From Slate, courtesy of Townsman berlyant, professional wrestler Mick Foley’s life was changed by Tori Amos:
I eventually gathered my courage and made a pilgrimage to Tori’s side of the convention hall. There she was: bright orange hair, high distinct cheekbones, and a warm smile for each fan who posed by her side. I was about 10 feet from her when she looked over, got up from her chair, and extended both her arms. “I can hug you?” I asked, disbelieving. And then Tori put her arms around me.
