I ve always wonder about what if I meet Tori, back in the nineties. If I wasn't riddled drug addition and depression. If my life took a different turn musically. I remember seeing her picture on "under the pink" and listening to her music, and there was this thunder in my heart.

Thanks so much for sharing this! What an interesting interview!

[@OpheliaDarkling]

Love this era

[@wolfphile1]

Aww c'mon, guys. It's been 15 years since the volcano erupted and we were amazed seeing that. Now just appreciate the landscape it created.

I find English and European interviews more eclectic, deep and less interested in sensationalism as American interviews

@dudecosta That's it. Everyone changes, shows different sides. Why can't she?

[@MrJuancarlosferrero]

amazing to see how she used to... be alive.

[@sawyereason9032]

Yeah, just because someone is a feminist doesn't mean they can't decide to change their own appearance. Commenting on Tori's looks past/present/future is disrespectful. burp.

She is a weirdo, but most talented musicians are.....

[@tashaschneider1419]

In which she admits that evil spirits write these horrible songs for her - she doesn't call them evil, of course. To Tori (an exploiter of children "Raspberry Swirl"), evil is good and good is evil. Mary Magdalene was a redeemed woman and a loyal disciple of Jesus Christ, and she was a respected evangelist. Tori hates Mary Magdalene's redemption and wishes to keep her forever an adulterous woman. I blame the heretical pastor Ed Amos for his evil daughter.

Children? What children listen to Tori Amos? Her music is adult contemporary. And most adults do not even comprehend her lyrics.

[@tashaschneider1419]

@@missesrobot8182 Referring to "Raspberry Swirl" video, in which Tori sings about oral sex in front of children, then laughs at them as they are turned into pigs. That video is nothing less than child abuse - like all witches, Tori seeks to tarnish the innocence of children.

[@missesrobot8182]

Oh. Well, I haven't seen that video, I've only listened to her albums and seen a few videos. I was a child myself in the 90s and never even heard of her back then. So that's why I felt unsure about what you were talking about, most kids aren't into these artsy fartsy popstars. I've also heard many other popstars say the song is written beforehand. How did you come to discover Tori Amos, is there anything else you find off about her? @@tashaschneider1419

[@tashaschneider1419]

@@missesrobot8182 My sister played all of her records when we were teenagers. She was careful about what she played in front of me, though. There are many things I dislike about Tori Amos, as a person and as an "artist". On a purely musical level, would say that she managed to make harpsichords sound ugly and I hate her misuse of that beatiful instrument, perfected in it's use by Bach, Scarlatti and Couperin.

@@tashaschneider1419 uh, that song is about feeling protective of her female friends who've been mistreated by men they've dated, and she didn't direct the video - the person who did was loosely inspired by Alice in Wonderland, to my understanding. Taking Tori's art literally is a very dead-end street. It is full of metaphor, nuance, and sometimes her own personal references we can never understand.
