Date: Mon, 05 Oct 1998 13:54:23 GMT I'm so happy right now, because I just ordered my tickets for the Madison show. Tori has eluded me for four years, I've tried before to get to see her concerts, and get a glimpse of the enigma that I'd been spending so much time and money over, loving and cherishing, who always still was beyond my reach. The time has come. I hope it's worth everything, I already know it will be...just hope that I can get a ride there! (7-8 hour drive:)...anyway, I'll keep you posted... -Autumn ^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^ "At night,I think of my piano in it's ocean grave.

I think that she speaks and sings to so many different people on different levels, that everyone understands where she's coming from, it's just that the woman has the knack to put the music to it as well. I mean, when I got Little Earthquakes, it was due to a review I saw in the record store saying that it sounded like... Kate Bush. I had been in England 6 months earlier, and saw the Winter video, and that happened to be the time "Stay" by Shakespeare's Sister (remember that song?) was out, plus I was half awake when it was on, and on top of that some really good memories as well. But when I wound up picking up LE, I thought it was going to be some nice piano music, and I had a bit of a road trip to make late at night. I was kind of thrown off guard, though. It wasn't so nice. Some of it was funny, some of it sad, some of it shocking, but damn, it was compelling!!! And usually, I'm the kind of person that's changing the radio station every 5 seconds, or pulling tapes out. But I wound up listening to Little Earthquakes over, and over, and over.. got the videos and singles, etc... but didn't see her live until 2 years later. I didn't know what to expect of her live show, needless to say, 4 shows, and 3 tours later (I wish I could go to more, but...) she definitely has what it takes to play live...and I think some of the live versions were miles better than the studio versions.. but what surprised me was her sense of humor, (which can get pretty raunchy at times), which wasn't really on the CD's. As far as Hootie goes in beating Tori on the charts, more people like Hootie. A lot of people like bad dance music, too. But it's not like she's losing an audience at this point, she's pretty much has them until she retires. As far as fan worship goes, I think she's an awesome performer, but I don't know her. I've seen her, and that's fine. I think distancing the persona on stage, and the person you see on the street is kind of important, because, it can turn into a let down, esp if the artist is rude, (which I haven't seen her be, but others). I think that the biggest compliment that one can pay her, is taking something that inspired you from it, and do something , whether it be writing, joining a social group, a crisis center, playing music, whatever. But to be involved out there, I think, is the best thing one can do to pay their respect to their heroes. I just wanted to say that. Thanks. -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o [top] Date: Tue, 06 Oct 1998 07:14:19 -0700 From: The Volbrechts <volbrec@in-motion.net> To: rdtrn@torithoughts.org Subject: REMOVE PLEASE CANCEL AND REMOVE OUR NAME FROM YOUR MAILING LIST -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o [top] From: "Mlle.

BTW, there should be an accent on the "e" in yage, but my keyboard don't do that fancy shite ;) Yage (Ayahuasca, Caapi) Yage [pronounced yah-HAY] is a strong psychedelic drink make from a woody vine of the Amazon forests. Indians pound up lengths of the vine with stones, then cook them in water for several hours, sometimes adding other plants to heighten the effect. They use the drink in all-night vision-seeking rituals with shamans or in large tribal ceremonies, such as coming-of-age rites for adolescent boys. The plant owes most of its activity to harmine, a drug rarely seen on the black market. Yage first causes intense vomiting and diarrhea, and then a more relaxed and dreamy state than that produced by LSD; it lasts from six to ten hours. Indians say the spirit of the vine enters their bodies and makes them see visions of jungles and jungle animals, especially jaguars. Also, the drug is supposed to enable them to see the future and communicate telepathically over great distances. Seeing visions on yage, as with other psychedelics, depends very much on set and setting. Curiously enough, the plant most commonly added to yage in making the drink is a leaf containing DMT. Indians say the addition makes for better and brighter visions. When scientists first learned of this practice, they dismissed it as useless on the grounds that DMT is destroyed in the stomach. Further research has now shown that harmine inactivates the enzyme that destroys DMT. Combined with yage, therefore, DMT becomes orally active, and in this form it is a longer acting, less intense drug that doesn't produce a rush. How did Indians discover this remarkable combination of plants? Anthropologists and botanists say they did so by trial and error. Given the number of plants in the Amazonian jungles, that would mean a great deal of trial and error. The Indians themselves say they were inspired by visions-- that the spirit of yage showed them the other leaves and the method of cooking the two together. so now you're probably asking yourself, "what is DMT"? here's some info on THAT... DMT stands for Dimethyltryptamine. DMT is the drug responsible for the hallucinogenic properties of several plants used by South American Indians. It is a simple chemical closely resembling certain hormones made in the brain, and it is likely that the brain also produces DMT itself. well, that's all for now. this book is FASCINATING. i'm so into andrew weil now! :) oh hey, i have to say i'm surprised at the minimal interest that i have received concerning the crucify uk limited edition box set that i'm selling! are you all sleeping, just not interested, or tripping out on some other mind-altering drug?! (for i think it would be rather difficult to find this ayahuasca stuff!) okay, now i'm really off........ this list rocks!

