I believe it was the season following the release of the soundtrack and the Blue Skies single.

She'd been at a party and taken a dangerous combination of things. By all accounts (and I know a good half-dozen people who went to junior high with Maryanne and Tori-- that's not bragging; it has nothing to do with me, it's just a result of geography) she was an amazing, beautiful person. People who knew her back then strongly and fondly remember Maryanne to this day, even if they never heard of Tori's song about her. >> Wow. What were the drugs? did she have any motive to kill herself that was known to others? - -AJ ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Feb 2001 18:31:43 -0000 From: "Tom xxxxx" Subject: Re: precious-things-digest V6 #36 Hi folks. The last digest left me with two questions: Is there a boot available of the Unplugged show? and what exactly is End Sessions? I appreciate any info you throw my way. I've really enjoyed the lyrics interpretations and the favorite line threads. In that vein, I'd like to put forth a little idea I've had about "Suede." In that song, Tori says "mass, so big it could swallow, swallow her whole star intact." That made me really think about what she is trying to say about this person. At one show on the Venus tour she mentioned that she was reading astronomy books when writing the songs. So, I thought what has a mass so big it can swallow a star? A black hole. I think Tori is trying to say the person Suede is about is a black hole, they just suck you in and you can't get out, you're trapped. I'm not sure how this fits the rest of the song, but maybe some of you have an idea. Has Tori said anything else about this song? I think it is one of the most mysterious songs she's done. Anyway, gotta get back to work. fair winds and blue skies, Tom _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 24 Feb 2001 17:05:32 -0500 From: Giovanni Mantilla Subject: Hello again guys Hi everybody, This is Giovanni Mantilla, I don't know if you remember me or not, I left the list about 7 months ago (perhaps 8) 'coz I had won an scholarship for a summer course in Germany and ended up staying 'til December! Well, I'm back in my dear country, Colombia. It's really nice to be back and read messages written by people I regard so highly such as /nad, woj. or Richard Handal. :) My life has been going pretty well, everything went fantastically in Europe, I not only visited Germany but almost every country in Western Europe, and met lots and lots of amazing people. I have returned with an improved german and a shitty english. Hehe. Whatever. It's funny 'coz I've been trying to catch up with last month's posts and reading all those collecting-related thingies brings back so many nice memories about my recent past! Let me explain: not too long ago I was an obsessed Tori collector... and even though I spent most of my stay in Europe looking for Tori goodies (only to be deceived, England was my last hope, but I didn't find anything there, at least in the oh-so-cold Birmingham) I feel like my obsession has somehow died down in the past few months. I did find a few things in Germany: a couple of bootlegs (Tori Amos Live In New York (UTP tour), another one I'd never seen called "Silent All These Years" (which is not even listed in the Collectibles book), I Can't Tori Read (german YKTR boot)), plus the GOT80's misprint, Blue Skies (blue one), Raspberry Swirl (I think it's the recalled UK version, but how can I know for sure?) and a few interview discs. Has anyone noticed how it's virtually impossible to find a Tori 7" in Germany? No store there has any, not even the best ones in Berlin! Grrrr. And add Austria to that as well. I managed to find a couple of Kate Bush rarities and became a Kate Bush freak in the process (I did find and passed up on the Babooshka Russian blue flexidisk, it was 30UKP). The newest rarities I have I bought through EIL.com and that was back in September. Hehe. But I feel like something's changed in me. I don't feel nearly as compelled as I felt before into buying Tori stuff. eBay used to be my start page and I would spend hours and hours surfing through the net, trying to find that rare Tori deal that would satisfy my appetite! But now I don't even check my EIL update files! What has happened to me? hehe. I'm feeling all worried. I haven't been listening to Tori as much either, even though she's still what she was before: a path to my own self. I guess I'm making a big fuss of something that's not really important at all, but it's just weird to see how much you can change within months. Does anyone know where I can find the Crucify UK live Box? It's the only thing I'm missing that I actually consider important. Hehe. I guess if you've read all the way 'til here you've realized that I'm still the freak I used to be... only a bit less obsessed. I'm buying clothes now. But I want to be obssesed again! Hehe. It's just so exciting! Tori, release that feakin' new album of yours soon and let the paraphernalia begin again! It feels good to be back. Love, Giovanni PS. Did anyone watch the Grammies? Colombia's own SHAKIRA won the damn thing!!! My country is so happy it's silly! You should check her out, she's poppy but oh-so-good, and if you did see her, nevermind the dress she was wearing! She was looking gorge but I can see where the "slutty" comments come from! PPS. Another exciting thing I had the chance of doing was meeting Suzanne Vega after her concert at the World Expo in Hannover. She gave an outstanding 1-hour long show and was nice enough to come out for autographs and pix! That was COOL! The closest I've been to american showbiz! - ----------------------------------------------------- Click here for Free Video!! http://www.gohip.com/free_video/ ------------------------------ End of precious-things-digest V6 #37 ************************************
