And this is a good one by one of my faves!! Never saw it before!!

"The American comedian Sandra Bernhard once made an incredibly sarcastic cover version of Little Red Corvette, where I sing the backing vocals. That’s years ago, just after my hard rock LP Y Kant Tori Read flopped. So that part was covered. But now that you bring it up, I’m starting to feel a little sorry. (laughs) Prince is such an archetype, isn’t it? He is so small, and still every part of him looks so big: his hormones, his talent, his mouth, teeth, eyes, hands and probably his dick as well. He has a double portion of everything. And his songs are perfect to hang around in the head of such a super-macho. I really wanted my versions of those male songs to become 'the word made flesh,' like in the Bible. By interpreting their lyrics from a feminine point of view, I took possession of their seed. You take a man’s word, you take his seed. I went in their heads, and if I turn their words against them, it’s checkmate."

nobody ever really does...that's the great thing about this woman. she can write things like
"tuna rubber got a little blubber in my igloo, yes"
and no one knows what the hell she's talking about except herself. and the joy in that is it can mean anything to you and be just as important as the true meaning is to her.

art is truly an interpretation!

And Prince would be verbally crucified by some in here if he tried to get away with that.

you may be right, sadly...but those same people who would crucify prince also don't appreciate tori's writing.

but just for the record...as much as i love prince, he could never pull that off. he has great lyrical skills, but he's not as lyrically creative as tori is. it's cool, though, cuz she's not as musically inclined as he is. give and take...everybody has their something.
