      It's funny because, perhaps if it was a cow calf maybe people wouldn't have been so outraged and it would have been a Vegan's advertising dream, as we of course suckle the milk from a cows mother without a thought about it in our mind!

      She said once that the photo was specifically symbolic of nursing and nurturing that which is not considered kosher. Hence the pig. Also the obvious reference to the holy mother and child.

      That tour occurred during my senior year of high school, and Tori gave a concert in my home town. More than a few fellow students attended and assured me she put on an amazing show (wish I had been there!!) One of my classmates purchased her t-shirt bearing the pig suckling image to school the next day. He nearly got himself into trouble before the teacher made him turn it inside out.

      it came back in my mind while i was mourning, still mourning the lost of my grandfather, and suddenly i was free. this song has set me free in the most beautiful way. i cried tears of joy. this moment was pure magic. just pure bliss. it's the song and what came around with it. the trigger that brought the song and made me sing it aloud, for myself. it was exactly as if my grandfather was singing it through me. it was bliss.
      it made me believe in magic. so it changed my life, yes !

Had a chance to meet her many years ago at a concert she was/is a very big kind hearted woman and she would talk to you like you was an old friend at least she did with me then . I so wanted to marry her back then. and that is when my love of redheads bloomed 18years after that night I married my wife of the last 12 years.

There was off some off the air segments where I got the feeling she wasn’t a morning person, as she seemed a bit combative or defensive w some of the fans questions. All in all she’s still a talent.
