Early voting is in full swing, and Fiona Apple’s encouraging people to go out and vote the best way she knows how: through song.
Apple’s good friend Zelda Hallman shared a video on Instagram of the singer-songwriter singing George and Ira Gershwin’s “Bidin’ My Time,” from their 1930 musical Girl Crazy – a sly endorsement to the Democratic nominee Joe Biden — and holding up her “I Voted” sticker. The post is simply captioned “Vote.”
It’s no surprise Apple voted for the more progressive candidate. She recently narrated a short film that demonstrates how to document ICE arrests, campaigned to help indigenous groups fight COVID-19, and pledged to donate two years of TV and movie placement royalties from Fetch the Bolt Cutters tracks “Heavy Balloon” and “Shameika” to various charities.
