"Money Is The Anthem...of Success. So Before We Go Out, What's Your Address?"

I happened to come across artist, Lana Del Rey about a couple of months ago when I clicked on her Born To Die video while I was surfing YouTube. The title and dramatic sound of the song caught my attention. But it wasn't until I heard her song Blue Jeans that I cared enough to research more of her music. I Love it, her sound is Ironic, an angelic voice reciting cut-throat lyrics (which she happens to write herself). Half of the time when I'm listening to the lyrics of her songs, I'm thinking, "Wait, did she really just say that?!".It's actually pretty funny when you think about it, with an undertone of gloom. Which is what makes her music that much more interesting to listen to. Not your typical, bubble gum princess-pretty girl meaningless banter that most mainstream female artists offer nowadays.
When I Google searched Lana's name I noticed that most of the articles featured, were of people criticizing and bashing her style, her lips (claims of having collagen induced lips), and calling her fake due to the fact that she changed her real name, Lizzie Grant to Lana Del Rey to create a stage persona. My opinion on all of that: So What?!  I think people need to ease up on the hater-ade and really appreciate her work.
Have we forgotten that so many famous and influential artists' rise to fame has been through creating a stage persona? i.e. David Bowie, Madonna, Iggy Pop, Lady GaGa, Bob Dylan,etc. etc. And who cares if her lips are collagen injected or not? What matters here is her raw talent, her lyrics, her sound, her voice. It's rare, especially in today's music industry that seems to be filled with hollowed-out emotion.
Anyhow I posted this video, "National Anthem" because I find it catchy, and humorous in a satirical sense. I believe that this song is poking fun of the "American Dream". The fast life, the money, the cars, the diamonds, the drugs, the sex. The chorus repeats "Money is the anthem, of Success". When I hear this song, I can't help but be reminded of  the cult classic film, "Scarface".
