MTV online chat Session Start: Tue Apr 09 19:39:19 1996 Now talking in #MTVarena Tori: People
when they ask me, why didn’t I make God a woman and I go like I made the
Catholic Church too? I find that sometimes when I’m singing about religious
mythology, people are getting their own opinions in there instead of what
really happened like in The Crusades anything that wasn’t Christian being tortured
particularly the Cathares I was in a place called San Galgano - it’s truly
endless the control and domination that the institution wielded the burning of
the witches over a period of years mostly women and when I wrote Muhammed My
Friend, it was mostly about having a cup of tea with Muhammed and talking about
the circumcision of the female part of God in every religion. Even Greek mythology,
Zeus was the big bad dude. Everyone was fragmented. Athena, separated from her
sexuality but had her wisdom. Aphrodite who had her sexuality in truth did not
have many other aspects, like wisdom, which was acknowledged. Question: Let me start by saying
I just got to see your sound check and a couple of songs you did for some lucky
radio winners I was really moved by your version of The Springtime of Voodoo it
was all engrossing and strong and I love it. I want to say I’m really
excited to hear all the new songs from the album tonight. Are you very excited
to be here in the states again? Tori: Every
night I try and take the songs as they’re coming to me. They seem to be
shifting and changing with the tour because if you’re a classical piece you’re
practicing and performing a piece until it’s exactly what the music says. If
you’ve been around my family after church and had to sit for those Sunday
dinners and inanimate objects like the piano becomes the most exciting
everything to you. Session Close: Tue Apr 09 19:51:54 1996 |
