Just when you decide people are completely rotten…
…someone comes along and does something pretty noble:
Fiona Apple Cancels Tour to Care for Her Dying Dog
Short version: she cancelled her tour, but read the letter she wrote to her fans announcing it.
(Hat tip: Scissorhead Moeman and Dogster)

Wow. And ouch. Thanks, Moeman.
I like how this made me feel inside, I did not mind the tears, as they reminded me that I too have a heart. Let the love flow.
One of the few artists that will get me off of my butt to go to a brick and mortar store to buy their new album. I will cetainly do it again now.
That’s one fine, talented and special human being. I sort-of knew that about her, just from the depth and realness of her extraordinary music, but this clinches it.
Peace and a Pleasant Journey to Janet, and solace to Fiona. See you when it works for you, My Human Hero.
