The Tori fanzine Little Blue World is excited to publish an exclusive interview with Tori's friend Rantz Hoseley for their third anniversary issue due out in late May. Rantz was Tori's roommate when she was recording "Little Earthquakes" in 1991 and has since collaborated with her on tour programs and numerous other projects. Here's just a taste of what Rantz has to say about how the failure of YKTR affected Tori's work on "Little Earthquakes":
"She was completely excited because it was a huge departure from the whole Y Kant Tori Read experience. Not just in terms of what the songs were like, or the arrangements, but also in terms of how she approached the songwriting and her mindset. I think part of it is, your first big "break" in whatever your creative field is, you have to get burned or screwed over in order to have a sense of real balance in your work and your outlook on what you make. Some people have that before they ever get anything out in the public eye, but Tori learned a lot through the whole YKTR experience. I don't know if she'd agree with me or not, but I think it was a vital thing for her to go through, and I think the music she created afterwards resonates in the soul and has that conveyed sense of emotion and honesty because of that experience."
Rantz also talks about witnessing Tori's creative process, how he introduced her to Neil Gaiman, and what it's like to swap kid stories with our favourite redhead.
