Meet Shameika Stepney, Inspiration to Fiona Apple on Fetch the Bolt Cutters
Fiona Apple wrote a song about a girl called Shameika who stood up to bullies on her behalf, based on a half remembered childhood experience. As a result the two women met again after 30 years and did a remix together because they both became musicians.
I already liked the song, having only a vague sense what it was about, so find this really charming. I found this article linked from an Interview with Fiona Apple where she talks, amongst other things, about being really into tumblr.
