3. When's Tori's birthday?

Every year there are a series of birthday parties thrown for Tori by fans with the proceeds donated to RAINN - The Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network which Tori helped found. The highest grossing hosts and hostesses are generally rewarded with prizes from autographed pictures to backstage passes.
4. What well known music school kicked Tori out at age 11?

Answer: Peabody

She was kicked out for too much improvisation. She preferred The Beatles to Mozart and enjoyed expanding on Bach's works for the piano instead of playing them as written.
5. Released in 1988, what is the name of Tori's first album?

Answer: "Y Kant Tori Read"

She had almost no creative control over the album and the cover featured her with a large sword. Hence the line in the B-Side "Take to the Sky": "...with this sword in my hand." When she came back with "Little Earthquakes", it was all Tori.
6. Which of these artists has Tori covered on an album or in concert?

Answer: All of these.

Tori has covered "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana, "Tiny Dancer" by Elton John, and "If 6 Was 9" by Jimi Hendrix.

He was her sound engineer. Their first child, a girl, is named Natashya Loren.
8. What was the name of the tour that accompanied "Songs from the Choirgirl Hotel"?

Answer: Plugged '98

She opened most shows with "Precious Things" and closed before the encores with "Waitress". There was alone-time in which the band (Jon Evans, Steve Caton, and Matt Chamberland) left the stage and Tori played 2-4 songs accoustic at the piano.
9. Who did Tori tour with on the "5.5 Weeks" tour in 1999?

Answer: Alanis Morissette

Tori went first on this tour, then Alanis.
10. What is the name of Tori's cover album, released in the fall of 2001?

Answer: "Strange Little Girls"

This was an album of covers of songs written by men about women. Each song was sung by a different character, all played, of course, by Tori and made distinct by the hair and make-up of Kevyn Aucoin.
11. Tori released a cover album in fall of 2001: which artist was NOT covered on that album?

Answer: Bruce Springsteen

Tori covered Eminem's controversial "'97 Bonnie and Clyde" about murdering his wife and stuffing her in the trunk of his car. Originally I read that Tori's character for this song was the murdered wife, but in her 2005 semi-autobiography 'Piece By Piece' Tori wrote she is singing from the daughter's perspective as a young woman, looking back.
12. Tori changed record labels in the summer of 2002 from Atlantic to _____________ ?

Answer: Epic

In the summer of 2002, Tori announced her switch from Atlantic, who she's been with since the days of "Y Kant Tori Read", to Epic, which is run by a woman who Tori says is a real sonofabitch (a good thing).
13. What is the name of Tori's album about America, written in the wake of September 11th, and released fall of 2002?

Answer: "Scarlet's Walk"

About "Scarlet's Walk", Tori's good friend Niel Gaiman said: the "CD's about America--it's a story that's also a journey, that begins in L.A. and crosses the country, slowly heading east. America's in there, and specific places and things, Native American history and pornography and a girl on a plane who will never get to New York, and Oliver Stone and Andrew Jackson and madness and a lot more. Not to mention a girl called Scarlet who may be the land and may be a person and may be a trail of blood."
14. The first single from the album about America, released to American radio in late August of 2002 is called _________ ?

Answer: "A Sorta Fairytale"

There is an album version of this song which features an extra verse that some say is the heart of the song. The song is about a couple that meet each other and find they are soulmates, but everything isn't wonderful and they realize their love just isn't enough to keep them together and they go their separate ways. That's why it's only a "sorta" fairytale.
15. The album about America released in 2002 was recorded at Tori's home/studio in ___________ ?

Answer: Cornwall, England

Tori loves the countryside in Cornwall, and all that land makes it easy for the faeries to come and help her write. Thanks for taking my quiz. I hope that you enjoyed it.
