Tori

If you were in college in the early '90s and a man, then proclaiming yourself a Tori Amos fan was a sign that you at least had aspirations to sensitivity in a "Sure, I'll volunteer at the crisis hotline" kind of way. It sounds like Amos has lightened up: (Spin)

Q: So, in reference to your new album's title, are you abnormally attracted to anything other than sin?
A: Good wine. But not in the morning.

Q: That doesn't sound so abnormal.
A: No. But there's this thing I have with the crew. You know how it's in the contracts with certain artists who have just been through AA -- I'm not mentioning names -- that the crew and musicians have to [abstain from drinking] while on tour? Mine is sort of the opposite.

Q: You actually require people to drink?
A: Well, not exactly. But on my tour bus, it's not good if you're an AA person. I carry a wine cellar on the road, and I just don't think it's good if somebody can't be around a super Tuscan. I am the worst influence. If you can't handle your vices, then I am the Devil.
