Lana studied Philosophy at Fordham. She's an intellectual; there is absolutely no way she didn't know who Joni Mitchell was.

Courtney love always takes credit for people that are far more talented than hers accomplishments, this is nothing new

Courtney Love definitely has a Lana Boards account and is seeing us talk shit about her right now😭

From Courtney Love’s interview:

Love also claimed she introduced Lana Del Rey to the music of Joni Mitchell. “She described a record she wanted to make to me, and I’m like, ‘Oh you mean Hissing Of Summer Lawns,’ which, I don’t even like that record. She’s like, ‘what’s that?’ I’m like, ‘It’s a Joni Mitchell record.’ She’s like, ‘Who’s that?'” “Wow,” Maron interjects. Love: “I know.” Love said that she got her friend “all the Joni” vinyl at a Portland record store after which Lana “changed her ******* whole thing.”

 
I’m guessing it’s the change came with NFR

Then Love’s got bad taste because ‘The Hissing of Summer Lawns’ is a brilliant masterpiece, an artist’s artist of a record.

RIGHT.  Just listen to her very old songs like Fordham Road and Blizzard, she was already writing conversational songs back then

There is literally no way Lana didn't know who Joni Mitchell was

tbh I think this is a big lie, because if Lana only knew Joni's music after recording VB and MAC in 2018, she wouldn't have done Bartender in 2017 (non conventional structure and the "ladies of the canyon" lyric...) no way Lana didn't know who Joni Mitchell is lol

I listened to the podcast and it sounded like this was when they were on tour together in 2015. I still find it hard to believe that Lana didn’t know who Joni was though. 

[PatentLeatherDoOver 25,783]

 

well, she’s known since at least 2017. who knows

[Deleted Member 23,729]

courtney’s just mad because lana dated jack donoghue (courtney’s ex too), there’s no way lana was a part of the NYC music scenes she was without ever listening to joni

i messaged this one girl that was at svetas wedding (lanas close friend) and she said lana and mike were together the whole night (this was november 2021) and they were "kissing and hugging", so yeah. if i find her tik tok ill post it here bc there's videos of them cuddling.

i don’t like to talk too much about lana’s personal life especially when it comes to dating because that’s not really my place BUT i did just want to say how nice it seems that lana is continuing to stay friendly with her more of her exes recently (Jack D, Mike, Barrie again). it seems like some of her previous relationships have ended pretty tumultuously considering we never saw or heard of a few men ever again after they split. i’m sure that’s nice for her :’)

At least Courtney also called her a musical genius 

[Deleted Member 23,729]

although I do remember Lana saying during the Blue Banisters livestream that she had never listened to the entire For the Roses album by Joni which surprised me because despite not being as popular as say Blue or Court and Spark, that album came out when Joni was at her peak. i can’t believe Lana possibly hasn’t heard Woman of Heart and Mind, she would eat that song UP

I love Courtney Love to death but there’s no way she introduced Lana to Joni Mitchell…Lana first mentioned Joni Mitchell in this 2014 interview and stated in this 2019 interview that she heard Joni’s name brought up constantly and “didn’t really start listening to too much of it until college”, which would’ve been well before she met Courtney.

Lana probably played a little stupid with CL; they may not have known one another well at that time, or who knows what Lana’s specific motivations were for playing stupid about JM in that moment, if it even happened at all. 

[Vertimus 9,681]

Also, nothing Lana has released sounds ANYTHING like ‘The Hissing of Summer Lawns,’ even though neither LDR or CL said Lana’s released work did.

Based on the credits it has to be something from NFR onwards or maybe an old laptop demo that doesn't have any cowriter attached 

Cause even if it's subtle I'm sure Lana would credit the people that originally worked on the song 

 

i'm late here but BOZ said there's nothing old reworked here, so take that as whatever thats supposed to mean lmao

when did she break up with Jack?

just listened to the podcast.. courtney alluding to lana's sobriety on a podcast is bizarre to say the least
