Cover art for Crucify lyrics by Tori Amos

Tori Amos says in her interview on Fade to Red that her song "Crucify" was inspired by Anne Boleyn. “I’ve always had a fascination with the beheading of Anne Boleyn. It’s haunted me. Of course, because the Protestant Reformation is entwined with Queen Elizabeth’s mother {Anne Boleyn}…I guess I’ve always seen Anne Boleyn as the elicit mistress of the Protestant Reformation. I’ve also really been able to see what a POWERFUL force that she was...To be part of a group that broke away from the Catholic church.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Boleyn_in_popular_culture

@AJCtheQuene Wow, thanks for this fascinating anecdote!