I feel this does not degrade women " Silly,I don't think you are old-fashioned for feeling this way!! As a soon to be 22-year old, I support feminism and apply it to my life. Women should take ownership of their life, love, and finances. To be so dependent that you can't survive without a man is like being a child without a parent. BUT, I adore my boyfriend being a gentleman. In no way does it "degrade" women. It's a form of politeness and respect. Would saying thank you or please be disrespectful? Bryan, you'll find a lot of women, both young and old out there who still value this treatment from "gentle' men. ;) <Before you all hit the reply button and send massive flames to destroy me, I don't think that all dependency is bad. To have a fair partnership with your sig. other, there has to be equal dependence...balance. :P> Redstamen wi/ your published article, you.(which i want to read soon!). "Oh and pot isn't physically addictive at all.... but i think it's missing the point and inflaming the situation further by prosecuting "harmless" drugs like pot. I'm not sure that there *are* harmless drugs out there. Any drug, even legal, can be deadly, when misused. Sometimes what begins as leisurely use develops into severe abuse, and like you said...usually indicates an emotional problem behind it. But pot is addictive, like cigarettes. Constant abuse of this stuff really fucks with your ability to think quickly. You know those silly public service announcements about pot with the kid who talks really really s-l-o-w ? That's what they really sound like (a couple of friends I had are proof)! It's not about prosecuting a harmless drug...it's about being cautious to whose hands they fall in and it's especially about fairly warning the underaged RDTRN'ers. Notice that any person wi/ an addictive personality can abuse anything -(ie: prostitution, drugs, alcholism, and gambling) And again depending on the user, pot is usually a prelude to "bigger and badder" drugs. I'm definitely not the speaker for Just Say No! ; Legalize it? Why not? People are gonna get their hands on it either way. Like Koba said...Bottom line is just becareful. No matter who agrees with how dangerous any drug can be, the key is moderation. Personally, pot is yucky to me. Smells good though...for some strange reason, it reminds me of cajun sausage. Mostly it makes me all dopey and sleepy. But sometimes it's fun to be all dopey at 4 am on a Saturday. I was confruzed by this.. April said..Dallas being a small town Surely not Dallas, Texas?! Heidi lamented.." they dont get it. they say im obsessed. they say "shes not god. god can heal you, not Tori" Obsession is a relative word. The fact that I'm subbed to a list in Tori's name...the fact that I sweated and suffocated out 1 1/2 hours to meet Tori while sardined packed among sweaty smelly EWFs...the fact that I have many many many Tori cds and singles... probably doesn't give me the right to talk about this...so slap me if you must. ;) But, your parents are ringing a bell when they say Tori is not god. Now, I don't know what higher being can heal you...I just know that *you* have the power to heal yourself, for whatever reason you need healing. Tori can't fix your problems, and in believing that she has the power to, well then again, you're placing faith in the myth of Tori. She translated her life stories into songs, just like some of us translate our stories into poetry. Tori is a performer above all else and is very good at what she does.I doubt that Tori chose herself to be a goddess for the angst-filled. If your life is going well b/c you overcame your dilemmas, then *you* did it...not Tori, not anyone else. You should be very very proud of yourself. *poke* Agent Orange (Very proud she stopped short of psycho-obsessive behavior by leaving the m&g, instead of sweating out 4 hours to seeing her highness, Tori.) *smirk* -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o [top] From: Lyn5606@aol.com Date: Mon, 5 Oct 1998 11:26:17 EDT To: rdtrn@torithoughts.org Subject: yeah!!

