I noted there is no option to buy tickets as of yet. The Skinny Tori Amos first broke through to U.S. audiences in 1992, a wisp of red hair defiantly confronting demons and boyfriends. While the "Year of the Woman" hype that helped fuel her notoriety (and radio airplay) has died down, she continues to push both buttons and boundaries, fusing her piano-based songs with samples and drum loops, and writing increasingly unflinching lyrical self-portraits. Her September 2001 release, "Strange Little Girls," is an all-covers album focusing on the way men portray women in pop music. Eminem, Slayer and Depeche Mode are among the artists subject to her musical reinterpretation. The tour in support of "Strange Little Girls" marks Amos' first solo jaunt since 1994. The Crowd Devotees plinking an air piano while mouthing along with every word.

Of course we want to minimize disruption of service as much as possible, but some down time can't be avoided. Please bear with us. We expect the upgrade to be finished sometime this week.

What I meant is--we (the public) hadnt heard about them until now. We had just heard about the one horrible one that helped inspire Choirgirl. I just think compunding that awfulness by three must be very devastating. Holding death inside you is a terrifying concept, no matter how "common" it is. IMHO.

I really love those two. Someone gave me The Red Shoes, but then someone stole it . . ."
