Amos making money off 'honest lyrics' OK

Editor:

Ha ha ha, I guess Peter Catalanotte showed us Tori Amos fans with his April 25 Mutato article titled "Y kan't Tori write?" Tori may admittedly be lacking the punk/indie credibility of such tripe as, say, "Destination unknown, ruby, ruby, ruby, ruby soho!" However, I cannot see what is wrong with being a talented musician, writing honest lyrics and making money for it. Besides, if I randomly compiled your worst sentences (i.e., all of them) into an article and sent it to renowned journalism experts, how do you think they would react? I agree the poem you created is crap, but when you read Tori's lyrics, as she wrote them, they are anything but.