I was so excited when I found out, I had to refrain myself from screaming on the top of my lungs. It was a little past midnight, and my roommates were sleeping. On the 25th I am going to Providence to see Tori. Hopefully I will have enough money to get tickets to her show at the University of New Hampshire, and her show at the Tsongas arena in Lowell, MA where me graduation was held ) I am a moneyless college student, but I will do everything in my power to obtain the cash. My boyfriend's best friend works for Ticket master, so hopefully he can hook us up with some good seats. That would be really awesome. I really want this week to be over, so I can buy my tickets!! It is also a long weekend, which gives me even more of a reason to want the week to be over. I best be departing now to grab a quick bite before my next class. Love and Tori hugs---Lyn P.S.

Date: Mon, 5 Oct 1998 13:01:15 -0400 hi everyone in rdtrn land. If you don't like really boring, semi personal posts, maybe you should skip over this one. This is gonna be kinda awkward because I'm not really used to opening up 'round here. I dunno...I've been feeling kinda lonely lately - college. It's strange cuz all the girls in the hall like me...not to sound like I'm flattering myself but I think I'm only of the only ones who is compatible with all of the different cliques in the hall. But still, I think that I am one of the loneliest people here in Fairchild. I really really miss my friends from home...not just their presence but the way they understand me. The thing about me is, I'm really sarcastic and somewhat vulgar too...I'm the one who is always making these little comments that make everyone laugh. I think that because I'm like this so often, they don't think that I am ever serious...it seems that they don't think that sometimes I want someone to listen to me or to give me a random Toriesque hug every once in a while. And I think that's where the loneliness is coming >from - I don't really have anyone to go to...at home, I could go to my friends or sometimes even my family. But here, I have no one except through the telephone and/ or computer and of course my Tori cds. I can never see myself opening up to any of the people here in the hall. They are all mostly interested in getting drunk and talking about bois...and that's okay, but seriously that's ALL they talk about! They are skared of my hall director cuz she's a lesbian and they regret the fact that they live in an all female dorm cuz it's nicknamed "the dike dorm." Here's an example of a conversation I had with a girl here: ~setting: my room, Tori posters galore~ Her: Tori Amos has the best hair. Me: Are you serious or are you being sarcastic? Her: I'm being sarcastic!! oh, ok, we all know how concerned Tori is with how she looks...sorry she's not Kate Moss. One girl was making fun of me for OBSESSING over the fact that Tori is coming here to little ole UNH...she was really going deep, mocking how I'm skipping a class to get tix and stuff. So finally I broke and told her that she didn't understand cuz you have to have intelligence to understand Tori's music. Heehee, sounds harsh but it's all in good fun. So uh yeah, I guess that's all. Hmmmm, I guess this sorta sounds like I'm sitting here sulking in a dead-kitten fashion but it's really kinda fun...I'm just really craving a person who understands. :o) Megan - who is looking forward to 3 more Tori shows...Providence, Poughkeepsie & dadadadaUNH!!!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Megan* megan6@sprynet.com http://members.tripod.com/~URAwinner/ Russian Gymn - #1!!!!!!

April Date: Mon, 05 Oct 1998 12:00:43 PDT Dear April, I understand you feel strongly about the topic of FtCgH debuting and peeking at only 5. Yet please, must we drag other artists besides Hootie Blows Fish into this. Namely, (V)arilyn (V)anson. I mean seriously, calling them Marilyn Moron was uncalled for. Also everyone (or most people) know that Brian (Marilyn), what a cutie :o), is not gay. If you insist upon the fact that he is not straight, then lean towards bisexual. This is because, and even I will admit it, his dick has been in more than a few guys mouths. Oh and by the way don't send me any hate mail people. If I had a problem with gay or bisexual people I would probably have no friends(75% of my friends bisexual). I don't know why this fact holds true, but it has been to my surprise that most "Freaks" (for lack of a better word) are. Anyway, what I am basically saying is yes, you are entitled to your own opinion but if you are going to make a random statement about an artist, try to explain yourself, and why you feel this way so maybe others will understand your point of view. Obviously, I do not because Marilyn Manson is one of my favorite bands alongside of KORN and Snot, but beneath Tori.

