Today Is A Good Day

In part because it's a beautiful Monday morning, but MOSTLY because Fiona Apple has announced a new tour. HOOOORAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!

Y'all, I have loved Fiona Apple since I was a wee middle schooler and have yet to see her in concert. I'm pretty sure this is the one thing that might make my life, well at least my musical life, complete. I will definitely be seeing her at the Ryman, but I hope to catch her in a few other cities as well.

These are the cities where she'll be playing this summer [along with their onsale date and time]:

[People are RUDE!!! I would never even utter a whisper at a Fiona Apple show, especially if she were playing new material!]


Now, it wouldn't be Your Friend Lela if we didn't address her looks. I'm not so upset about her thinness because Fiona has always been kind of frail looking [however, she might be able to whoop your ass with those arm muscles], but THIS

HOMEGIRL. First of all, you know better than to wear a scrunchie in your hair! I know you got famous in 1996 when they were all the rage, but this is 2012 honey!! Scrunchies are only to be used when washing your face- it's fashion law! Second of all, can we do something about the hair? Just anything really. Fix the bangs, give it a little color. You know, make yourself looks like you are doing your first show in AGES. That'd be nice.

Ok, now that we have that out of the way, I love you, I looooooove you, Fiona Apple!
