Tori Upside Down

[gb10@gte.com (Gregory Bossert)]

this footah has greatly enjoyed the reports from our Australian
'hounds of Tori Amos' tour...  Graham's story takes the cake -- ya
know, when we talked to her at the Iron Horse here in MA USA, i really
thought that here was a person with whom i would like to sit and hold
a conversation -- something true of KaTe, of course, but not all that
many other artists in the limelight...

Mik asks:
>One thing is curious, does she always sit sort of half sideways on the
>piano stool?  Looks a tad provocative.

no, sometimes she sits fully sideways on the piano stool and
*grinds*...  it isn't so much provocative as devastating in person,
and i am convinced it is deliberately confrontational (and quite
effective when constrasted by the lyrics to "Crucify", say, or "SatY").
i can't help but think of KaTe in her Mrs. Peel body suit gunning her
dancers down in "JatCG" or, have mercy, the She-Ra outfit from the
Babooshka video...  mayhaps Tori will find other ways of driving her
point home as she develops as a performer; but given the utter
attention she commanded at the show i saw, i'd say she's got it down
pretty durn well...

footah!
