ME AND A GUN
What brought Tori Amos early attention was an even sparer performance of a true story: an a capella rendition of her being raped by an acquaintance, and what was going through her head during the ordeal. The song, “Me and a Gun” was the title song on an EP called Me and a Gun; it is also included on her first solo album, Little Earthquakes (1992). Her slow-tempoed cover of the Nirvana hit song “Smells Like Teen Spirit” later became a tribute to Kurt Cobain following his death.
