what about this Jules, seems like she should have made that list

My wife has never played Tori Amos but I also cannot say we've ever had a discussion about her either, so I can't be 100%. But I feel pretty sure Tori Amos is not on the list.

You could always bring it up casually. Like, February 1st is the 28th anniversary of Tori's second album, Under the Pink, which features the hit single Cornflake Girls.

"Cornflake Girl," a #4 hit in the UK, was inspired by Possessing The Secret Of Joy, a novel by Alice Walker about that explores the horrific practice of female genital mutilation in some African regions.  Pretty heavy subject matter for a commercial pop hit. But Amos makes the concept relatable by focusing on the element of betrayal - how an unsuspecting young woman would be led into the procedure by a trusted but ultimately duplicitous female.

"We had a term for those people, those girls that would turn on you, that wouldn't be there for you, that would maybe expose something you trusted them with, and really let you down - a complete wreckage. So those girls were called Cornflake Girls," the singer told NME."

So, honey, what do you think about Tori Amos?

I’ll ask.

I would steer clear…brings the psycho out of women…

I have touched base with the Misses:

[li]She confirmed that she does not care for Tori Amos[/li]
[li]She would have no interest in seeing her in concert[/li]
[li]Cornflake Girl was "kinda a big thing" when she was in High School[/li]
[li]She "would not turn [that song] off if it came on the radio"[/li]
[li]When asked if she could name a second Tori Amos song she said "the piano one."[/li]
[li]When asked if she liked this unknown second Tori Amos song she replied "no, it was whiny."[/li]
[li]When she asked why I am asking and I explained, she said "tell the guy whose sister had the boat hello."[/li]

I had two girlfriends who were huge Tori fans. One of them even convinced me to see her live at the 9:30 Club. Of course, this was 25 years ago.

Just saw a memory on FB of the boat on it's way to the DR 2 years ago!

They play them a lot on Sirius the Spectrum. Honestly they might be the dullest band I have ever heard

I pointed out it was Joe Manchin's yacht AT THE TIME, which definitely confirms the phatness of the three of you's collective smoking.

If the universe wants to do me a favor to make up for letting my wife become aware of that Jack Johnson MPP concert, it could really avoid letting her know about this.

Aaron Frazer is opening the Jack Johnson show. I'd pay $15 day of show pricing to see him open.

at the time, the only thing that Joe was know for is not being Robert Byrd, not the most important Joe in the us government
