i just read this, i'm sure some of it's been posted before, but i thought i'd use it:
"It's about unity, evolution and alternative perspectives," Keenan
insists from the safety of his home, in Los Angeles. "Evolution didn't
stop with us getting thumbs. There are a lot of metaphysical, spiritual
and emotional changes going on right now, and we're just trying to reflect
that. We're not different from Tori Amos in that sense."
Maybe not, but Tori doesn't sing about genetic mutation
("Forty-six and 2") [transcriber's note; doesn't that make 46&2 sound so
thin and simple??], and she certainly doesn't advocate sinking California
in to the sea ("Aenema"). "People in L.A. have lost touch with what
really matters," complains Keenan. "Sometimes it seems like a big fucking
enema would be the best thing for everybody. It would be the most violent
and terrifying way to start over, I wonder if it wouldn't be for the
best."

truthfully, with as much as the media and everyone likes to analyze tool, it's funny no one has ever interpreted any of tori amos' songs to relate to destruction, drugs, and evolution.
