  1. the song blue banisters reminds me of a story debra tate told in her recollection book of sharon about the day of the moon landing. I saw the story again yesterday since it was the 52nd anniversary and there’s just this feeling of similarity. I think I compare the two because lana paints this picture of her and her two “sisters” (jenny and nikki) swimming in the pool like in debras story, and there’s also this overwhelming feeling of the comfort u get from family/friends in everyday life for both. The song and debras story are both peaceful and leave off on positive notes, but still have unsettling undertones. 

     

    anyway I pasted @adoringsharon (instagram) caption of the story in spoilers if u wanna read, thanks for reading my random thoughts

    Today, July 20, marks 52 years since the televised Apollo 11 moon landing as well as the last gathering of the Tate family, which took place at Sharon’s Cielo Drive residence. 

     

    Her parents Paul & Doris, and two younger sisters Debra & Patti, all went to the house to be reunited with Sharon following her return from London, where she'd been filming a new movie. 

    There, the three sisters swam together in the pool. Debra brought Sharon a large tractor tyre intertube which she used to float weightless in the water. She'd take naps, and Patti would then excitedly lay her head against her bump to feel the baby moving. 

    “Dad came out of the house and announced it was time. The television broadcast of the moon landing was about to start. We all got out of the pool, put on dry clothes and piled on the bed to watch this unbelievable event unfold. As Apollo 11 settled itself onto the lunar surface, there was a feeling of global unity so palpable that I almost couldn’t hold back my tears. For that brief moment, we seemed at peace.
