Guns need to be eradicated completely. ​The post millennials are showing what I always thought- it is happening organically, no laws are even needed ​just because some small boys need large toys and having a Republican Slush fund speaking loudly (but having very few members, ​just illegal money funneled) ​and of course, trump spewing lines to divert from the serious and now proven facts against him and his illegitimate coup of America ​No there are no two sides to this. ​There would be zero shootings if there were zero guns. ​Guns and Jesus never saved anyone. Reclassify the lobby group to be a terrorist org. ​Do a money trail ​audit them ​teachers should teach ​and how many more kids would die if teachers having a bad day had a gun and what if a kid got the gun ​and of course, racism... ​what happens when a black teacher shoots someone with a gun and the cops come in ​in the USA, cops shoot to kill blacks, they would shoot to kill the teacher first ask questions later. ​and why does the paranoid obsessive gun owner count more than the vast population and all the kids in the world? ​and btw, why is pence yammering on about abolishing abortion now? Seems to be a diversion too. ​

Born to Die now has 306 weeks the OP is now updated to include the March, 3, 2018 chart.

Most of the names of the artists on that list supposedly naming folk singer, are NOT folk singers ​Some are singer-songwriters Some are protest singers of different eras ​Pete Seeger is the best example of a folk singer, so would Woody Guthrie, Odetta, Joan Baez, and 100s of lesser known artists who ​never had a mainstream hit (Leonard Cohen would be a poet, who played the folk clubs and poetry clubs) ​An acoustic guitar or a piano is a must for a folk singer ​Dylan stopped being one when he went electric ​to be a true folk singer, one has to be truly political. It goes together ​Lana qualifies as a folk singer because folk singers stand at the mic and sing and the emphasis is on the music/lyrics and not on a show ​She is a poet first ​ ​I myself would be happy with a new album of 19 songs like Coachella (which is a folk song) ​Bruce could be considered folk in his solo guitar only albums (Ghost of Tom Joad, etc.) But obviously the E-Street Band albums/stuff is most certainly not folk ​People like Lana, Bruce, (and Elton too going to the progressive rock argument) are in a way penalized in that they are so big, and have ​many styles, yet, anyone who says Elton was not a progressive rocker who knows his Paul Buckmaster produced albums is lying. ​Great thing about the 1960s was radio played everything in their Top 14 (in NYC) and Top 20 in other cities, listen for a few hours ​and you got 14 different styles of music all played one after another. Trouble is the assholes in radio (and curators now)don't think people will tolerate it ​(like the anti-female program directors in rock and country who refuse to play 2 women in a row (possibly it's 10 to 1) because they won't tolerate it ​(Or Bruno Mars at the Grammy's putting down any political or slow song (how many here must love Bruno as they do the same thing) ​and don't want to hear a slow song? ​Meanwhile, on Lust for Life, Elizabeth gave the world an album in 2017 that was akin to the greatest work Brian Wilson & the Wrecking Crew ​or the Beatles/George Martin creations from Sgt Pepper onward ​But again, yes I would be happy with a new album of 19 Coachella type songs.

Feb. 24, 2018 Billboard 200 chart- Born to die now has 305 weeks and now in 18th place and the OP is updated to show it

can you believe the audacity of Criminal Mobsters TrumpInc for saying they welcomed the diversion of the school shooting because they think ​it hid the treasonous scandals Mueller has now proof of. What a cruel heartless monster they are.

Wanna hear something funny White Mustang was my sprint to the restroom song at I think it was 12 concerts (so far) in the last year (including Terminal5) and never missed being back for the next song lol

Coachella is perfect and fuck the continuous haters (aka the stalkers) ​Thank Elizabeth the album did not come out as originally planned with 9 or 10 songs in January of last year, because we the people got a whole extra album with the best songs ​added to the record. ​Do people realize, she is not looking to ask "god" in the song? ​She is looking to ask the question of the little boys with their toys(aka weapons that make up for their shortcomings) ​and yes, I understand people not accepting Coachella, because Lana broke the 4th Wall in doing so and that scares people who only ​want the same thing over and over and over again ​Meanwhile, Coachella was the #1 song of 2017 and one of the single most important landmark songs of all time.

