Chatter: Tori Amos

Out: Finally, I have to ask you this because it’s been killing me for the
past five years. On the song “A Sorta Fairytale” [from the album Scarlet’s Walk] you sing about “pulling back the hood.” Are you talking about the hood I think you’re talking about?
Tori Amos: [Huge smile] Oh, I want you to think whatever you want to think.

[Laughs] That is not an answer!
I want you to take it there! I want you to take it there!

Because then when you sing about “tasting heaven perfectly”--
And my mom thinks it’s talking about a convertible! And you know what? Let’s just let her think that.
