what about this Jules, seems like she should have made that list
My wife has never played Tori Amos but I also cannot say we've ever had a discussion about her either, so I can't be 100%. But I feel pretty sure Tori Amos is not on the list.
best not to bring it up then
You could always bring it up casually. Like, February 1st is the 28th anniversary of Tori's second album, Under the Pink, which features the hit single Cornflake Girls.
"Cornflake Girl," a #4 hit in the UK, was inspired by Possessing The Secret Of Joy, a novel by Alice Walker about that explores the horrific practice of female genital mutilation in some African regions. Pretty heavy subject matter for a commercial pop hit. But Amos makes the concept relatable by focusing on the element of betrayal - how an unsuspecting young woman would be led into the procedure by a trusted but ultimately duplicitous female.
"We had a term for those people, those girls that would turn on you, that wouldn't be there for you, that would maybe expose something you trusted them with, and really let you down - a complete wreckage. So those girls were called Cornflake Girls," the singer told NME."
So, honey, what do you think about Tori Amos?
