Many Tears Ago

Okay I just listened to his music and watched a few of his interviews. His songs are very melodious. He was hot too Not the time guys :/ @Valerie @

I have no clue who this person was, but R.I.P I just went through their Instagram. It's eerie to see that they posted less than a day ago. How tragic.

I stopped listening to most of her unreleased stuff. The use of aave, themes of female objectification, and subtle pedophilia were enough for me to never go back!

2011 Lana was woman hating, upheld gender norms and was mysogynyistic so what's your point?

I scoffed

Everything is fine. Lanaboards.com is perfect. Long live FascistLanaBoards!

choke on your meds please

Even if it _is_ a reference to Harvey (I did look up their pics), that doesn't it's more than just a one liner and that the song is exclusively about him. When you consider the fact she only writes about men who she's had relationships, it's pretty obvious it's more likely written about Arthur Miller, maybe even Gene Campbell. The sky line is in reference to the Beatles, it's not about making him a God. Jesus.

Lmao *you* don't find it interesting to talk about. Okay, but why doesn't Lana apologize? Murder is murder and that song is obviously glamourizing the manson crimes. You're so in bed with this oversensitive, infantilizing rhetoric I don't know why I'm going to bother, but here goes. Your argument is objectively wrong to me because it works on the surmisation that Cola is outwardly about Harvey when it isn't, and nothing in the song points to it being that way. Perhaps you weren't around back then or don't remember, but Lana was very open about the song being based on a comment Barrie James O'Neil made to her in private at the time. This in of itself doesn't disprove your idea, but why would she juxtapose predatorial behavior, or let alone Harvey Weinstein in a song with something that a boyfriend said to her?? Honestly, except for the chorus, I don't believe the song's got anything to do with Barrie but let's be very clear that no matter what Lana says it is about a relationship she experienced herself. The older man theme is based on a specific person who Lana knew when she was young, there's plenty of evidence to support that. Not just that, Lana had the opportunity to say "Yes this song is about Harvey" when she was asked about it during the interview, but she didn't. She said it was about a "Harvey type" character. Not Harvey. So if we're going to start censoring by association alone to save anyone any hurt feelings, why doesn't Lana censor half of her work then? The older man theme is overarching. Censorship for the sake of censorship alone is never a good thing. Lana can do whatever she pleases obviously, and I know her intentions are good but it doesn't change the fact that she's adding to this culture of infatalizing censorship that is intellectually dishonest and literally panders to the lowest common denominator. Literally the name Harvey is mentioned once in the bridge and it's during a goddamn Beatles reference, anyone who's discomforted by that line due to recent events with Harvey Weinstein, assault victim or not, needs to pull their pants up and move along. BTW, is the song about Harvey to you or does it simply imply a person like him? You seem to have said it's both.

Sharon Tate was 8 and a half months pregnant at the time of her murder, btw. Cultural infantalists lose again.

She's cheapening her art by pulling Cola. Is it really because of the Harvey line? Wasn't it "Ah he's in the sky" to begin with? and secondly, it's not even in reference to him so why?? The second an artist begins censoring their work for the comfort of others, appeasing the current zeitgeist, they've lost.

Omg a right wing Graham. Schizophrenia is that bitch!
