When I post, it may come across as negative. I think it is because that is when there is trouble in my "Toriworld". I may be hoping for feedback or even criticism to help me get OK. That may sound selfish but a little negativity can be good to promote discussion. I am totally excited about the new album but: You know you are a redneck if you like Big Wheel. I can not stand country and this may have caused some unwarranted worry. What I don't like about MILF is it just seems to be placed in the song for shock value. What was your reason for not voting? Was it apathy or ignorance? I don't know and I don't care. It is quite honorable for Tori to try to get people involved in politics. But as Paul Tingen notes, this is a daunting task. Can a good political album be made? Many major music stars spent lots of time, energy and money to get people to vote. It didn't work. Sadly, our young people are narcistic. It's the lyrics you stupid old fart! I could not relate to much of TBK's lyrics. When Tori mentioned influences, I even read the books but they still didn't touch my heart. I am concerned that her lyrics are getting too difficult for me to process. I must be one of the old farts because I do listen to Neil Young from time to time. Ouchhh! Feminist VS Chauvinist Has Tori turned all her attention to females? I'm feeling a bit left out. Doesn't it seem that through the years more and more guys are going to the shows? Doesn't it seem like more and more older fans are going? If Tori wants to reach the young women, she'll have to get their attention in a big way. I'm hoping that American Doll Posee is it. Thanks for listening. I truly enjoy hearing from evryone (positive or negative). I'm wishing that the new songs will be very special to all of you. Tori still puts a smile on my face and tears in my eyes. That will never change. I will now go back to hibernation for awhile.
