2. In which of these songs does Tori mention Marianne?

Answer: Sister Janet

Tori says: "Maryanne Curtis is a girl I went to school with in junior high. She was the kind of person everyone adored, she was just magical. I had written a song about her years ago which I used to play in the bars sometimes. It never went any further than being performed, I didn't record it. Since then I have always wanted to have Maryanne in a song. She died from a drug overdose when she was 15. It is not known, but I don't believe it was suicide. I think she took the wrong things together. She is very special to me, and comes to visit in my songs sometimes." (credit to www.yessaid.com)

She hangs around with a lot of girls who do porn, and she doesn't judge them; she just wants to love them. Her mentors are some of the old screen legends - like Eva Marie Saint in "North by Northwest". She lives in a fantasy world, in stories." (credit to www.yessaid.com)
