IS SHE LIVIN' ON THE AIR IN CINCINNATI, CINCINNATI, WKRP? Ann Althouse wonders whatever happened to Fiona Apple, whose third album has been indefinitely shelved by her record label. Her first album, "Tidal," is one of my favorites, as is her cover of "Across The Universe" from the "Pleasantville" soundtrack, though her second album "When The Pawn..." (I refuse to type the full 70 word title), is rather pretentious and more than a bit of a mess. Of course, I knew something was up when I went to this quasi-legendary show featuring a likely coked out of her gourd Apple shouting at the sound system, an inexplicable appearance by Jimmy Fallon, and a "five minute break" that still seems to be going on. Apple obviously has some issues that need sorting out, and dating this guy is probably not the best way to deal with that.
