The guests that get a whole episode tend to be big ( Mel Gibson in the recent season premiere). However, Ani Difranco did do a voice on King of the Hill. I imagine if Tori ever was on Simpsons it'd be similar to Ani's appearance, she'd voice a character similar to herself, but not herself, since Tori really isn't big enough. It would be nice if she guested as someone, maybe a music teacher for Lisa, and they jammed together in the end. But really, I doubt this will ever happen. However, if we bombard them with enough mail, maybe itll be mentioned in a magazine or something and that could help. Would Tori even do it? - -nick ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 6 Apr 2000 12:49:45 +0100 (BST) From: =?iso-8859-1?q?Copper=20to=20Steel?= Subject: Re: Beenie Hello! Just thought I'd add a little more info: > Beene, also known as Nancy Shanks, seems to be a > friend of Tori's > from way back. She's thanked on the credits of all > the albums, She's not thanked on the credits for Under the Pink. "Bells for Her" was said to be written for her, so I think she and Tori had had some sort of fall out. Not sure, but I've always wondered why this was so. "Raspberry Swirl" is also supposed to be written about her. Her name is mentioned in a couple of songs: "Jackie's Strength" ('sleepovers, Beene's got some pot') and in the bridge of "Father Lucifer" ('Beenie lost the sunset but that's OK'). > and > sang backing > on "Little Earthquakes" (the song). She also sang backing vocals on "Crucify" (and on "Precious Things" and "Girl". I think :o)). She sang backing vocals on "In the Springtime of His Voodoo".

I was actually wondering if Tori has a lot of problems with her wrists, and how she deals with them? I don't like to think of her in pain, but I'm sure now a lot of us pianists can look at her and say, "Well, she has a cyst, she is human after all..." ;) ;) Take care fellow faeries... :::backrow buddha::: christina - ----- Original Message ----- From: Ken Tough To: Sent: Wednesday, April 05, 2000 8:32 AM Subject: Re: Beenie > > From: NETG0DESS@aol.com > > >Hello everyone, I was listening to my Toriboot of Storyteller's for > >the gazillionth time, and when she started to talking about her > >best freind beenie whom she adores...