I know what you mean...sort of. My parent don't know much of Tori... purposely. My dad is priest (just like someone else we all know) and I have tried very hard to keep songs like God, Father Lucifer, Muhammad my Friend, etc, out of his ear-shot. I have no clue what he would say if he heard them. He has heard other Tori songs, and says he kinda likes her music, but I don't think he's ever actually listened carefully to lyrics. Anyway, the other day I was watching Roseanne and my dad walked in right when she was talking about drugs and the song Father Lucifer. He said, "Well rachel, she's full of shit." I just said "no she's not" and dropped it. I would love to have a long in depth discussion about Tori with anyone BUT my father. He is one of those people that believes he is right all the time (although he would deny that). He is close-minded, and conservative and if I talked to him about Tori I think I would just get upset and he would think she was a flake. I don't know what he would say if I told him her ideas about organized religion. I, personally, think she makes a lot of sense, and I think if people carefully listened to what she says, she isn't really being blasphemous at all. So what if she says she gave God a blow-job. Does that make her scum to the people that show up at church on Sunday soaking in the sunshine then return to work on Monday the same back-stabbing, neighbour hating people they were before? You see, Tori does something that 90% of the world doesn't do today...think. She thinks carefully about things after she has carefully observed all the evidence and then says what she has to say. Period. Yet, she gets spit on because what she has to say is not what "they" want to hear. Well, tough shit. Some of us would like to hear some original thoughts for a change.

Agent Orange wrote me and said; >So if you're still interested and have some free time, I"d >love to copy you on some of my ramblings. > That would be soooo cool.

I know that there >must be some fans out there with understanding hearts! > Well my heart is just as big as anyone else's out there, but even bigger for a fellow EWF. Yup I do have More Pink and I do have a MiniDisc recorder, even have optical - digital cable thingy so it would be a digital recording. If you wanna e-mail me some info, I'm sure we could work something out. Btw (geez I say that a lot) is there anyone else out there with a minidisc with digital recording from cd. Wanna chat to mabey do some trades. Hmmm..huh...wanna. And I can't seem to find it right now, but a fellow Canadian (How ya doin' eh?) wrote something about being a Canadian and a Tori fan. Well hey how about a Cape Bretoner, well a transplant at least, and being a Tori fan. This person also said that Canada does not have a piano goddess. Have you heard of Chantal Kreviazuk. Like Tori, she too is a child prodogy(sp), and is very talented. I realy love her disc, Under these Rocks and Stones. She does a cover of "Leaving on a Jet Plane' on the Armageddon soundtrack. Anyone else a fan? Speaking of other female artists, has anyone checked out Natilie Imbruglia's Left of the Middle cd. Very good, but I think I've heard it before. Mabey it should have been called' Jagged Little ......... Plecebo' It's just too similar in production, fell, vocals, hmmm, but I still like it. Speaking of Alanis (I seem to do that a lot too, everyone still on track), her new disc should be out next month, can't wait. I'm still waiting to fing the JS single here in Canada, I hate to admit that something that The Dent reported was wrong. I'm also waiting for my sister in New Zealand to find the RS single. I hope it was released there too. Well gang, I guess that will be all for now. I know that as soon as I hit send, I'll realize that there was something else I wanted to say, oh well. Take care everyone Mabey it's time to wave good bye, now. Time to wave good bye...now Fairy hugs and kisses, Darrin -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o [top] Date: Mon, 05 Oct 1998 20:44:47 -0400 To: rdtrn@torithoughts.org From: Beth Coulter <betheqt@voicenet.com> Subject: From someone a few bricks short Cc: karl1111@netcarrier.com For your edification and amusement, I forward to you The 39 ways to call someone stupid. >1.

