    I never got to meet my sister Courtney. She passed away in 1995 from cancer a few days before I was born. I luckily had her music collection to go through and I thank her for being with me through musicians like Tori. Love you, Courtney.

    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.

    This song reminds me of driving 100 miles in the morning, after working all night, to see the girl I was dating in the big town she lived in...circa 1997. We saw Tori 3 times back then. Had a bumper sticker on my car, "Tori, Trent, and Tool". Trent of course for NIN.
    Those years/times were great.

    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. 💖💞💖

      ​@@atherwitchthat's nonsense....Tracy Chapman and Tori? Where do you even get anti-trans from this statement?
      It sounds like he wasn't ready to go public but, he kind of wished he'd been able to at or during the event?
      My bro Lou dressed in ladies clothes but, that was the 90's. I once asked him how he identified....like he was dating a DJ lady but, we'd been pals for months and I was really scratching my head. I sked was he bi....gay?... undecided? He said idk.....it's probably easier to just think of me as a genderbender. 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.

      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.
