...they do most afternoons, the social refugees of Webster Groves find sanctuary underground--in Gene Clifford's basement, a dim cavern that reeks of cigarettes. Here, 16-year-old Gene and his friends have created a study hall-cum-social center. Posters of Pink Floyd, The X-Files and Tori Amos line the walls.

I was like, 'Ok, I could use a little conditioner, but - God!"....And finally, kudos to John Malkovich for participating in the feature-film wackjob Being John Malkovich. It's no secret that...
...never really understand what Tori Amos is saying. Actually, I don't think Tori Amos knows what Tori Amos is saying, but most of us can mysteriously understand what she's feeling. Her fifth solo release, the double-CD set To Venus and Back reaffirms the notion that even a string of random words can, in some way, convey angst, love, and yes, even more angst. Unlike her prior albums, which dealt with Amos's traumatic past, To Venus and Back doesn't really have a theme, but Amos insists that it was instead inspired by her Muse. "I look...
