I just really love Fiona Apple.

I am still in shock that I was this close to Fiona Apple a few nights ago. She sounded incredible, and she seemed much happier and healthier than when I saw her back in 2006. By that, I mean there was less incomprehensible screaming during instrumental breaks, and a lot more smiling and joking with the audience. It's amazing to have Fiona making a comeback, but even better to see that she seems to be enjoying herself as well.

Somewhere in these videos, I am fighting the conflicting urges to bawl my eyes out and shriek with happiness. Did this all really happen, or did I dream it?
