Well, let me tell you something about America
.
I love Tori Amos, and I can say that without being hypocritical. I loved her before I knew who she was. I was surfing channels and there was one of her concerts on, so I left it there. And I cried. When she sang "Me and a Gun" I cried hard, and I hadn't even heard the lyrics. (I cried, and I realize now that it was a couple of years before life happened). The whole place was dead silent in awe and respect, and when she finished everyone burst out shouting "I love you Tori!!" and that's how I knew it was her. Surreal. (and FOB never play "I've Got a Dark Alley and a Bad Idea..." 'cuz it's OMGSUPERSACRED*G* *snort* There you go Pete Wentz. I'd never really thought about it.) Also: her daughter's middle name is Lórien!!! She is part Cherokee!! She got married at a medieval castle in Britain!! And she has the most incredibly interesting websites dedicated to her (yessaid.com? AWESOME). And RAINN. And "Put your weed and your skateboard down for five minutes and read." He.
Anyways, her talking about her inner struggle between the artist and the producer? And the digital music industry (read ''bitching about iTunes')? And, Well, I can't be held hostage as an artist to the fact that [some people don't] have the cash [to buy the album]? Awesome. I don't consider myself a musician, not even an artist; a writer, reluctantly, in the best of cases. But I found this fascinating. And I have to say: I would totally buy "A Piano". If anything, because it means something. Like Ears with Feet.
Of course, MSN's Alan Light (and his editor!) managed to piss me off with his remark about her comment on Charles Dickens, which, obviously, missed the entire point. Idiots.
I realize I talk a lot about my endless unconditional love for many women. He. I find it funny that I can be so vocal about it, but when it comes to men I can't. I don't have it in me. Not because I'm not infinitely attracted to men, but because I think I feel I would be treating them like a piece of meat? That's sort of weird. And I don't feel that way when talking about women because, well, I'm one of them. It's like African-Americans and the 'N' word. I think there was a Boston Public episode on that.
