As we approach the 20th anniversary of Tori Amos’s “Boys for Pele,” Jessa invites her friend, Common Gore, onto the show to discuss Tori Amos, the importance of her work, and her omission from the pop culture cannon, despite being one of the weirdest, wildest artists of the 90s. Together, they talk about her lasting legacy as an artist (especially as a live performer), the differences between our current music scene and the one Amos occupied in the 90s, the negative influences that reshaped her music, their thoughts on her latest work, and most importantly, why it's about damn time her music is canonized.
