This article is a critical analysis of the career and personal history of Tori Amos, written by Coyote Weeds. The author expresses skepticism about the official narrative surrounding Amos’s life and career, suggesting that her public persona is manufactured and possibly propaganda. The article delves into Amos’s family background, questioning the authenticity of her claimed Native American heritage, particularly Cherokee roots. It scrutinizes her early musical education at the Peabody Institute of The John Hopkins University and her subsequent career beginnings, highlighting alleged contradictions and inconsistencies in her accounts of these events, such as her experiences playing in gay bars at a young age.
The author also explores Amos’s lineage, tracing her ancestry through various surnames and suggesting connections to prominent historical figures and families, including alleged links to Jimmy Wales and Presidential families. The article questions the origin of her stage name, Tori, and discusses the deliberate alteration of her identity. It further examines her musical output, particularly albums like Little Earthquakes and Boys for Pele, interpreting song lyrics and imagery as evidence of a deliberate agenda, which the author characterizes as “split-the-sexes” and “blackwashing Christianity.” The article also scrutinizes her involvement with organizations like RAINN (Rape, Abuse, Incest National Network) and her advocacy for victims of sexual assault, questioning the sincerity of her claims and her motives. The author concludes that Amos presents a manufactured persona, lacks genuine spirituality, and mocks real victims and cultural heritage.
