Just to clarify, these are other comments they've made for each other through the years: Tori Amos: The trio thing [Q Magazine] was 1994. it was just a magical day. I really like those two. I had met Bjork before, 10 years ago. I have huge respect for her and for Polly. I haven't seen them in while, but messages get passed back and forth. We're always in a different part of the world. Once the camera was gone, we began to see what each other was about, and in a very brief amount of time we built up a huge amount of trust." Tori Amos (on Pi Harvey): We’ve run across each other many times over the years, we share the same agent. I haven’t seen her recently. You become a mom, you get involved in your life, and she’s involved in her life, and you keep missing each other, from town to town and city to city but there’s always been goodwill on both sides on both sides of that fence. I think that because we’ve both been creating for a long time and do very different kind of work. There’s always been a feeling of ‘wow, that’s another bird flying in the distance, doing beautifully." Tori Amos: I'll tell you now that there has not been one woman from a band that's turned up at my gigs. Polly Harvey and Bjork are the only women I know in the music business. I know hundreds of men in bands. And not just because they wanna get with me. There just ain't that kind of supportiveness among women in rock." Bjork: "When we meet that connection is still there; We tell each other what we're going through and understand in the way that no one else can. We're in the same jobs, seeing through the bullshit to how you can really feel - but we're also very different. Tori is magical and euphoric, while Polly has a more earthy quality" Bjork: "This might sound really arrogant, I don’t know, but when it comes to people who make music, I’m not very interested in most cases. That doesn’t mean I think they’re bad, they just don’t do anything for me. But I could tell very quickly when I heard Polly’s album and Tori’s album that I’d like them. Bjork: "I talk to Polly more, probably because she lives in England. We don't see each other regularly, I wouldn't say we're friends exactly. But we all definitely give each other mutual support. We have similar jobs. Tori is magical, euphoric and it's enjoyable to be around her. Polly has more of an earthy quality. She's so truthful and has so much integrity." PJ Harvey: (after saying she is interested in reuniting with them) I think of them very highly, both of them. PJ Harvey: For a while Bjork and I kept in touch. I do think of them as my friends. [Q Magazine]: Have you ever felt in competition with each other? Bjork: No way. PJ: No. Tori: Never.

It wasn't the people who weren't ready for it, it wasn't a nation of sexist evil men, just like it with female rockers the decade before, it was that the labels being behind the times.

Tori has covered both PJ and Bjork tho

I don't think it is about Tori believing in sorority or not, i think she's more traumatized by the experience because her PJ and björk were the alt-goddesses of the 1990s, but she was the only one who did not survive the 2000s and 2010s.

Bjork and Harvey were British acts, so it didn't affect them as much, also Europe it's kinder with women when they're aging, Kylie Minogue it's still banging there, as Madonna when she hit 50 oh well, the fall from grace had started.

Or got married and have a child?
@grigorismath385211 ай бұрын
I understand what you mean but I think it shouldn't be a crime if an artist that has undoubtedly had a good career and left behind a legacy decides to not keep pushing. It seems to me that Tori, even tho she still loves to write songs and play shows, is not driven by ambition anymore and she mostly keeps her work to her community of followers. And that is ok imo. A couple of months ago, I was at her concert and I have to tell you that the venue was packed and when she stepped on stage, everyone stood and the amount of genuine love with which she was greeted was something extraordinary. To sell out big theatres and be so adored 30 years into a career is sth that not a lot of artists can flex... Now artistically speaking, I agree the decade post-Scarlet was her lowest point. That said, I feel like this last decade she has rebooted her career very gracefully with embracing some more ambitious classical music projects with Deutsche Gramophone etc. Her last album Ocean to Ocean was particularly elegant, beautiful melodies and stunning instrumentations.
@SuperPhunThyme1009 ай бұрын
Here's the deal, none of these artists have anything left to prove. In fact, Little Earthquakes on its own, if that was the only thing Tori ever put out, that would have been fine. That album is a beyond words masterpiece. It's up there with Kate Bush's Hounds of Love, Björk's Vespertine, and Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill. It's a stroke of musical genius, and not one of those albums I've listed are necessarily better than the other, but they are all absolutely brilliant in their own way.

