What an outstanding interview - in depth, witty, and perceptive. Thanks Mr. Matt! Comment by Gary Sweetapple from Birmingham, Alabama — August 27, 2007 @ 7:24 am What creative questions to ask. It was great to read the answers… a little insight into the mind of a genius. Outstanding interview. Comment by Kay Charette from Algonac, MI — August 27, 2007 @ 8:33 am congrats Matt--this is probably the best interview I’ve read from this album! Comment by stever from MI — August 27, 2007 @ 3:32 pm — PopMatters sponsor —Thank you thank you thank you for a fantastic interview. As a die hard fan since Earthquakes, I always skip the introductory background info, but you actually said intelligent things that made me read every word. Great questions that made me think (and I’m sure made Tori think as well...something I’m sure she doesn’t have to do a lot with ho-hum interviews). Your interview rocks, and you can tell she enjoyed herself. Thank you again! =) Comment by ARaisinGrl2001 from Austin, TX — August 27, 2007 @ 6:44 pm Excellent work, Matt! I completely identify with your state of mind going into the interview but you carried it off splendidly! Comment by Christian John Wikane — August 28, 2007 @ 8:42 am Great job, Mattykins! I am so glad that an intelligent fan was finally able to interview her. There were a few questions I thought seemed obvious (maybe too obvious?) to ask that you didn’t and I think the style is a bit wordy for most readers (too many modifiers), but I love how casual and relaxed you seemed despite your admitted nervousness. I look forward to your coverage of the Toronto Film Festival! Comment by Robert Schrader from I'm trapped in this dialog box. Help! — August 28, 2007 @ 2:57 pm Wonderful, Matt! The article came out so well, and I was really looking forward to reading it! You’ve made me want to check out that MM movie, now! She really seemed to make me as a reader feel that very special things are coming for the US Tour! Comment by Erin O'Neill from NY — August 28, 2007 @ 10:49 pm — PopMatters sponsor —Related articles
Review: Tori Amos: American Doll PosseMatt Mazur30.Apr.07 American Doll Posse is a record that wants to know why we are at war, and what we are going to do to clean up our mess. ![Tori Amos: Fade to Red: Tori Amos Video Collection [DVD]](http://www.popmatters.com/images/dvd_art/a/amostori-fadetoreddvd.jpg)
Review: Tori Amos: Fade to Red: Tori Amos Video Collection [DVD]Michael Keefe24.Feb.06 In an era when entertainment was taking over as the principle medium for the communication of ideas, it would not be a stretch to say that Amos was among the leaders of the last (but presumably not final) wave of feminism. 
Review: Tori Amos: The BeekeeperSusan Glen17.Mar.05 The Beekeeper sounds like a collection of outtakes from a much better album. And there are few things more bittersweet than reflecting on what could have been.
