Madonna Rising (1998)
Glimpse into Madonna's Past...
In this fascinating yet all-too-brief look into the apartments and recording studios that Madonna lived in and used pre-superstar-status, we see Madonna very candid and generally very funny. She's scoping out her former digs with close friend Rupert Everett, and in the process goes through details on her nude modeling career and early recording habits. The best moment comes when Madonna goes into the deli she once frequented and is offered pricey original nude prints of herself by an older male customer - the shots she took all those years ago and surfaced in Penthouse and Playboy in '85. Madonna smirks and responds "Oh, but I can get them for free!"
Worth a look for re-runs!
Tori Amos Live from NY (1998)
The Amazing Tori Amos Strikes Again
Give it up for the deliciously daring and musically brilliant Tori Amos, who serves up a mixture of revenge, thought, beauty, sadness, religion, and more all rolled up into one 17-track bonanza of sound. Using classic songs from her first three albums (Little Earthquakes, Under the Pink, and Boys for Pele), Tori performs with ease and she's always ready for a clever turn of phrase. Unforgettable performances include those of "Silent all these years", "Pretty good year", "Leather", "The waitress", "Cornflake girl", and the always haunting "Me and a gun". Believe me, the reason she's so much fun to watch is because she's having fun too.
