Later With Jools Holland May 22, 1998 I have a full report on Tori's appearance on the TV show "Later with Jools Holland" in the U.K. on May 22, 1998. You can read a full transcript of what Tori said and see photos from the show. There is also a truly wonderful RealAudio interview at the Jools Holland web site. I don't think this interview had anything to do with the show itself. It last 5 minutes and Tori talks almost exclusively about the Internet. Tori talks very favorably about the net, which shows that she does understand the good side to the net as well as the bad. She even expresses the opinion that the net will one day make music critics obsolete! At one point Tori says in the interview, "One of the guys who runs one of the big sites has been really respectful, and if he's heard something he'll double check it before he just goes and puts something out." I can't help but wonder what web site she might be referring to. It would be cool if she were talking about the Dent. but I have no way of knowing that. IF YOU DO ANYTHING TODAY, LISTEN TO THIS GREAT INTERVIEW! Thank you Matt for finding this. |

Modern Rock Live May 10, 1998 On Sunday night, May 10, 1998, Tori was the featured guest on the U.S. syndicated radio program Modern Rock Live. Tori talked with the host and answered questions from callers. They also played several songs from her new album. I hope to have a complete transcript for this appearance one day. If anyone already has one, send it my way! Julia posted to the Torinews mailing list that it was a really good interview. She talked about her first concert experience (which was Elton John), whether she'd be working on anything with Maynard from Tool (she said she got him hooked on red wine and that they were gonna go out drinking together sometime soon), the Seinfeld season finale and loads of other stuff. They also played Spark, Playboy Mommy, Black-Dove (January), Northern Lad, She's Your Cocaine, a live version of Tear In Your Hand from the Apr. 30th Chicago show and Jackie's Strength. Here is one part of the transcript when Tori is talking about She's Your Cocaine Thsi was posted to the Precious-Things mailing list by BlueGirl88:"It's about umm me being really strappy and umm vile because somebody uh finds a woman that's a black hole that isn't a woman's woman interesting.....You know a lot of guys and alot of them are on my crew they're like my brothers and umm it blows me away sometimes the women they're attracted to....Let's be
honest here....The women they're attracted to right me & Beenie (sp?) who's my
bestfriend & Karen & ? we would NEVER like even if they were crawling we
wouldn't give them the worm at the end of the tequilla bottle...FORGET IT!
They could beg, crawl dog on your knees hopefully lick the sand they wouldn't
get a chance. These women....Let me tell you something about these
women...They have this little thing.....This little beard between their legs
and they're snake....They're reptillian.....I don't want to hurt the poor
snake life even.....You know it's a cut to the snake world....But these
girls.....They're takers....And guys don't see it because they don't sit
there......They do their killing.....Say we're eating dinner right and one of
these girls is at the table and there's a big party of us......Some of these
guys are going 'Isn't she the sweetest thing you've ever seen?" and you're
going she just murdered the girl next to you, the girl you brought is like a
walking corpse because of this other girl...Like Max the interviewer jumps in : But it's on both sides smart women foolish men,
smart women foolish choices......
Tori again: "No no no sorry Max I hate to burst your bubble but men are
obvious. I don't know men that they can't canive the same way. Let me tell you
what the difference is. These women try to get in and act like they're your
friend. They act like they're your bestfriend. And so they find out all your
secrets, they find out everything and then they go to your man or to your
other friends and just completely ruin your relationships with them....I'm
telling you they are Lucifer. Lucifer with boobs...." |

MTV: "True Life: Who Is Jesse Camp?" May 5, 1998
They showed clips of various "Jesse moments" and one of them was with Tori Amos when they sang "Dream On" together. The regular VJ (Carson, who interviewed Tori on MTV Live on April 24th) said something like it was a moment HE could never have had with Tori. They showed the duet and he said it was
totally impromptu or something. In the clip you can see the VJ trying to get their attention to no avail.
Then it showed Jesse alone (they interspersed the cliips with him
talking) and Jesse said, "I fell IN LOVE with Tori Amos. Our eyes connected, our souls
connected, wowee wow wow wow man, that's the stuff that Papa likes!" |
Radio Interview On The End (Seattle) May 3, 1998 Tori was interviewed via phone by The End, a radio station in Seattle, WA, on May 3, 1998. Tori was in Seattle that day to perform in concert during the Sneak Preview Plugged '98 tour. Trent Mathias reports: They just interviewed Tori on THE END, a radio station here in Seattle. She was suppose to be in the studio and play a song, but she called in and said that she got food poisoning and had to go to the hospital. Tori said she had returned from the hospital but didn't think it was a good idea to come into the studio. So they played a live track from Chicogo instead, TEAR IN MY HAND. Tori talked about her and Johnny (the tour manager) hearing a ghost the last time she played The Moore Theater, where she is playing tonight. She also talked about her beginnings, the new album and when asked about about her mariage, she said that they were keeping it private. They played a couple of songs off the new album and then they said that the phone call was cut short and she didn't call back. |
The O-Zone (U.K.) May 3, 1998
Tori appeared on the U.K. TV show O-Zone on Sunday, May 3, 1998 on BBC 2. This was NOT be a repeat of the Great Expectations item O-Zone showed back on April 14, 1998. Toriphile Angela gave me information about Tori's appearance: I was lucky enough to catch Tori this morning on "The O-Zone", in which she spoke for about five minutes on such topics as:
Toriphile Christi adds: It was very very nice to actually see Tori and hear her speak after two relatively silent years. She looked different - more pensive, more quiet and "to herself". But that is just speculation, I don't pretent to really know her very well. They showed the video from Spark, and let Tori talk about it, and about her new album. She stood outside, somewhere in London maybe, and talked about (of course) the miscarriage, and about how Spark is about wondering where the soul she was carrying went to after she left her. I have to say that I didn't hear her say anything I did not already know from the Dent. But still, it was nice to see her talk. And I liked the video. All in all I think the Tori-part of the O-zone didn't take longer that 5-10 minutes. |