Sorry if the OP is somewhat incoherent....to much driving to concerts the last few weeks ... anyhow Most of the killers in the US school shooting and movie theatres and malls have one thing in common- they also beat their wife, spouse, mate, and kids and also their parents and other friends and relatives. Seems to be some connection between the gun and the power of using it. they always say but but but what can we do well, once the laws are changed, and the weapons are no longer allowed on the streets in any public meeting place or access from the street, we can then send thoughts and prayers to the "little" boys who no longer can use their toys to make up for their shortcomings elsewhere and their constant hate. Maybe they can go bowling. Or play with marbles (another toy that is passe nowadays. Guns and Jesus (What are too things that never saved anyone Alex) Prayers and condolences I hear there will be two major protests against guns and a march on Washington led by friends and family of the kids in Florida who died Meanwhile, draconian Gov. scott is speaking to the NRA to secure their support Hopefully the kids will do what they did when the Neo-Nazi's and KKK marched or spoke at schools and it was like 1000-1 in the number of protesters. at some point will tidy up the OP

My personal opinion is- Lana threw in two red herrings recently (not just one but two). I will leave it to others to decide/decode

Born to Die has 304 weeks on the chart as of the Feb. 17, chart next week Born to die charts, it will equal then surpass the original 1955 Oklahoma movie soundtrack which has 305 weeks and included the legendary Academy Award Winner Shirley Jones in the female lead.) (Shirley later on starred as Mrs. Partridge in the Partridge Family which also starred David Cassidy, her step son) next chart to be released Wed. (as Monday is a US federal holiday pushing the release of the chart to Wed. instead of Tuesday

COACHELLA (this bears repeated sayings so I will continue to repeat this) but again I realize that Coachella scares people, because...

timeline trump first runs for President attempting to get on the Reform Party Line in 2000 (the reform party was Ross Perot's "party" after Perot (who ran vs. Bush41/ Bill Clinton in 1992 and Bill Clinton v Bob Dole 1996) trump exited the race in Feb. 2000 and did not run in 2004 He was a yellow belly coward in 2008 and 2012 knowing he would get his ass whooped by President Obama (Mitt couldn't even get to 47% and in 2016 trump got less % than Mitt did) Dec. 19, 2012 applied for trademark for his MAGA red cap... that is just days after President Obama won reelection and Mitt got his own ass kicked, trump registered for trademark his stupid hat name (maga) already planning on running in 2016 Fully indebted to Putin (interesting is how trump keeps using the word Russia, in that there are many names of places surrounding Russia that someone like the library police would say is not actually ​Russia, but is controlled by Putin as shown in the set of indictments announced by Justice yesterday (13 Russians indicted, but this was but one facet of crimes being looked at. Later in the day more charges were filed against trump friend and confidant & is he also a Russian agent??? Paul Manafort had charges already charged same day as Manafort Rick Gates seemingly has flipped Another shooting with many dead in the latest (as many as 18 so far) school shootings this year, this one again in Florida and immediately the gun lobby group has all the Republicans using the same stock lines (because the NRA knows that gun fanciers vote Republican, and kids tend to not vote Republican (especially those no longer here). Seemingly Mike Pence is deeply involved as one of the conduits between Manafort, Russia, trumpInc interesting too is how trump's lawyers pay off women mega bucks and then have them sign confidentiality statements, and the spin of the Republicans. Meanwhile, just trump statements alone now show trump to have lied, and showed that despite the lies from the spinners of trump and the Republican party spinners, more than obvious it was real and not the hoax trump keeps spewing (something he no longer can spew) (same as trump harping on lies like he only ran for President in 2016, when proof is there Makes one wonder what Mitch McConnell knew as to why else did he hold up Garland's nomination unless he knew the fix is in, same with Ryan. Appears everyone is in cahoots. and showing that Russian Bots were the ones doing those polls after debates that benefited the Republican party and the minor party, and that Russian Bots also propped up bigly time Bernie to make it seem like he actually had a big following Meanwhile the kids in Florida are speaking up against the gun lobby and gun fanciers and maybe this time, it will have a major effect in stopping what most civilized countries in the world have stopped. How many more kids will die before something changes. (common logic- 100% of all shootings in the streets, schools, public meeting places, etc. would be stopped if there were 0 guns. One can't argue with that fact). and the worst thing is, they are going to be more attacks ... and trump's loyalties and silence on doing anything shows him to be the worst of the worst, corrupt, and an abject failure.

