Lana meets fans in Melbourne

Recommended Posts

I don't know if this is the right place to post this video I just saw on Tumblr, but I wanted to share it here:

I never cease to be amazed at how genuinely kind and sweet Lana is! I think it's something to highlight, especially as the novelty effect of her stardom has probably worn off, but she still keeps that smile and warm heart, with an appreciative attitude and an open, present disposition. I really think she possesses the virtue of compassion, which is sadly so rare nowadays. Not many famous - heck, non-famous! - people are this nice. I had one good encounter and that was with bearded troubadour Devendra Banhart (he was lovely), but most stars are bitches. Disaffected irony is overrated.

HOLY SHIT YOU MET DEVENDRA BANHART?!?!?!?

 

yes!!! you know, the other day i was going to say i could totally see you with devendra, but i assumed you might not have been aware of who he was! i should have known! ;)

he played here in buenos aires in 2006 (for the "cripple crow" tour) and after the show, he just walked off stage and into the crowd, naturally, saying hi to people that came up to him, chatting and drinking beer. he was so warm and open and accesible that i mustered the courage to go up to him (he was so charismatic and awesome that even guys were fangirling! ^_^)...he was truly adorable! i told him how much i loved his music (how original! :/) and he hugged and kissed me (he smelled sooo good!) and when i asked him if it was OK to take a picture (which was an embarassing request in that context, cuz he was so effortless and acting *his kind of* normal), he said, "claro que sí, bella" ("of course, beautiful" - he speaks perfect spanish) in a really sweet way, and he put his arm around my shoulder and i almost died of happiness. to top an unforgettable moment, since the local concert promoters charged so much for tickets, when he found out he was outraged, so he started passing the info through word of mouth - to me, amongst others - that a couple of hours later he would play a free, smaller show at a nearby bar, and he did! i can tell you it was magical ♥ he is a truly magnetic man *sigh*

unfortunately, after he shaved his beard, he kind of lost his mojo and his music has suffered, too :( but i don't lose hope that he'll return to top form - and that you'll get to meet him too, maru! i told you the story so that if you ever bump into him, be your fabulous self and talk to him! :D

sorry, everyone else, for the off topic comment :blush: but it is related in how affecting it can be when someone you admire is nice - fingers crossed that we all will get to meet our dear lizzy lana!!

This video literally made my week. The day she tours in my city/near my city, I'm gonna try my damnedest to go so I can meet her and take a picture with her. She's the only artist out there that actually gives a ton of shit about her fans. Sure, there's Gaga but you don't see her doing this stuff all the time like Lana. & I know I'm gonna get replies like "Well gaga has a bigger fan base" this is true, but idc.

Omg she's so freaking cute! And he started crying... bless him. Any second now i expect her to do the 'They love me, they really love me!' speech.

 

 

I don't think i would cry, but all these people that -do- cry make me worry something would overcome me, and I would feel like a total knob. But i want my deluxe box signed!
