        I have that CD-EP, and within a week of getting it, I lent it to a 
dj on the local rock/alternative station CHEZ. They had been playing 
"Silent...", and he mixed the CD-EP of that with the covers...great half 
hour set! The Nirvana cover is excellent...she plays it at the same speed a 
Nirvana, but at a slower tempo...really weird! "Angie" really makes one 
wonder about her gender preferences, as I have said before...but "Thank You 
had me in tears the first time I heard it for the sheer beauty of it.

 

        I saw Tori on Letterman...and my first impression was..."I wonder 
how many copies of Kate's LIVE AT THE HAMMERSMITH she has worn out". <g>

 

        There is an interesting add campain here in Canada (which, I guess 
would work as well in England)....It is a picture of Tori on one side, and a 
drawing of the Prime Minister of Canada, Lie'n Brian Mulroney. In the middle 
of the two is the text "FINALLY, A TORI YOU CAN TRUST"

 

        For those of you who don't know much about Canadian or British 
politics, a "Tory" is a member of the Progressive [sic] Conservative Party 
or the Conservatives in Canada and England respectively...and our (Canada's) 
PM is a Tory...
