News: Let Sleeping Dogs Lie

Charlie W. and me (hey, that’s MY name, TOO!) told us about a postmortem addendum to the ancient Tori/Alanis “feud”¹ making its way onto various music news sites the past few days…

From Contactmusic.com:

MORISSETTE + AMOS MAKE PEACE OVER ‘HURT EARS’ COMMENT

ALANIS MORISSETTE and TORI AMOS ended a silent feud on the road when the Canadian rocker took the CORNFLAKE GIRL to task over a comment she made in an interview.

Morissette admits she was a little confused when Amos said the album Jagged Little Pill “made her ears hurt,” and decided to bring it up when the two were paired together on tour.

The Ironic hitmaker tells Venice magazine, “I was, ‘All right, what do you have to say for yourself?’ She apologised profusely.”

Years later, Morissette agrees her hit debut was a little harsh for some.

She adds, “She’s (Amos) right… It was a record that didn’t rhyme, and to some ears sounded really abrasive.”

While the above comments from Alanis are recent, we do want to stress that this is pretty much a non-event in Toriville, as Tori and Alanis cleared the air with each other years ago.