Lana now has passed 3 BILLION plays on all youtube outlets and in Germany, Born to Die is 7 times platinum (edit- I originally wrote 300 Million changed it to billions but messed up- it is 3 Billlion not 300 million

He is, like Jorg Haider and his clone Rand Paul and all the Trump deplorable, the personification of the modern day Hitler Youth ​who should be treated as such. ​Why is space on this board being wasted on this deplorable? He and the KKKlan around him should not be given any space at all

Wow, I have been saying this for years... Each of her albums could be a separate show and she could do it, however... ​as for Lynch- problem is, I have come to realize Lynch has NO water and Lana is redeemed (or cleansed) by water and while they are inhabit the same universe they are parallel (and that would also mean relegating control and Elizabeth should have the big credit (ala Elton Lion King) ​It would need NEW songs specifically for the production. And Broadway professionals to not have happen what happened to ​Paul Simon's Capeman. ​and I would want all songs to be great songs (as hers always are), like the older musicals written by Irving Berlin or Rogers & Hammerstein(or Hart). ​Andrew Lloyd Webber always writes ONE or two great songs, but c'mon there is a lot of filler in his musicals. (like Sunset Blvd.)(which the movie was the inspiration for Mulholland Drive) ​as I ©G4A) wrote "Somewhere between Mulholland Drive and Sunset blvd lies Honeymoon)©g4a however, a musical on Honeymoon ​has no background of why Honeymoon existed (the battle for the soul between Elizabeth and Lana But Coachella the Musical would be fantastic. (When is she going to sing it live?(at Coachella?) and perhaps a play/musical about the empowerment of women or how about Michelle Obama the Musical with words and music by Elizabeth Grant & Lin-Manuel Miranda Lana should join the EGOT club one of these days in the future ​

updated to include the new chart- ​Lana has 303 weeks and is now in 19th place. updated to include the new chart- ​Lana has 303 weeks and is now in 19th place.

Deplorable​ trump fan in land of trump where if trump and trumpFamilyInc had their way, women and minorities would have zero rights and be subjected to anything. ​guy looks like the deplorable Florida governor ​why does it seem in recent threads people have sympathy with assassins and killers? ​and no, people should not go to his facebook, should not comment there what are you trying to do, get her harmed? ​and remember, trump is a trapped rat and his buddy Putin stops at nothing at getting rid of in all manner anyone who is against him ​This perp is a terrorist. Like the killer in Florida at the club, and the killer of Versace was.

Just​ put all of them on multi-disc and then take a long car ride if one were able to have every single song available, one probably could go from NY to California and not hear the same version of the same song twice (approx. 50 driving hours averaging 60miles per hour)

​Would love to see Denzel win Best Actor and happy he was the 5th nominee and not Hanks Not quite sure why Oldman is getting a pass considering ALL of his wives (and probably girlfriends) have spoken up about abuse against them from him ​I do think Shape will win Movie/Director (unless Get Out comes out of nowhere to win all 3 Jordan is nominated for) ​and Mary J Blige is a double nominee

