I’ve had the Tori Amos<\/a> tickets since about an hour after they went on sale. Tori Amos and Kate Bush are my all-time favorites. <\/p>\n

Two of the Tori Amos “dolls” of her multiple-personality “American Doll Posse” made an appearance at the concert she gave at the Fox Theater in Atlanta Wednesday night. <\/p>\n

This concert was very different than Tori’s others. Less hypnotic reverie, more hard rock.<\/p>\n

Evidently the songlist is affected by the selection of the semi-archetypal facets of her personality she chooses to perform with that night (\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Pip\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Santa\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Isabel\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Clyde\u00e2\u20ac\u009d or \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Tori\u00e2\u20ac\u009d).<\/p>\n

The “Santa” persona – a very saucy, rebellious creature – rocked the house. With bobbed platinum hair and a clingy, almost-not-there black dress, she belted out some of Tori’s most high-energy songs. This is the tiger.<\/p>\n

Body and Soul<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seven devils bring them on
\nI have left my weapons
\n’cause I think you’re wrong
\nThese devils of yours they need love<\/p>\n

Come and kneel with me Body and Soul
\nCome and kneel with me Body and Soul
\nBody and Soul Body and Soul Body and Soul<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The “Tori” persona stepped in later. Her long red-auburn hair set off the glittery, cling-tight american flag jumpsuit. Her movements reminded me of that “oh, wow” muppet.<\/p>\n

Big Wheel<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been on my knees
\nBut you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re so hard
\nhard to please
\nDid you take me take me in
\nSo you are a superstar
\nget off the cross we need the wood
\nSomehow you will rise
\nBut without a tool
\nI know honey you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re a pro
\nBut BABY I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t need your cash
\nMama got it all in hand now<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

These were both very fiery characters, and it was a great concert, but I missed hearing her more contemplative and moody songs. I would have loved to have heard more of the ballads – I missed songs like “The Beekeeper,” “Father Lucifer,” and “Mohammed My Friend.”<\/p>\n

We had a great time, and I have to say that it was a much more interesting crowd than the audience that showed up for George Carlin. The people-watching was almost as fun as the concert itself.<\/p>\n

And I even got a tee-shirt. I hardly ever do that.<\/p>\n

Ben was very pleased to stay home with his first-ever at-home babysitter. She is very pretty, and she even played with him. This is the last bit of conversation I heard as I left the house: “But Batman isn’t blue!” “No, that’s just the bot. The real Batman is inside the bot.” I think he had as good a time as we did.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
