Before MeToo, "Me and a Gun": Tori Amos’ 'Little Earthquakes'
Where Were You in '92?12/14/22 • 59 min
With her groundbreaking 1992 debut album, Little Earthquakes, Tori Amos paired pianos with guitars and shook the music world to its core. The record's most poignant and painful moment was the a cappella track “Me and a Gun,” a chilling account of the artist's sexual assault. Long before the MeToo movement, Amos was a hero and crusader who spoke truth to power, not only with her songwriting but with her work as the first spokesperson for the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN), the largest nonprofit anti-sexual assault organization in the U.S.
In this episode, we explore one of the most soul-baring, innovative releases of the ’90s—and the uphill battle its creator faced to get it made. With special guest Tori Amos.

Where Were You in '92? - Before MeToo, "Me and a Gun": Tori Amos’ 'Little Earthquakes'
Transcript
Where Were You In ninety two is a production of I Heart Radio. A special note this episode features themes of sexual assault and may not be suitable for all listeners. The idea of being this like fierce, intelligent, open, vulnerable person who is also like so fierce with her sexuality and just being like whatever she wanted kind of blew my mind wide, wide open. Welcome to Where Are You In?
