I LOVE Tori Amos!  Some of her songs are just super powerful!  I found out today she has a new CD coming out.  Then I realized it’s an odd-numbered year… Tori has been touring in odd-numbered years for ages now, and she always comes to SPAC!  I don’t care what happens for the rest of the year (within reason) as long as I can see Tori!  I seriously wish VH1 would release their Storytellers so I can get hers.  Ugh!

Okay, so now that I’ve confessed my love for Tori Amos, I must now share with the world how I’m feeling about the controversy surrounding Britney Spears’ song “If U Seek Amy.”  Honestly, I don’t get the hoopla!  I mean, I do and I don’t.  As a parent, do I want my daughter running around sounding like she’s saying “F*** Me”, no.  But, do I think she understands what’s being said… That’s up for debate!  I guess my point is that if she didn’t know about the stink over the song, would she even realize it?  (I’ll have to ask tomorrow when she gets home from her friend’s house)  

Maybe I’m biased because I like the song, and it’s not like Britney isn’t 27 years old now… Besides, what about her first song?  Seriously?!  That didn’t even HAVE hidden meanings, did it?  Maybe “Circus” should be labeled “Parental Advisory.”  But I guarantee these kids today are hearing and know WAY more than we even imagined they did, so I doubt this isn’t something they probably haven’t heard in context at some point… That being said, I’m going to post the link to video for enjoyment… Like it or hate it, it doesn’t matter to me.  I honestly think the whole CD is good!
