loving liberty and tori amos

[playboymommy]

Got my issue of reason magazine and delightfully found Neil Gaiman mentioned in sticking up for freedom of speech.

Neil is Tori's daughter's God father. They're besties. I know it's wishful thinking but perhaps Neil and Tori, over a cup of tea, discuss liberty and she learns to love it as much as her lyrics claim she does.

'because i like you, cause i like you porcupine, burrow your way to freedom.' That lyric, imo, is a shout out to libertarianism. What do you think?

I might just have to buy an album, now.

Should be the FSP's "best song lyric of all time!"

I've always liked Tori. Very original and very unique voice.

Also, didn't her dad make some weird video about gold money? There's a YouTube of it here somewhere.

That's how it clicked for me. I was on facebook and someone asked if I was going to porc fest and I asked why do they call it porc fest and he said 'because the porcupine is the Libertarian mascot' and I was like oh that's cool...and you know the toriphile I am, I just about peed myself when I put the two together, lol. It hit me, well, really made me hope, OMG Tori is a Libertarian!!

The song is called Posse Bonus, off her 9th studio album, American Doll Posse.

lyrics:
This is your posse bonus
This is your extra
This is your posse bonus
Because I like you

This is your posse bonus
This is your extra
This is your posse bonus

'cause I like you

Because I like you
'cause I like you
porcupine
burrow your way
to freedom

This is your posse bonus
This is your extra
This is your posse bonus
'cause I like you

Eat your greens
Feed your head
Mind the doubts
they harvest them
Broccoli
Feed your head
Their ideas
are fried in fat

This is your posse bonus
This is your extra
This is your posse bonus
'cause I like you

Because I like you
'cause I like you
porcupine
burrow your way
to freedom

You say that "you're not bothered
to lie beneath pigs
then go on Laura
here's a flower for your grave"


This is your posse bonus
This is your extra
This is your posse bonus
'cause I like you
I like you
I like you

YES!

When it was posted in the Tori forums it gave me the opportunity to talk about the federal reserve, etc. I also posted a thread about it in this forum when the video was released.



I tried to tie together what Dr. Amos was saying to what Dr. Paul was saying and what Tori writes about, war, aggression, peace, gold, freedom, music, etc. It's paying off over there.

EDDIE'S FIRST RELEASE IS AN AVANT GARDE COMICAL SKETCH ABOUT THE CURRENT AMERICAN DEBT CRISIS. USING INTENTIONAL LOW PRODUCTION FOR HUMOR AND AWARENESS OF MORE SERIOUS ISSUES, EDDIE'S VIDEO PRESENTS THE QUESTION -- WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE ARTS AND MEDIA IF THE POWER BEHIND THE DOLLAR IS DESTROYED?

Awesome. Glad to watch that video again when I get home. Maybe I'll take some acid this time. JusKiddin.

+rep to you.

The pieces of connecting Tori to a libertarian are slowly coming together, I just read that Rufus Wainwright, who toured with Tori and opened for her shows during her Strange Little Girls tour, describes himself as 'a complete libertarian'. That's two of her closest friends now supporting Liberty, and I know she has a connection with Oliver Stone whom also supports Ron Paul. Yes, I'm obsessed.

Isn't Tori Amos a man hating feminist?

 

[playboymommy]

Isn't Tori Amos a man hating feminist?

Yes, as much as Ron Paul is a racist homophobe.
