Tori Amos’ performance did not appeal to Steve Hochman (“Tori Amos: Too Much Drama, Not Enough Song,” March 24). He claims she made us count every one of the stars. I wasn’t counting any
stars. I felt I was welcomed by a warm individual who is very open about her feelings. Very little music can stand up to the test of being performed by a solo vocalist with an instrument. It
is a very exposed place. At no point did she “spoil” the effect. She is gifted as a songwriter and a performer. Burn the metronome and backing tracks, let’s have the real thing, the
unpolished stone from the heart, the unspoiled natural beauty of the Earth, untouched by human hands. WILLIAM GIBSON Highland Park MORE TO READ
