Fiona Apple

On December 18, 2016, Fiona Apple delivered a powerful live performance of "Money Changes Everything" at the We Stand for Standing Rock benefit concert in Los Angeles. This performance came shortly after the release of her critically acclaimed album, "The Idler Wheel..." in 2012, which showcased her unique blend of raw emotion and intricate songwriting. ‘The Idler Wheel...’ was a significant comeback, demonstrating her artistic evolution after a lengthy hiatus. Apple’s performance in 2016 served not just as a showcase of her musical talent, but also as a heartfelt plea for social justice, reflecting her commitment to activism. It was an emotional moment, marked by the urgency of the Standing Rock protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline, which aligned with her deep-rooted beliefs and passion for advocacy. It’s a vivid reminder of how art and activism can intertwine, don’t you think?
