Acckk!Tori with her first band Y Kant Tori Read? Eeeek! What's up with the hair? Oh yeah, I remember now....the 80's!
Tori now, thank goodness! What a doll!
Stuff you need to know about Tori~

She was born in North Carolina and raised in Maryland.
Tori's father is a Methodist preacher.
She began playing piano at the age of two, and began performing in her church choir at age 4.

Tori calls her fans Ears With Feet, aka EWF's.
Her lyrics are sometimes totally so crazy that noone can figure out what the heck she's talking about! (see below)
Mr. Zebra
Hello Mr. Zebra
Can I have your sweater
cause it's cold cold cold
in my hole hole hole
Ratatouille Strychnine
Sometimes she's a friend of mine
with a gigantic whirlpool
that will blow your mind
Hello Mr. Zebra
Ran into some confusion
with a Mrs. Crocodile
Furry mussels marching on
She thinks she's Kaiser Wilhelm
or a civilized syllabub
to blow your mind
Figure it out
She's a goodtime fella
She's got a little fund to fight
for Moneypenny's rights
Figure it out
She's a goodtime fella
Too bad the burial was premature
she said and smiled
And furthermore, Tori does NOT sound like Kate Bush....ohhh man, I hate that!
Happy Tori Tuesday everyone!

word veri~capqadig
Isn't that where Ted K killed that chick?
whoa, those lyrics are odd!!!
all i can say is i am glad i was anti fashion sense in the 80s....no big hair pictures of me lurking around anywhere. those are som eweird lyrics. what was she smoking when she wrote that?
I had that exact hair in the 80's!
Happy Tori Tuesday!!
I completely understood that! It's like so totally trippy man
I just emptied my mind....and sucked it up...wait
My mind is already empty
When I was at her Scarlet's Walk concert in Duluth a couple years back, she brought Natasha on stage with her when the audience was clapping for an encore. It was really cute.
To this day I cannot figure out the lyrics to "Mr. Zebra." To me, it seems like she is talking about herself as a mouse, (hole and strychnine), and is refrencing different anminals that are actually people in her life.
Who knows?
she's hot though.
Excellent.
The 'modern' photo of her is awesome!
Happy Tori Tuesday to you too!
I love her.
Ah, just got finished listening to 'Scarlets Walk' (hadn't heard it in a month or so)- Great album!
That's one of my favorite tunes @Mr. Zebra. Oddly enough, it was playing on my LaunchCast (the Live version from to Venus and Back) when I decided to Google "Tori Tuesday" and found this page. Coincidence? :)
