Hey, just because we've got Borders, Starbucks, Nike Town and endless McDonalds blah blah blah don't start getting greedy! ;-) On a less silly note...according to a Sacramento radio station Chris is playing a show in town on 29th November (tix on sale 25th September). So a more US tour dates should be announced sometime soon.

That said, I'm now gonna sink to that level. I realize this post is about as reality-based and as welcome as a D G Cosh-Nicole Kidman fantasy, but I'm compelled by a force greater than my common sense. I'm sure others (mostly female?) have wondered who Chris is writing about (mostly female?) in his more intimate/romantic/obsessive songs. Is, say, Cold Bitch about Susan or someone else? Is Let Me Drown about Susan or his mother? Is the one who gave him Fresh Deadly Roses the same one whose garden is grey by Sunshower? Is his co-sinner, who he leaves when the wind blows...er, sucks, in Tighter the same one who'll let him back in at his convenience in Disappearing One? O.K.-- I have a theory that one of his muses was Tori Amos. It's just something I got in my head a couple of years ago for very little apparent reason. When I read the notes in the SG Launch cd (#8), it mentioned that when the band was checking out the new technology, Chris was furiously clicking on an image of Tori (...I'll leave it at that). Though it seemed like a joke type thing, it started my misdirected wheels spinning. In '97 during some MTV 500 Countdown Purgatory there was a news item about an album Tori was working on (orchestral, at the time). My own obsessive eyes and ears were startled to see a picture of Chris pop up and hear a statement that he was trying to get one of his songs on her album! So far we can assume that Chris finds her phsyically appealing, and that they had at least a professional/collaborative friendship (don't worry, I won't get into 'Tash here). Seeing that I don't know these people, and yes, I believe they love their respective spouses, I'll admit it's not much to warrant speculation. Still, Chris and Tori have a lot in common-- they're contemporaries with somewhat parallel careers, have religious and family issues, Venus/Mars conjunctions, an apparent fondness for snakes and, oh yeah, music. I'm not fond of Tori's music, so I'm only familiar with her most popular (read video-promoted) songs. I'll leave it to the Amos fans with lives as pitiful as mine to cross-reference lyrics. And I'll just have to wonder-- is she the spark he disappears on? Is the swirl in his mission raspberry?

He looked pretty sickly. I'm not complaining, just a > tad > worried. Has Chris been known to use drugs? Geez, here we go again. Look at the man's face, look at his eyes! This is not a person on drugs - he looks happier and more at peace than I've ever seen him. Some of you people are so shallow. I sometimes wonder if we're looking at the same person. About the video - I LOVE it. I like the video even better than the song itself. There is so much symbolism, with the fire and all. And it was so cool to finally hear Chris talk about what a song really is about. And to the people complaining about the shots of Chris in the video - of course there are shots of him because he's an important part of the story being told in the video. The woman is trying to "reach" him, hence the flaming envelope she stuffs under the hotel door. The shots of him aren't like in other videos where the artist is just stuck in at random. He's actually a part of the story line as I see it. I want to go more into the fire part, but I've only had a few hours sleep and I can't think right now - more later.

Heh Heh. Don't get the wheels in my mind spinnin'. I just got this picture of Chris and Trent Reznor dukeing it out over Tori! You have heard of the Trent/Tori conspiracy, haven't you? Ah -- and they're all releasing new albums on the same day! Tori must be a lucky girl...

Hey, you old SOMMIES out there (those of you who have been around since at least 1996)............ Have any of you noticed in the liner notes on the lyric page of www.chriscornell.com that Chris personally thanks **JEN KERN*** An old school SOMMSter that started working as an intern at Silver Management about 2 months before SG broke up!!!!!!!! For those of you who don't know Jen, she is the definition of awesome. In 96, she got me tix to the final SG show in Seattle so me and a friend flew up from Utah to see it. Then, when the show got canceled, Jen took us under her wing and showed us all over Seattle for 3 solid days. She is a true angel on fire who is making her dreams come true!!!!!!! Jen, if you're still lurking out there: WAY TO GO!!!!!!! YOU MADE THE BIG TIME BABE!!!!! LOVE & KISSES LANCE God, that made me feel good to see her name! ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 12 Sep 1999 07:29:34 +0800 From: Raven Nation Subject: looking for christi hej, my hard disk crashed a few days back. i couldn't recover the christi mp3 i've downloaded before. i'm hoping there anyone here who can send it to me via e-mail. i don't have an ftp connection. to that great person who is willing to send it please e-mail me directly, but don't send the mp3 yet. btw, my local rock radio started playing "can't change me" 2 days ago. already they have it as "pick of the week" this morning. hmmn, a philippine date must be closely behind....~s...just a prayer. - killyrbf ' nightmares ny the sea ' --- jeff buckley ***** Tagline 98 - V 1.1.29 Beta for MDaemon 2.7 ***** No need to pay your ISP. ***** Tagline 98 - V 1.1.29 Beta for MDaemon 2.7 ***** Free Dial-Up Connection and E-Mail Address http://teammail.dynip.com:8082 ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 11 Sep 1999 23:23:35 EDT From: Gina Helvenston Subject: Finally!!
