Row Your Boat

Fiona Apple at the Tower Theater in Philadelphia last night was outrageous. All tendon and bone, limbs swinging off the hinge of her spine to the rhythm of a ship tossed in a storm. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen, except for & including a silt layer of guilt, wondering how turning herself inside out like that couldn’t possibly be painful, or damaging. She really molts through each song and leaves you with a thin layer of skin. Can’t say enough about it, it was terrifying and dark and beautiful.