She's absolutely not wrong, because in the 90's music was for the most part made for men. Think about it, the 90's. What does that mean? That means EVERYONE with power in the music industry and worldwide was born in the 60's or before. NOT exactly the most modern mindset for women was shared then. Even in the 90's women were still breaking from expectation. The industry catered toward men mostly BECAUSE . . . . MEN were the breadwinners. So if a woman was going to see a band or concert? She was probably seeing what her boyfriend or husband or father wanted to see. THAT was their bullshit mindset. and if a woman HAD a job she must be spending it on clothes or her kids or whatever. That was genuinely what thoughts they had. They treated it like women couldn't have appreciation for music on that level. It was dumb. There was also a lot of homophobia going on. If you were a man and said your favorite rock band was HEART you'd not be taken seriously. Because a WOMAN singer? A FEMALE band? Why aren't you listening to men's bands? It was a ridiculous mindset they had that took decades to break in the industry. SOME parts of the industry are STILL like that. WAY more male rappers are signed than female. Also wtf does it mean that " Men have a wider spread musical output than women " ? Women have brought SO much to country, pop, rock, hiphop, blues, soul and rap. I'd say women honestly OWN Pop, soul and R&B in all honesty. and of today's bands? Find a male fronted band who is half as talented as Florence + the Machine that is out and about and being talked about right now? There isn't one.

I don’t want to dog pile so I want to make clear that you’re kind of right. Doing three intensive low pay jobs that are physically and mentally taxing while trying to raise multiple kids all on your own? Realistically it probably is more difficult than a lot of what Tori Amos was doing, even before she was successful. But, I think that doesn’t matter so much as the context. It’s an interview about her career as a musician and the comments about her ‘working her ass off’ came right after they discussed how all the men had it a lot easier. Using the context, the two of them are talking about her struggles in comparison to her male contemporaries and not to the general workforce. TL;DR While you may be technically correct, your points aren’t as relevant as they might initially seem.

You think musicians don't have normal jobs while they're trying to make a living off of music? Kurt Cobain and Trent Reznor were both janitors. Tori probably did do some waitressing and stuff. They also have to clean their homes and shit when they get back from practice. The Beatles in their salad days played all night long in Hamburg and then retired to bunkbeds in a windowless room with no bathroom and ate what they could when they could get it, you think that's not as tiring as being a waitress. I'm from a working class background, and my parents were also musicians, in fact, they did some of the same jobs the you mentioned, waitressing and construction work, and I think it's a kind of reverse elitism, that being an artist is not 'real' work. You don't come off morally superior shitting on other people's labor because it's different from yours, belittling the things you cannot do, does it make you feel better?

@@moonlily1 You mean when kurt cobain was young or tori was young, single without kids, they did janitor and waitress jobs and then went back home and swept the floor and di the washing up ? And you call that hard ?!! On what planet do you live ? Any student on the planet with proper parents, does that. And the beatles when they were young, unmarried and without kids played music (their passion) in venues at night ? Damn someone gives them an award for being so tough ! Do you have any clue what hard work means ? Try to wake up at 4 every day fix breakfast for your kid(s) clean the house, do the ironing, prepare the kids lunchbox, do the laundry, hang the laundry, wake the kids up, feed them, wash them dress them, bring them to school or to the bus to go to school, then go to work in a factory, then quit work, pick up the kids, buy the food, take the kids home, pick up the laundry, fold it, help the kids with homework, start dinner, clear up after you have all eaten, cleanup the kitchen, vacuum or swept the house, clean the bathroom and the toilet, wash the kids, put them to bed, and get ready for your second job, or start doing your budget to make sure you can pay the rent and the bills and keep on feeding the kids this month so you don't end up on the street or have your kids taken away from you. Live in constant fear of never making ends meet, live in stress, not have a second to take care of yourself because your family depends on you, not even being allowed to get sick because you're on a budget and if you miss work, you won't be able to feed your kids and yourself or keep your roof. And you think that playing music all night or being a single childless adult working as a janitor and waitress is comparable ? Who are you, gwyneth paltrow ?!

Amos has to be one of THE most overrated artists ever. She shouldn’t be even mentioned in the same breath as the other two.
@grigorismath38522 жыл бұрын
Overrated? She's literally a beast of a musician, probably one of the most skilled pianists in pop history. Plus, there are songs of hers that are mind-bogglingly complex and intricate as compositions, structures and performances. Puh-lease
