“You feed the beast I have within me
You wave the red flag, baby you make it run run run
Standing on the sidelines, waving and grinning
You fondle my trigger, then you blame my gun”
- Fiona Apple on “Limp”
At a Pride rally in Nashville, Tenn., June 19, Vanessa Carlton announced she was happily bisexual. This is the first time the singer publicly announced her sexuality, saying, “I’ve never said this before, but I am a proud bisexual woman.”
Carlton is most notable for walking those thousands of miles and crooning over teenage angst and white houses, with her last album, Heroes & Thieves, released in 2007.
