorite bee side. I just can't listen to that song enough. I was wondering if anyone else was really into this song like me. lotsofloveintori, Terry _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

I made my best friend a tape of Tori, but the only song that she really likes is Slient All These Years. And since i listen to tori so much, I got my girlfriend into her. But besides those 2 people, none of my other friends like her, most haven't heard of her, and the ones that have, well they saw the God video and now them seem to think that Tori is a freak, too bad they don't have any idea what they are missing.

I'm 25, and have been a fan since I was 17. At first, I got into Tori with a group of friends in my Freshman year. I transferred out of the country, and in Colombia, I didn't know anyone who knew who Tori Amos was..."Tori quien??" There have been some very sporadic mentions of Tori in the media here, and one or two songs on the radio (obviously not the mainstream stations.) I have seen Tori CD's one day, and not the next, so I've supposed someone else likes her too! The person I met who like tori, is now 18, and knows Tori through MTV...she had seen her videos...BFP era. She's not a toriphile nor an EWF, but is really into her videos. Last year, when I was teaching an intro. to technology course for art students, as an example of enhanced CD's I took in Fiona Apple's (can't-remember-the-title-right-now) CD...I talked some about Fiona, and mentioned I could never hear the whole CD at once, because it was too depressing. A student said, oh, but it can't be more depressing than tori amos. I freaked out, What? tori amos? you know her? and obviously a short discussion after class on why i didn't agree with her comment. She's also 18 now. Maybe those under 18 can help me out on this one...but do you think the reasons that lead us to loving and admiring tori depend on age? I think so...I have matured while being an EWF...and my reasons have changed...from melody, to lyrics, to videos, to meaning... Right now only one person in my close group of friends likes tori...because of me! I lent her LE...and now she's into UTP...guess what's next! It has been great, because she has had some changes in her personal life which have coincided with some songs...I knew when the time was right to give her UTP...not yet ready for BFP, but almost! besos largos, C. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Jun 1999 13:36:41 GMT From: Tha Shaigirl Subject: Young Fans? Well, just to add my two cents on the younger fan base discussion: I'm 19; will be 20 in November. I've been listening to Tori since LE, January'92 if I recall correctly. I was like, well 12. I have my older sister, who was 17 at the time, to thank for getting me into Tori. I have to admitt, at first, it was a sibling thing. She was five years older than me and I thought she was the coolest person on earth. I wanted to be "just like" my older sister. So what she listened to, I listened to. (That and the fact that whenever I went anywhere with her in her car, she had that damn tape playing!) So before long I knew all the words to LE. I soon found myself buying a copy and listening to it myself. I remember getting UTP & BFP before she did. I started collecting Tori CDs after BFP, which was about the time when I got a job and could afford investing in my CD collection. And at the age of 18, I finally got to goto my first Tori concert 10.31.98! My sister still likes Tori's music, but here I have gone from just listening to her to be "cool like my sister" to becoming a fan on my own. I don't know why I fell in love with Tori's music. I've never been through half the crap she sings about, but yet I can feel my own findings in her songs, from an emotional stand point, like the song "Liquid Diamonds". I'll hear something from her and it'll totally click with me, even though somebody else might look at that lyric in a different way. Which, I guess we all have different perceptions of what Tori is singing about. Anyways... I'm just thankful that my sister got me into Tori. I honestly don't remember growing up and seeing her on TV or hearing her on radio. I'm sure I would have found my way to her music sooner or later, probably with FTCGH, but I'm glad it was sooner than most! =) ~Shaigirl "I can be cruel I don't know why." -Tori Amos = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = shaigirl79@hotmail.com * AOL IM: shaigirl79 TRADES * http://glenmar.com/~mmb/booties.html _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

I'm 16, and a fan for almost two years now. In amoungst my friends, who i'm happy to say non of which are the hip-hop listening types, are not huge fans of Tori, but they've begun to appreciate and even grow a little fond of her. I'm getting there.. damn punk fans, it's quite the branch out musically, but give me time! ;) i kind of like it when people just don't get it though.. if it doesn't click, it just doesn't.
