"Me and a Gun" is a song by American singer-songwriter and musician Tori Amos.

[1][2] Amos discussed the attack in a 1994 interview: "I'll never talk about it at this level again but let me ask you.

And if he hadn't needed more drugs I would have been just one more news report, where you see the parents grieving for their daughter.

"Silent All These Years" was a more accessible song, and radio stations began to play that instead.

Ultimately the single was re-released with nearly identical packaging but retitled as Silent All These Years.

Amos acknowledges wearing a revealing red top and challenges her rapist with the question of whether this made him think she deserved to be raped.

All rape myths were rejected more strongly--to varying degrees--by Amos listeners than by the general population.
