True. I watch Project Runway and the judges usually love everything that I don't. I don't know fashion though so that's not saying much.

Since there is talk of covers I bumped in to this. Laurel Canyon Lana. https://www.deviantart.com/stueydee/art/Lana-Del-Rey-Born-To-Die-288622265

I know I'm getting seasick. I think I need some Dramamine.

Yes! I became a fan barely post SNL. I had heard Video Games but was not as familiar as maybe some of you were back then. I didn't see that performance but read about it and the backlash. I listened to other songs got the album and became a fan. Obsessed almost. On a daily basis I would Google her name and it was astonishing the amount of articles that were written about her. Not just reviewers from music publications but scholarly types putting Lana in as the target of some cultural crossroads that needed to be examined in depth. I am not exaggerating when I say it was truly unbelievable the amount af attention she got for a person that released "1" album. I will never understand it and some day sociologists or someone will look back and unwind all the minutiae to make sense of it. BUT that was then!!! Lana to her credit, God Bless Her, didn't fold and become a one hit wonder or one hit blunder. With her own determination and our support she came through and has created an amazing and solid body of work. So, why now this whole outburst in the past few days. Easy for me to say let it go but she has lived it. Maybe the scars she got early on just won't heal. I have to let go actually! Sorry for my outburst. (I will be releasing a poem shortly)

2020 is a leap year. There was an extra day in February so every day after gets pushed ahead one day. In 2019 Sept. 5th fell on a Thursday. If this was a normal year that day would fall on Friday this year. Lana believes that leap years don't exist and are part of a much deeper conspiracy based on control by the unseen and unknown. Her calendar has Sept. 5th as a Friday. The album will be released on Saturday.

Need to add to the list. You think of yourself as a glamorous person and let people know that. That was one of the oddest statements of that first post.

That's good. I will put a twist in it. “(with your) chem trails over the country club gate. you wouldn’t love women if it wasn’t for hate.” Ha-ha it sounds like it means something deep but I don't think it does.

I did this with my phone so be gentle. Just an idea. Lana and rockets. https://www.instagram.com/p/CAnjs-4HmNj/

I play golf and some courses have young woman riding around with a food cart and they are always gorgeous! I always tip them.

:facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:

Hopefully some media outlet doesn't misconstrue and has a headline, "Lana Del Rey shares poem from behind the iron gates of an institution".

I hope there is only one release from the album before it drops. If I'm not mistaken there were 4 from NFR and to me that kind of dilutes the impact of the release of the final product.

2. Black Balloons Sounds real!

I thought oh we're going to make all the way through smoothly, and then boom.

Good one but be nice.

If you click on TBA by her name on Sept 5th it just links to the story a few days ago. Their source is Lana not the record company.

Good morning! The good, the bad and the truth! When I first saw her talking stripped bare of the Lana essentials of hair and makeup, I got nervous that we may see a bizarre irrational rant like someone with some mental illness in the middle of an episode. Or at the very least that she might sound medicated, not high or on drugs but medicated. After watching the whole thing I don't think either was the case. That's good. Unfortunately the rant is a bit scattered and and I don't know if the world has been calling Lana to task on these things (pre initial meltdown) especially lately. So odd at this point that stripper girl, bad girl, broken girl, runaway girl, younger woman etc. thing is still so important to her. The kaleidoscope of what it is to be human and specifically a woman is so much larger than these themes she is obsessed with. "The difference is when I get on the pole people call me a whore, but when Twigs gets on the pole it’s art." Is this actually a concern at this point?? The point may be valid but Lana gets a ton of respect in the world and for those that don't give her respect fuck off. This is the bad. The truth is it really is like the Wizard of Oz. It's all right here in front of her and she can't see it. Millions of people genuinely love her work, buy her albums and pay to see her in concert. Why are the opinions of some alt singers or critics more important than ours!! Let us love you. I have a top secret connection that told me this in confidence. When told her next album was to be called "Chemtrails Over the Country Club" the record company, management, everyone all breathed a sigh of relief. Then Lana showed them a basic mock up for the cover with the title. "Chemtrails over the Cuntry Club"

Yes it's 6:15 am for me. It's a holiday and I am looking at my phone. I haven't even listened to the whole thing but am still floored. Maybe I can get back to sleep and log in to my computer later. Maybe this is a dream. I hope so. If you're in my dream I'm sorry.

You didn't hear. Earlier Lana and Chuck rented a helicopter for a tour around Los Angeles and it was coming up the coast over the ocean. Just when they got to Malibu the helicopter had engine trouble and they had to put down in the ocean!! They were missing for like 2 hours. It was all over the news. The Coast Guard finally found them and they were safe thank God. When the boat got to shore there were reporters and police and as Lana and Chuck were getting off a policeman or someone was giving them a hand and said, "Are you ladies OK?" Lana went OFF! "Ladies, we're not ladies, we're women. Grown up adult women! So back off you ignorant motherfucker!" Then there was silence. It was so quiet you could hear the last snowflake hit the ground at the end of a blizzard. OK don't be mad, I made that whole thing up but the fact that you might have believed it just for a moment shows us where we're at.

This is really, really cute. Look at her right hand. I guess she's holding the mike but the way her hand is bent forward she looks like a little kid, "I got my SpongeBob".

That's the greatest story. Something I am more likely to do.

Just so you know if you didn't already I have a YouTube channel with 40 something videos of me talking to Lana. (a cardboard cutout and low quality by YT standards) It's over 5 years old and the last one I did was from the Jones Beach show so I am a little behind. I have always been concerned about someone stumbling on to the channel and thinking this guys nuts, tell Lana! I have had some comments like that over the years but no harm. When her car and house were broken in to a few years back I made it clear up front that I am a fan and completely stable. (more or less) That I have no delusions about my relationship with her. Please if you see one don't report me as a threat. Thank you.

With Lana an album/book in the hand is worth 20 that she teased.

Beautiful. If this singer songwriter thing doesn't work out she could always get a job doing audio books.

I don't know the context of the quote from Sylvia Plath but I find it heartbreaking, sad.
