The Drudge Report site's obsession with this fringe artist is odd and somewhat questionable... Is Del Rey paying somebody for space on the DRUDGE REPORT page? Frankly, until blurbs on her started appearing on the Drudge Report I had never heard of this fringe artist EVER! And I'm pretty sure most of you hadn't either.

During the late 50's and early 60's they referred to radio stations being 'paid' to play artist songs as Payola... It was a massive scandal in the day. One can only wonder... Is the Drudge Report being paid to put blurbs on their page?

Never heart of her, nor her song, but it is TRUE! AMERICA (and CANADA, and, in fact, the WORLD) NEEDS A MIRACLE!

Drudge sold Drudge Report long ago. Who owns it now?

Did a search to see who she was.

Appears she’s single-handedly keeping the mascara industry alive. Must buy it in gallon jugs and put it on with a trowel.

I abandoned drudge when drudge abandoned America. I won’t promote this jerks wokeness. He’s a never Trumper and helped this thief in chief steal this country.

Drudge sold his site didn’t he?

Now it’s just some leftist rage like so much else of the so-called “news” media, yes?

TBH, I’m more aware of her than Drudge.

I also noticed his massive promotion of her over the years. It could be payola, but I suspect they just became friends and he decided to use his site to promote his friend. Why just her otherwise?

I could listen to her music all day long. She has a beautiful voice. Yes, the lyrics are sometimes out there as are the videos. But my understanding is that IRL she is nothing like that. And it’s Lana, not Ana.

I liked Lana Del Rey’s first two albums a lot. So much of today’s music is crap; I found her different and refreshing. I guess it was kind of a phase for me, as I have not heard her more recent material. I have no idea about the Drudge thing. Maybe he just thinks she’s hot or something, who knows. Drudge “jumped the shark” years ago; I totally lost interest in him.

I’m a big fan of hers. Her music is evocative of a kind of 1950s fantasy California feeling, with a bit of sadness thrown in. She really can sing, and her lyrics aren’t empty-headed drivel…lots of references to culture, literature, and history. She also seems to be pro-America based on some bits of lyrics. I know she took a lot of flak a while ago for dating a cop when ACAB was in full swing.

Go on YouTube and listen to Summertime Sadness, Born to Die, Ride, American, Venice Bitch, and Let Me Love You Like a Woman for a good sampling of her stuff over the past few years. Excuse the occasional profane word/expression.