Hi once again! Ok guys, I know a few other people have been asking this question, but so far I haven't read any answers... What's up with all this "Meet and Greet" stuff... I'm planning on going to the Baltimore Arena concert, and the University of Delaware concert... but like many others, I am very much a tori concert virgin :-) Just buying the tics last Friday got me all excited, and just imagining seeing the person I spent the last three years of my life listening to is going to blow me away. So, you can just think what knot formed in my stomach when I read about a meet and greet in one of the previous RDTRights... I would really appreciate you Veterans out there giving me some advice on this... I would die if I missed the oppurtunity to actually meet Tori... please post your answers or e-mail me personally! Much Thanx and Love to all! Jen P.S- Anyone out there planning to go to these concerts or live around this area? -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o [top] Date: Mon, 5 Oct 1998 22:30:48 -0700 (PDT) From: jess <toriness@yahoo.com> Subject: Att: Australians - copies of More Pink To: rdtrn@torithoughts.org Hey there EWF downunder, You may be interested to know that at Gaslight Records in Bourke St in Melbourne have several (like, about 5) copies of Under the Pink/More Pink for $75 (Australian)!!! AND also some concert fliers from way back (I'm not sure what tour, I didn't buy one) for $15. Thanks heaps to Helen the Spacedog for taking me there!!!! Hi Hel!! I _think_ Gaslight MIGHT be on the WWW so you don't actually have to live in Melbourne to purchase. YAY!!! :) I'm so happy!

Is it just me, or is it Stupid Subbers season again? This seems to happen every six months or so; with at least every second digest containing the following Really Deep Thought: "PLs REmoooove me fRom This List st0p s3nding it to Me" (or something along those lines). Can't these people unsub themselves? Christ, don't people like Violet have *better* things to do than to change nappies (er... diapers. Love these cultural differences :) ). What else has happened in the Wonderful World of Dani? Umm... a very quick weekend drive up to Noosa (yay!), which was made better by the fact that Pauline Hanson (read: very dumb politican from our very own Redneck State of Queensland) was voted out of the House of Reps. Me, political? hogwash! Sorry to bother all of you with this, but it appears that Australia is heading towards their very own GST. At least we finally get a referendum to vote on the Republic next year. Now... if only Tori could tour.... Okay... on to the topic of music: Jorge wrote (quoting someone else): >>How is it >>that that band that consists of three phony white jewish boys who act >>black have a new album that's been in the top five for lke 9 weeks >>now?Mind boggling...... >yeah....mind-boggling that you won't give props to three guys who not only >have created some of the best hip-hop ever written, but 1) are extremely >talented musicians in their own right, 2) have destroyed stereotypes and >crossed musical boundaries like no one else in music (rap being played on >album rock radio? live instrumental tracks? who else?) Woohoo! I'm glad I'm not the only one who loves the Beastie Boys. For all their posturing, they're actually quite talented. At least they've come a long way from once performing with large penises on stage :). Every now and again, I go through a phase of "uh... no thanks for me" when it comes to their music, but occasionally, I'll just pull out one of their CDs and just think "they rock." And the fact that the local radio station loves playing them all the time. I've vowed to get _Hello Nasty_ soon ($ situation notwithstanding). Damnit. Okay, so I've had my renewed interest in rap. Public Enemy are touring Australia at the moment, and even though I didn't get to see them live (okay, so I'm not a music festival kiddie like I once was), they did an interview with Chuck D on aforementioned radio station yesterday. DAMN that guy is cool. As soon as I got home, I put my PE CDs back in the car, if only to torture my poor boyfriend. :) In small Tori-related news, for those regulars to the TALD, you might want to know that Dan and I are 90% through adding quotes and lyrics, so go back for another look-see (at http://www.aone.net.au/evos/dan/tori/tald.html) Take care, kiddies. Be good to your budgies, and eat your vegetables. Dani (who hates vegies herself. Pasta for everyone, thankyouverymuch). PS. musical recommendation of the week (piggybacking on Jo): damnit, buy PJ Harvey. I think I've already worn the CD to death in my car.
