Comments about “yes, said”

From Richard Handal

Jason has wonderful instincts and knowledge about the music, and he’s put together an exceptional magazine called ‘yes, said’ which uses a lot of quotes from Tori herself about the music and the topics covered in it, which he combines with transcriptions that he does of some of her lyric improvs from the stage, quotes from her published interviews, and some fabulous, previously-unpublished color photos of Tori. He’s already done three issues of it that I’ve seen and I can’t say enough good stuff about it. Tori’s personality and soul really come through in his publication. He never gets in the way of that.

It’s amazing what he’s been able to do, and I whole-heartedly recommend that anyone looking to subscribe to a quarterly about Tori check it out. Major kudos to him.

Other new publications might be worthy, but this one has Jason’s personal vision and unique energy behind it, and as it’s been published for several months already I’ve been able to see printed copies of it. Every one of them moved me deeply when I got it in the mail. To me, that’s what it’s all about.

Be seeing you,

Richard Handal, H.G.
