Tori Amos talks Madonna, dirty song lyrics, and more

There's a new interview with Tori Amos on Out.com and it's one of her most revealing (and non bullshit) interviews in years.

She talks about her new album, Abnormally Attracted To Sin, dangerous sexuality, why you should never suck up to Madonna and this funny little bit about her (secretly) dirty song lyrics:

Finally, I have to ask you this because it’s been killing me for the past five years. On the song “A Sorta Fairytale” [from the album Scarlet’s Walk] you sing about “pulling back the hood.” Are you talking about the hood I think you’re talking about?
[Huge smile] Oh, I want you to think whatever you want to think.

[Laughs] That is not an answer!
I want you to take it there! I want you to take it there!

Because then when you sing about “tasting heaven perfectly”--
And my mom thinks it’s talking about a convertible! And you know what? Let’s just let her think that.

The interview is long but DEFINITELY worth the read.