Born to Die has 301​ weeks as of the brand new Jan 27, 2018 chart Born to Die at #139 Lust for life at #160

I think the opinions above are probably correct, think there won't be many surprises this year I do think James will be nominated as most people already voted and imho it's one of the best, but wonder if they will get Christopher Plummer to erase all his votes and Tom Hanks will get in (I think Hanks is #6 ) I would say Oldman #1 Chalamet #2 JF #3 Lewis #4 Daniel K #5 if there is an accurate popular vote count. But Oldman is going to win as will and the only question is supporting actress Personally thought Lady Bird is the best movie and Greta should win director (but she won't) How many millions did Moonlight lose last year because they were robbed of the announcement and how many people went to bed not even knowing it won? Wonder if there was more than just a "star struck" accountant announcing it for La La instead of Moonlight (which deserved the award. (wouldn't surprise me if someone like a HW would attempt to sabotage the awards (and also embarrass Warren, who knew something was wrong) It would be fun if Get Out won. (but it won't) Last year Denzel should have won for Fences. (he was robbed and Casey did not deserve it (and in retrospect, if last year were this year, he wouldn't have won). If there were any justice this year, Sam Elliott would be nominated for The Hero.

don't fight with the cops. majority of Philly cops (and NJ turnpike cops) are not your friend

My take on Ride, changing the line "Just one hit song" is now 6 years after Born to Die, playing arenas bigger than ever, 2 #1 albums ​(along with 2 #2 albums) ​ ​" riding the ride ...I had to decide, to play someone's game or live my own life" (which like all great songwriters/poets before her could be taken two ways to let the listener decide, however sometimes one needs a nudge if one isn't seeing it, and her changing the word is that nudge ​She did it HER way not THE way all prior girls were FORCED to do in a 100% misogynist music industry where she kept her vision, ​her ideas, thoughts, words, poems, sounds (so in essence she could end Ride with the coda of "My Way"(changing the pronouns to female and using this as a musical reference) For what is a woman What has she got If not herself, then she has naught To say the things she truly feels and not the words of one who kneels The record shows I took the blows BUT I did it My Way ​ ​because no female singer since perhaps Madonna, has before done what she did, breaking all the rules to come out on top bigger than ever. ​(and being that Sinatra and Elvis were the biggest acts of the 40s/50s and Lana is the best act of the 2000-2018 years and going ​and being that she herself has mentioned The Sinatra family and Elvis prior) ​(and almost all the current female singers are still on the #1 hit merry-go-round or trying to be the next of them) not to mention- ​I like her statement today about the women marches and the walls that are being broken. ​

to repeat what I have said before (and just to start with Born to Die... ​When Born to Die came out, instantly became the greatest album ever and no way she would be able to top it ​then came Paradise, (Ride, American, Gods and Monsters) and ain't no way she would be able to top it ​and then came Ultraviolence (West Coast, Shades, Brooklyn Baby) and no way she would be able to top it ​and then came Honeymoon (and the Elizabeth-Lana duel for the soul) and no way she would be able to top it ​and then came Lust for LIfe (COACHELLA COACHELLA COACHELLA) and no way she would top it.. and then came... ​300 weeks on the chart 6 years old Jan. 27 and perhaps last night of all the shows I have seen, last night in NJ might have been the best glad this thread was bumped back up to celebrate the 6th anniversary of the album that (after the hundreds of songs she already had before) started Lana Del Rey.

​WOW this might have been best show I have ever seen (by anyone) ​Her voice has never been better and Elizabeth said COACHELLA was one of the 3 songs she was MOST PROUD OF from Lust for Life (I was secretly hoping next she would have said for Graham... Elizabeth I am proud of you for Coachella, the #1 song of 2017, and one of the 20 greatest songs of all time YAYO now we all know (and here I figured I was the only one who heard) glad the people with me last night were there to see this. Think one is going to be a lifetime fan now but perhaps my favorite song of the night was HONEYMOON
