And that, of course, is only a partial list! Two things: "Hidden pizza discovery", I realized to my chagrin should actually be "hidden plate of spaghetti discovery". (The quote that's from is actually in the pool; do a search for "spaghetti" from the search page to see it.) And, I'd like to add "reverberant sadness" to the list. Or possibly "delicious sadness". Or maybe even "delicious reverberant sadness".

With your help we just crossed the 400 quote mark. Whoohoo! Here's a question though... One of the quotes is: "If I saw someone destroying a piano, I'd fucking murder them! I wouldn't think twice!" -- Tori Amos How does this fit with the photo of T standing near a blazing piano on page 127 of the Silent All These Years book? I don't think I've ever heard the story behind that shot. Is this a case of: the statement made in the picture (which, to be honest, escapes me) makes this piano destruction an exception to the rule?

BFP for example had the constant theme of Tori finding her own fire.. and SLG had the constant theme of seeing songs that were written by men from the POV of a woman, for example. LE, UTP, FTCH and TVAB, comparably, may have themes, but none of them are based around a constant theme like BFP and SLG are. Hope this helps (and I REALLY hope I'm accurate! o_O;;).

How does this fit with the photo of T standing near a blazing piano on page 127 of the Silent All These Years book?< I've heard her say in an interview that assembly-line manufactured pianos don't have souls like hand-made ones do.. if I recall correctly, someone had called her on the "I'd murder 'em!" bit about destroying pianos and yet she was seen destroying some pianos here and there, and so on, so she basically was like (major paraphrase..) "oh, those were made from the assembly line." and then she explained why Bosendorfers (as an example) are more like living creatures to her and so on. Sincerely, Cyndi S.

I wrote: Well it looks like you only get the Scarlet's Stories Cd if you buy the Scarlets Walk cd that ISNT the special edition one. At least, that is how the hmv.com descriptions go...becuase it only meantions the tori interview disk under the normal, non limited edition scarlets walk cd, and is the bonus people get with it. But like most promo items, it probably varies from store to store. I'll probably have to buy both the original disk, and the limited one to get the interview cd here, just coz it's a local record shop, so they probably only will get a few. who knows. Which irks me because as much as I love Tori, I don't need two copies of the exact same cd. That's as great an idea as putting 6 covers on the same exact book.
