\"FionaFiona Apple took the stage in Houston, Texas last night for a\u00a0performance, but before the music began, she had an elephant in the room to address: this week’s arrest<\/a> and overnight incarceration in\u00a0Sierra Blanca, TX. Usually we stick to the tunes around here, but given how much we adore the many great kiss-off lyrics in Apple’s catalog, her scathing,\u00a0decidedly\u00a0cryptic reaction seems appropriate to the conversation. (Who knows, perhaps this event might end up in a song one day.) First, though, Fiona has an apology for “the guy who runs the jail.”<\/p>\n

If I may do a review… The guy, he’s a real decent guy, he’s a good guy. I want to apologize to him. I’m not going to say his name because I know he’s not interested in fame or anything like that. He takes pride in what he does. He is\u00a0respected\u00a0by his fellow workers. I only met him yesterday morning and I’m apologizing to him for being…\u00a0attitude-y… and saying that I didn’t trust him — ’cause I didn’t — \u00a0but by the end of the day I did.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As for “four of you out there,” however, Apple has harsher words:<\/p>\n

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. I got two lock boxes — we’ll call them Holding Cell 1 and Holding Cell 2. In Holding Cell 1 is the encoded version of the shit that you did that I know isn’t appropriate, and probably illegal. In Holding Cell 2\u00a0is 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 that 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 anytime you ask and I’ll open up those boxes. Until then, stay in your fucking holding cell.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
