While not exactly album-related, PopMatters’ Best (and Worst) in Show of 2007 included Tori twice. First, she’s at #5 on their Anti-Rock list:
Don’t interrupt Tori Amos when she’s playing. Security guards, fans, and even Miss Massachusetts were all addressed at various tour stops by La Amos from her perch onstage with phrases such as: “Get the fuck out of my show”; “you can sit down now”; “it’s a privilege to sit in the front row”; and, sometimes, just the simple, direct throwing of high heels.
Second, she’s #3 on the Hecklers and Other Interruptions list:
When Tori sang the lyric “virgins always get back stage” (from “Jackie’s Strength”) during a solo piano set, you could hear a pin drop in the theater. Except for the drunk woman in the front row who screamed back, “I’ll get back there!” Tori, with a look that could decimate, stopped mid-song and whispered, “You are not a fucking virgin,” into the mic.
