Is fiona apple gay
While I'm devoting my blog to the letters of Fiona Apple today, I might as well divide this one that she wrote to me.
I met her very briefly before a show back in 2000, only a couple days after that Roseland meltdown, and I handed her a letter wherein I told her I was in my school's gay-straight alliance and was wondering if she would write a sentence or two of support. "Could you say some pleasant stuff about gay people?", basically.
Quite frankly, 16-year-old me was much more interested in interacting with a celebrity than building an alliance between gays and straights, but Fiona took me at my synonyms and wrote me this really sweet letter. The show was on a Friday, and I got this via FedEx the following Tuesday, and she even apologizes for it taking so long. For much of the 12 years that have passed since these events transpired, this has been the most exciting thing that has ever happened to me.
I've met her a couple times since, but I never got a chance thank her for taking some time out and being so thoughtful, especially for a lonely weirdo like me. Maybe someday.
Hello Bill,
I got your letter a few days ago, but this is the first chance I&#x
FIONA APPLE
How She Made Me Give A F***

I'm supposed to be covering Unused West Fest and Bohemian Nights. I should be extolling the virtues of the man who makes this amazing and free 3-day music festival in Old Town Fort Collins, Colorado and the free Thursday night shows achievable. I should do that, but I do not particularly feel like writing about the accomplishments of a man right now, especially after November 8th.In 1997, Fiona Apple won the MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist in a Video and she used that opportunity to comment on the superficiality of fame. She prefaced her remarks with an apology to those she would normally be thanking during her speech but recognized that she needed to use the opportunity that she had been given to speak honestly, openly, and in usual Fiona fashion, caustically. She was talking about the false glamor of fame and how inconsequential the opinions of empowered stars should be to the rest of us when she leaned into the microphone and said "This world is bullshit." We didn't listen to her. We continued to assess that fame and camera time equaled competence and worth. Fiona Apple gave me
In a recent New Yorker profile, Fiona Apple enable writer Emily Nussbaum into her home, into her creative process, and in an uncharacteristically transparent action, into her life. The mercurial songwriter has been known to take elongated periods between albums; the result is that every piece of music she has ever released has been a painstakingly specific, devastating emotional blow to me personally. What follows is a fascinating portrait of Apple’s life, past and present, with a few… Easter eggs?
Look, I’m not saying Fiona Apple is queer, and neither is she. I would never dare to presume anything about the lady who has single-handedly guided me through every breakup I’ve ever had; she knows her own heart (and all hearts) far better than I could ever imagine. She has a right to privacy, and to name her own sexuality however she chooses. What I can say is that this New Yorker article is littered with what feels like clues, and I am a detective who currently has nothing excel to do.
Apple’s public relationships have been fascinating; she famously dated the magician David Blaine, the filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson and the writer Jonathan Ames. Of course, sh
After seeing the show I really admire Fiona's ability to restrain herself, and to cope with things... Frankly... I would have gone psycho and shoved the mic down his throat... now we all realize why the guests are seated all the way over there... Anyway, here's some highlights.
"I got in this job so that I could express whatever I want to say whenever I crave to say it..."
There was alot of discussion about the MTV Video Music Awards. I'm not sure how old this episode is...
She said that she really didn't appreciate Chris Rock with his anorexic joke.
She sais that she doesn't look anorexic anymore because she's gained some weight.
About her speech, she says that she was stifled up and didn't say it right. They then played the video, despite Fiona's protests. They really began picking at her about how she shouldn't take everything so seriously, and how she should just enjoy herself, and she got really agitated. At one moment she said something enjoy they were was
