Tori Amos Interviewed by Kennedy on MTV's Alternative Nation (Better Quality). Interview is about her first big album, Under the Pink, which had just gone #1 in the Charts. (Parts 1 and 2 Together) - 1994
This is probably the most serious I've seen Kennedy act and probably the least serious I've seen of Tori Amos. They both brought the best out of each other.
Tori is actually neutral politically. if you search and watch her "self-healing tips" video, she says: "the show people can be over here (points to the right) doing all kinds of things, the think tanks can be over here (points to the left) trying to indoctrinate our children...but I'm here!!" (and she points to the center).
@@jenns.5791 umm, no, she is a flaming left wing feminist. As with most leftists, they dont care about individual freedom, she wants to demand you think and act like her and stand for what she wants or she gets infuriated. The fascist do what i say or else liberal. She is FAR FAR from neutral.
@@jenns.5791 there is no way she is “neutral” when one side, Kennedy’s side, has eliminated women’s control of their own bodies nationally and in some states has legalized child marriage, eliminated equal marriage rights for interracial, interfaith, and LGBT citizens, and banned artistic expression related to gender. She has a daughter. Her daughter has fewer freedoms and rights at her age than Tori did when she was young. You think Tori supports that? No decent person should.
seriously..thanks so much for posting this. I really miss this era....this show and remembering my feelings when I found Tori, because this was the time that I found her. Thank you so much!
I don't know why people don't like Kennedy, She was kooky, sincere and awkward. Can anyone name any interviewers on mtv or on any media channel that are at least half as genuine and not anorexic, plastic bimbos today? The only one I can think of remotely close is Alexa Chung and she got canceled after two seasons and she interviewed people who were just a waste of time like Justin Beiber and Rihanna. I would love to go back to a time when stuff like this and Tori were on tv.
They hated her because she held Conservative/Libertarian views. That was a big no no to the ultra liberal MTV crowd. It only made her more adoring to me.
Tories reached out twice to touch Kennedy's arm while talking with her. This is a true Southern behavior and it means she does like quirky but lovable Kennedy! I'm a Southern Girl too and the entire interview here shows friendship in my humble opinion!
Tori grew up in Maryland and while it is south of the Mason-Dixon line, it’s generally considered mid-atlantic not southern, though there are shades of southern culture in rural areas. Tori is from Montgomery County in a suburb of DC. Overall, Maryland is not culturally the south and the majority of Marylanders consider themselves northern.
But . . . "You're a lizard walking around with a stolen genital???" What? I get being disappointed or completely disagreeing with someone's opinion and/or behavior, but that??? It just seems really strange. I never saw this interview and was really surprised that it wasn't this complete male hate fest that seems to be so pervasive through female entertainers and artists.
following the eye roll. "if you're a growing person it's not just about women rights, it's about human rights, you know that's silly. that's fascism." that sounds like Antifa and modern feminism. Tori saw where it was all headed.
To think you'd see the day where you'd be astonished if MTV today interviewed a musicianYou can't have 1990s woman's fashion without the 'baby dolll' dress
Wow, common sense on MTV... what's going on here?! THIS ISN'T THE RAP, FASHION, AND THOUGHTLESS COMEDY THAT I USUALLY FIND ON MTV! Seriously though, Tori Amos is cool. And in reality, all of her views should be common sense, but aren't. I just wish everyone thought more like her.
@GDGspire Can you explain what you mean about the meet and greets, any examples? Just that I've never been to one but imagine if I did I'd burst into tears or something.
A Meet and Greet is a special V.I.P. pass that allows a fan to go backstage either prior to a concert or immediately after wards, (usually after the show), to meet the artist who greets their fans, takes photos with them and gets their autographs! These use to be free, you only needed to know a person in the industry to get to go to a meet and greet. Sometimes, back then, the radio stations offered them as on-air prizes or as a special promotion. Nowadays, the Meet and Greets are a profit center for the artists/promoter. I recently bought tickets to see a band coming to my town for a show. I then inquired about getting on the list for the Meet and Greet. I was told the V.I.P. Meet and Greet with the artists is $1,000 per person on top of the regular ticket price! So that's it! I hope my lengthy description helped! Take care!!
Worst example I've ever seen of a woman (kennedy) being intimidated by an incredibly gracious and gifted woman. Tori Amos was far more gracious than Kennedy deserved, in my opinion. Tori has class.
@njg2q Its slogan was the Music never stops, now its the Music never plays. The Only reason why it play about 6 hours of Music in the wee hours in the morning is because, they have to prepare the crap they are trying to put on during the daytime programming.
Nothing about what labels are attached to a movement is the movement. Commercailization is a sign of the end. An innovative time, like from the ninetes, is coming back. Just wait. Post Recession Blues on the radio,
This is a great clip. Thanks. Tori is an incredible musical talent and Kennedy is terrific. I really miss Kennedy. Does anyone know what happened to her?
Wow, Tori has zero understanding of what fascism really is. Favoring the group or collective over the individual leads to intolerance of any opinion that doesn't go with what the collective deems acceptable. Usually, the collective will than silence the unacceptable opinion with the threat of or use of violence. To do so would be authoritarian and authoritarianism is fascism. Kennedy on the other hand, who supports individual rights over "collective rights", is as anti-fascist as one can get.
Tori has absolutely blown my mind and opinion of her in this interview. I never knew she was actually this liberal to be saying it's not just women's rights, it's human rights. I always thought she was this total misandry loving Fem-Bot jerk. Glad to know she isn't or at least was not back in 1994.
Kennedy was clearly very insecure before Tori and Tori read that kind of body language. However, Tori knew how to handle the situation by just staying cool by not being a jerk to Kennedy.
