      It's heartwrenchingly beautiful and very intense, and to me this *is*
the exact reason why I can't always listen to it. It's very deep and
emotional. Tori's 'Me And A Gun' has the same effect on me.
 

Then odsbodskin@aol.com (ODSbodskin) shuffled some up some more dirt on the
Kate/Tori-thing:

     There was definitely something precocious and magical about the young
Kate.. In one way, she seemed  so very childlike and innocent, maybe even
naieve, but her work showed a sense of maturity, creativity, insight and
genius way beyond her tender years.. 

    Actually, I was amazed the other day.. If you compare the TV footage
from the 'Multi-coloured Swap Shop' and the 'Music Box Interview' for
example, it's almost hard to believe it's the same woman.. Gosh..

     I disagree.. I love Tori on the 'LE'-video. Her honesty, her
kookiness.. I think she's wonderful.. And as for her being insane or not..
Well, to quote a sig, who stays sane in this world must be mad..

        Hmmm, now where did I leave my virtual blowtorch? :)


                 Later folks,
