This page should be deleted - the song doesn't merit its own page, all important info is included in the Little Earthquakes page. Can a sysop please oblige? -- AW
In general, I think very few individual songs merit their own encyclopedia entries. Certainly a few like "Stairway to Heaven" or "Revolution 1", but other than that I think the album level is quite sufficient for most musicians. -- LDC
Okay, I'm convinced, so you and LDC make it 2 to 1. Why don't you go ahead and incorporate all the text from this article into either Tori Amos or Little Earthquakes; then, delete all the text from this article. You or I can then place an entry on the Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion page (reason: no text left in article). -- Ed Poor

Regarding the reverts as of late -- personally, it doesn't matter to me whether Tori was actually raped or not, and I don't think it changes the notability of the song. I do, however, want some proof. While the link to hereinmyhead.com with Tori's quote doesn't actually say Tori was raped, it implies that some sort of physical assault or abuse occurred. I'm just maintaining what the page originally said before I got here, as I honestly don't see sufficient proof either way.
I'm on wiki-vacation, technically, so I shouldn't even be writing this. I do want this page to be the best page possible. I'm hoping when I come back (in about 24 to 48 hours) that I will find some actual proof in one direction or another (not a message board where people speculate -- I meam a link to an interview or perhaps a very credible biographer). If I don't find that but I do see the change made again, I will be disappointed because of what's said above. If I see no changes made, I will not be disappointed at all, and I will do the research myself, credibly. Thanks. -- Jacquelyn Marie 13:46, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
Tori also alludes to her rape in the song "talula". The lyric runs "I've got my rape hat on, honey, but I always could accessorise"
Image:Me and a Gun single cover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
