Alanis Morissette to Play the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles
By Lindsey Darden
Ah, Alanis. What can be said about her than what has already been said (outside of redundant trash-talk involving Dave Coulier and Scarlett Johannsen)? Quite a lot, actually. From bursting upon the alternative scene with her international debut album Jagged Little Pill, to a freaking adorable appearance on a bi-curious-esque episode of “Sex & the City”, Morissette was the It Girl [slash] alt-inclusive doll of the 90′s. And what a darling she was, and is. Much to the delight to the major SoCal area, she will be gracing the stage at the Orpheum Theatre this Thurday and Friday, November 13th and 14th, at 8:00 pm.
For some reason or another, her albums following Some Former Infatuation Junkie in 1998 didn’t hurtle forward with as much steam in the opinion of even her most die-hard fans. It seemed for a while that an overall view of leveled-out on a grassy green plateau as she settled into domestic bliss with actor Ryan Reynolds. Let it be said that the world will never know to what extent the white-hot flame crackled to a faintly glowing ember; however, never to doubt Morissette’s talents, this writer would like to think that being launched into such disenchanted wonderment is one of the more efficient ways to secure one’s vision of all things relative – on either end of whatever spectrum.
“Someone said very wisely to me the other day that catharsis doesn’t mean healing necessarily, and I thought, ‘Damn! It’s true.’ But catharsis is good to get it out of my system, for me to see with some clarity what’s going on.”
In the name of art, that’s not exactly as awful a state as the mind could be, or as awful an avenue on which to get there (hello, sex, drugs, and rock & roll). Whatever the reasons behind the ebb and flow of life’s electric charge, its usefulness is only in the being that it courses through. And if thirteen years on the scene has impressed anything upon Morissette, we’ll want to be within listening distance at the Orpheum. For more information, call (877) 677-4386.
