Tori Amos | Songbird
For the musician Tori Amos, the best way to travel is to step onstage. ‘‘Performing is like taking a magic carpet ride,’’ she says. Her songs cover a wide range of subjects, from sexuality to religion to designer accessories. (Sample lyric: ‘‘Somewhere in the hills of Ireland, there’s a Prada bag.’’) ‘‘Comic Book Tattoo,’’ an anthology of graphic art inspired by her songs, is due out in July. The book follows last year’s ‘‘Legs and Boots,’’ a series of live ‘‘bootlegs’’ sold through her Web site, and her American Doll Posse World Tour; ever the provocateur, she invited Pope Benedict XVI to her show in Rome. (He never R.S.V.P.’ed.) Despite his absence, Amos still managed to feel a higher power. Of giving a concert, she says: ‘‘It’s a legal way to get ecstasy. But there is less of a hangover if you go my way.’’ ALEX HAWGOOD
