Please keep the family of Tom Hurndall in your thoughts
Posted Thu, Jan 15, 2004 - 6:21pm ET | Toriphiles
This comes from Toriphile Kush Varia:
I was wondering if you would kindly place a message on The Dent asking People to keep the family of Tom Hurndall in their thoughts. Tom was shot by an Israeli soldier while protecting two children in Palestine who were being fired upon. Tom had been in a coma since and died yesterday. I know this is a issue very close to some EWF I know and that Tori's Seaside was also written about the Palestinian conflict. I want to do something to help and at the moment the best thing I can do is to tell people of the incident and ask them to pray/keep Tomm's family in their thoughts. An article about this can be found at the BBC web site.

Watch a Tori interview and her performance of 'Silent All These Years' from Sessions @ AOL
Posted Thu, Jan 15, 2004 - 10:40am ET | Music
On November 3, 2003, Tori taped a performance in a London studio for America Online's Sessions @ AOL series. If I am not mistaken, this performance was or maybe can still be watched in its entirety by anyone who is an AOL Broadband customer. However, an interview from the taping, as well as her performance of Silent All These Years, is available online for others to watch, even if they are not an AOL Broadband customer. Tori is dressed in one of her Tales Of A Librarian outfits for this performance. Click the link below to watch these videos. You can also find this on AOL. Go to Keyword MUSIC and then search for 'Tori Amos' in the search box. (If you are a Macintosh user however, you will not be allowed to watch this. I find exclusive Windows only content to be very frustrating and unnecessary...)
