    I went to this concert in the mid 90's.
    Towards the end of this song she climbed over the piano onto the floor, back to the piano & just started playing & screaming from her soul. It was so exciting & slightly frightening as a teen girl. The girls & women in the audience all started screaming at the top of our lungs. It was a collection of screams some in joy, others sadness, some in anger. It was one of the most freeing experiences as a woman that I've ever had.

    Tori was a self-taught child prodigy at piano, playing and writing her own classical pieces by age 4 and won a full Peabody scholarship to Johns Hopkins University at age 5, the youngest to ever do so. She was forced to leave by age 11, allegedly for performing like Jerry Lee Lewis in a dress, singing wildly and playing with her legs on the keyboard and behind her back.

    I'm a 60-year-old transgender woman and I did not come out until 2019. So I lived in the closet during the Lilith Fair years from 1989 through 1999. I heard some of these songs but I turn the station and closed my heart off because I was terrified to bear my soul and allow myself to feel all of this but I'm here now and I'm feeling every note every plaintive cry the anguish the ecstasy all of the elements of the divine feminine in the voices of women like Tori and Sarah and Paula and Alanis and so many others who defied stereotypes and expectations. These are my sisters and I feel their joy and sorrow their agony and ecstasy their rage and their laughter, all of it. So I let the tears and the laughter flow today grateful that music lasts forever. We are One. 💖💞💖

He was over 8ft tall, over 400 lbs was part Samoan but wore ladies dresses....but also had a goatee, mutton chops, and a mustache.....it was a very busy look. I helped dye his hair blue and blond and his dreads. He took his life when he got caught using his family's trucking company to bring ecstasy and Ketamine into Buffalo from Niagra Falls. Rather than let his family get in trouble he bought a big bottle of hydrocodone and a bottle of wine and he never woke up again. I miss him like an old dog.
      This said I think we need to acknowledge that the same rights that make it ok to identify as trans or gay....these same rights also mean a person can believe anything not cisgender is wrong and evil. I don't agree with them but, if you take away their right to expound on their beliefs.....then you will lose the right to openly identify.....or possibly even be gay or trans or bi, ect. Politics in America is a seesaw game. The left gets to drive...then the right takes a turn.
      The best we can hope for is everyone having a right to their own point of view....no Americans have a right to go through life without ever being offended. Personally I'm offended by anyone in a 3-piece suit.....I was sexually assaulted by a state trooper in VA so, all cops offend me....just by existing but, what can reasonably be done about it. Hillbilly Steve is never going to call a trans woman her..... Let's just be thankful if we can get him to work next to you without thinking this gives him justification to burn their house down. If you try to force rednecks to be polite they'll only call you "asshole". I'd be happy if the Christians would just stop worrying about what's going on in other people's bedrooms.

    In Tori‘s latest book, she talks about how “cornflake girls” are serial saboteurs (basic bitches who try to tear each-other down, criticizing and sabotaging the hopes and dreams of other women). The “raisin girls” are those fewer and further between ones, those sweet gems of healthy support who build each other up rather than tearing each other down. The “man with the golden gun” is the one who “knows” he has the power to train women to do the work for him of keeping the patriarchy in place by tearing each other down and keeping each other down. She stated that the part with the “this is not really happening, you bet your life it is,” is about female genital mutilation, because it’s often women whom these young girls trust who perform the mutilation. It’s just one of many ways that women keep each other down because the “man with the golden gun” (a perception of “righteous power”) has told them to. So it’s really about both issues at once.

      HUH!?! Obviously, someone in the studio assigned some Barbie to write a whatever. Tori had multiple personalities. Nothing seemed to bother Tori whereas Rabbit was a very scared individual that had a key that was needed for a bank account, a new book written and hidden, a new song left behind and somewhere in all of this there is a bounced to an almost normal character merely name Sarah McLaughlin followed by Shania Twain who was sort of a reborn from Sissel. But, the first, the very first was Brenda Lee....no...there was another composer at the age of 3 named Shirley Jane Temple not to be confused with 2 other standins that came in the later years like Shirley Temple Black who is NOT Shirley Jane Temple. Tori is part of a high autistic personality that can compose and mimick sounds and create a character for a book, a movie. The man with the golden gun was FBI shall I say, John Douglas??? Golden is like 007 but in America lingo. John Douglas detained and arrested several ?sisters? of Tori at the orders of whoever wanted to be the next, shall we say, bank manager??? Corn flake girls. As a very young child Tori witness the burning down of a corn field to flush out people that had been stealing. The ending was tragic down deep in the old south. Some day I must read this said book. Changing of hats would be from character to character whether it is Tori performing as Sissel or Sandy Dennis performing as Hayley Mills.

      Not really. There’s been great music in every era, you just have to find it. I’m likely much older than all of you, but I appreciate artists as diverse as Neil Young, Dead Kennedys, Nine Inch Nails, Ghost, and so much more. The 80s had far more than The Smiths and Wham, but unless those were your formative years, you may not appreciate the innovation and diversity that happened during that time. I will admit, though, I can’t find a whole lot about the current music that I like or that defines it. There’s nothing cohesive or innovative that I can see, but maybe I’m finally too old to appreciate new music.

    I first heard this song at a Pawn Shop. I was buying a stereo and the girl needed a CD. She found this just laying around and said, here we'll listen to cornflake girl. As I heard it I was amazed at this song and asked how much for the CD. She said a .25 cents, I said DEAL! Now i have it and listen to this song all the time. GREAT SONG! Now I'm a Tori Amos fan.

    I often judge the quality of music by whether I am able to just pick it up and play it myself quickly with my limited skills. This song is absolutely bonkers if you look at the sheet music. Way more difficult than some classical pieces I have played on the piano.

      I mean the introductory riff isn't terrible, it is the solo part that is so complicated that the site I bought it off didn't transpose it lol.
