I am so thankful that Bill brings these jewels from Tori Amos' catalogue to us. I could never wade through all of the... less than stellar... material she has put out to find them! Thank you, Bill.  |

A Celebrity Oil Wrestling match, you mean.... Tori is great. I think she's one of those female musicians you aither like or dislike, akin to Joni Mitchell. To compare her to that talentless hack Alannis is unfair to both. |

I like that she's addicted to nicotine patches; I know that sounds weird, but there is something that makes the song's protagonist more accessible in that statement. . .

Liked the pre-Choirgirl Tori more, personally, but this is one of the tracks that seems a 'throwback' to that time from this album.

Number me among the Tori haters...but she probably does deserve time on RP judging by all the listeners who love her. (A rare moment of grace from an angry old man. Now back to my rat-catching.) Actually though...I like the cover art for reasons which should be obvious. Did anyone get the number of that steamroller? I wanted to thank them. |
