Fiona Apple’s moving farewell to her dog

Wed, 21 Nov 2012 16:02:00 +0000

If you've ever loved an animal, you know. You know, because you've probably lost one. Watched that funny creature who drove you crazy and destroyed your clothes and had bad breath and was so damn happy whenever you walked through the door slow down. You saw her reject her food, and heard her make strange, sad sounds you'd never heard before. And then one day you had to take her to the vet, knowing she wouldn't come home, or you came in from work and found her there in her favorite spot, quiet and still. That's why, whether you're a fan of Fiona Apple's music or not, you likely understand all too well her request to her fans "to change our plans and meet a little while later."

On Tuesday, Apple, a woman never at a loss for words, posted a copy of a four-page, handwritten letter on her Facebook page. In it, she explained her decision to postpone the South American dates of her current tour to be with her dog as she nears the end of her life.

Fiona Apple and her captors: The saga begins

Mon, 24 Sep 2012 21:05:00 +0000

After being held overnight on $10,000 bail in a Texas county jail cell Thursday, singer Fiona Apple narrated for a Houston audience, a cryptic version of her experience after her arrest:

Now, most of the people were very nice to me. There are four of you out there, and I want you to know that I heard everything you did. I wrote it all down with your names and everything you did and said stupidly thinking that I couldn’t hear or see you. I then ripped the paper up, but not before I encoded it and– I got two lock boxes. We’ll call them 'holding cell one' and 'holding cell two.' In 'holding cell one' is the encoded version of the shit that you did that I know was inappropriate and probably illegal. In 'holding cell two' is the decoder. I’m the only one who holds the key, and you and I will be intimate forever because I will hold that secret forever. Unless of course the celebrity that you had so much interest in but you wanted to accuse me of bringing up while you laughed at me all night? Unless you’re interested in being a celebrity, I’ll make you fucking famous any time you ask and I’ll open those boxes. So why don’t you stay in your fucking holding cell?
