Hey Guys, I saw and recorded the VH1's Greatest Women Of Rock & Roll with Tori. It was pretty kool, not very long but still Tori! If any of you are wondering she is in the #81 to #61 part of the special( I think those are the right numbers) Anyway she's # 71. I also saw Sarah and Courtney!!!

Fischer" Subject: images from Tori's studio If you click on Tori's name at the bottom of the main Alanis&Tori page you get to the part of the website with a pink background. Then if you click on the images/scrapbbok link you will get to see 5 photos of Tori and all the members of the band at the studio. There is a cute picture of Tori all snuggled up with her stuffed animal friends. I assume these photos are fairly recent, and it shows some of the sound engineers and programmers too. You can also see Tori's chef. Karin ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Jul 1999 00:46:56 EDT From: SpArRk658@aol.com Subject: Re: Before It's Time? I may be wrong here, this is just my personal opinion. But I believe that with many song writers,especially Tori, the songs don't really have a "time" when they should come out. Writing is a form of expression and I think that any time that you can is the right time to express yourself. I've written very similar poems, stories,etc. at completely different periods in my life. Although Tori's albums tend to have a very distinct sound to the songs, almost like a certain thread that is followed throughout the album, I believe that the sound has been inside her all the time and just comes out whenever it is appropriate. There is a time when the sound or song should come, it just may not be all at the same time. I don't know. I'm just extremely tired and finding it very difficult to get this to come out the way that I want it to. Does anyone know what I'm saying here?

This is kind of a personal observation but I've pondered about it for a while and was curious to know what you guys thought. I am enthralled by "Ode to the Banana King (Part One)" Everytime I listen to it it reminds me more and more of Boys for Pele. Does anybody else think that Ode came before it's time? The lyrics I can't make anything out of...I feel the song more than I understand it, which, for me, most of Pele's songs are like that. If this makes any sense it also sounds a lot like something that would have been on Pele. It's a relatively dark song that has multi-meanings behind it (again that's a more personal thing). "Violent and Delicious..." What better words describe Pele? Another song that really mystifies me is "Hungarian Wedding Song". I don't know much about it. Does anybody know if Tori has said anything about it or what the thought behind it was? I'd be very interested in any information anyone has to offer....:-) Thanks for reading!!

Tori was on VH1's Top 100 Women of Rock last night. At about 10:30 PM, her segment was on. It went by so fast that it took me a minute or so to realize it was something i hadn't seen before. But, i do remember a clip of Talula, and Janis Ian saying that Tori did very unusual things with the piano or something like that, and then a clip of Tori playing Raspberry Swirl from Storytellers. I know there was more, but like i said, this is all i can remember... hopefully they will play it again. They announce what number they are up to before the show starts i think, and isn't Tori # 71 ? So when they are showing, say, numbers 75 to 50 or whatever it is, it's a good time to tune in. I really liked that they had other women rockers commenting on, and complimenting, the featured women. How supportive ! Yeh !! On another note... had to mention, E!'s True Hollywood Story is on right now, and it's about PeeWee Herman/Paul Reubens. I dunno, i find it funny. So he was wanking in a XXX movie theater ? (So what ?) I am the first to be against sex offenders and so on. But, it's not like he was at a showing of Steel Magnolias or Bambi. Maybe i'm ignorant (never been in one) but, isn't that kinda what XXX theaters are *for* ? Oh well, I'm just glad his show is back on TV now. I remember when his toys were pulled from store shelves, and his show taken off the air. Weird. And his 'comeback' appearance at the MTV awards, where his first comment was: "Heard any good jokes lately ?" :o) Ya gotta love 'im.

Anyone who missed it before can catch it again then. :) Violet xoxox ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Jul 1999 22:00:27 EDT From: ToridRoses@aol.com Subject: Re: Before It's Time? Hello Micheal!! Actually, Ode to the Banana King (Part 1) did, as you suspected, come before its time. Tori wrote it around the time she wrote the songs on Under the Pink. Part 2 of Ode to the Banana King is pretty Good year, with the connection and correlation being Lucy: Ode to the Banana King (Part 1): "Lucy serves the melon cold...." Pretty Good Year (Part 2): "Lucy was pretty, your best friend agreed....." Hope that helped!!!

What's going on with me? Hello There, Hey, I entered that sweepstake doode at mp3.com a few days ago and someone emailed me back and said that I won front row tickets to any tori/alanis date on the tour. I have been asking around like crazy, wondering if it's a valid thing. I just have this creeping feeling that I am being screwed with you know? Oh geeze, I'm so weird. But anyway, if this is all really happening, woo hoo! But there is a chance I won't be able to go to wherever, if I don't have the means, seeing how I live so far away from all of the venues. So I'm thinking I will get one of the Los Angeles dates and if I can't go, I'll sell them and either use the money to see Tori in Austin or Dallas or donate it to RAINN. So what do you guys think? You can personally email me for the sakes of not boring others with my confusion. Thanks. Take care. Bi bis.
