slang 1,532 Posted July 19, 2022 11 hours ago, paradisetropico said: i’m from Memphis, and that water is VERY dangerous. people have died trying to swim in the mississippi river. it is not a calm river by any means. also Jeff Buckley who she LOVES died in memphis in the River… maybe she’s trying to feel jeff’s spirit or just inspired and dangerous. much to question. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Buckley#Death There are important differences between her swimming and his (other than he died from his). She approaches the river in a swimsuit (Jeff swam with his clothes on). So, there is a kind of premeditation, or personal symbolism, behind her swimming. Also, "Mississippi 0 --- Lana 1" could indirectly reference JB quite a bit, as in blaming Mississippi (River) for JB's death. The river is, if not dangerous to her, at least adversarial. So, there's kind of a defiance vibe to her swimming, too. Hopefully, the celebrity-fixated media ignores the dark overtones in her references and just fixates on the fact that she's wearing a bathing suit (and what type it is), as they usually do. Fun Fact: I learned from the Wikipedia article that "Gods and Monsters" was the name of an NYC band Jeff was with briefly (and then left suddenly, somewhat capriciously?). 13 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe "Mississippi: 0 - Lana:1" means Mississippi river aint got shit on her & couldnt consume her. 3 Quote @WHORE OF TROPICO ⇨ @SALVAWHORE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or Lana asked him to delete it because of all the attention it was getting. 13 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus he deleted some comments from Lana stans in his most recent post, so it does seem to bother him. I think they are fine though. He liked her posts from yesterday after he had already deleted it. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
