rightofjupiter 16,619 Posted October 11, 2023 so so nice to see lana so happy about her career again– esp live performance. not crazy about most of the setlist recently BUT she is really feeling being back on stage, putting real effort into vocals, and it's just so lovely to see her enjoy the fruits of so many years of making art again. 11 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rivers 990 Posted October 11, 2023 One last thing about Joan. Sorry..🥴 She was the original Madonna of music. She was basically a quaker, didn't do drugs, didn't have sex, always bare foot, no makeup, etc, yet, YET! They would say she was a whore and a demon! They called her the Madonna of Greenwich village. It was so paradoxical what was said about her and who she was. She was playing guitar in this fantastical way, and singing strangely, and Bob couldn't believe it, or ever copy what she did, yet she was considered just " bobs girlfriend". It was crazy what she went. She was going to jail for protesting multiple times. ( What music artist today would go to jail for protesting?) Was one of the first popular people to protest the Vietnam war and refuse to give the IRS money which sparked a huge anti war movement.she promoted pacifism. She did so much and got no credit for it for many many years. 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She was just 24 when she sang this live. It's a beautiful (sad) folksong. Her voice just gives me tingles here. It's a song she wrote for her sister Mimi and Mimi's husband, telling their love story. It's written so beautifully that it makes me cry and believe in true love again. A modern folk song that became a huge hit in the U.K. (in the 60s) My Mum used to play it a lot and she would use the expression "There but for fortune go I" in reference to all the injustices in the world Her most famous song, but it really is worth mentioning for a reason. This was written by her, not a folk song. Lana sung it in a duet with Joan. I think she also referenced the song in Blue Banisters, when she said "Except that one thing, the diamonds, the rust, and the rain." 9 Quote The cicadas in the sunset are your guide Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
