Do what I do when I make a mistake: double down!
A lot of people probably don't think I'm a Saturday Night Live fan. And it's true, I'm not. I mean, I was ON Saturday Night Live? And there's that whole thing with Tina Fey obviously. But I don't really get the humor, and it's on way too late for a working mom like me. Who can stay up that late anymore?But last Saturday I happened to wake up in the middle of the night and I couldn't get back to sleep. (I had this weird dream where the bearskin rug in our living room came back to life and was chiding me for solving my problems with violence instead of diplomacy. Where did THAT come from?) I didn't want to wake up the rest of the house, because I knew they would start whining and asking for stuff. So I bundled up and trotted over to our private television studio that we built in the outbuilding across the yard.
That Harry Potter kid was the guest host, and I watched a couple sketches, and I gotta admit, it was just confusing as heck. You know what's funny? Larry the Cable Guy! And that fella with the ventriloquist dummies, like the dead terrorist skeleton dude? Love! It! That's a clean humor, and it's a pro-America humor, and it's a great example of how America can win the hearts and minds of the world. America!!!
Anyway! Then they had their musical guest, and I didn't know this Lana Del Rey lady from Adam, but she sure looked like she was having trouble up there. It's not my kinda music, I like the rock and roll, classic stuff, Journey and Tim McGraw and Faith Hill and REO Speedwagon. You know me! Heartland! America!
People call Lana Del Rey "ethereal" and "addictive" and "dream-like," and I don't know about that. But I sure do know about bombing on the public scene. They are really tearing into this gal. Someone said it looked like she was doing "the pee pee dance."
Now I'll tell ya, a lot of folks are saying you should give Lana Del Rey another chance, that her SNL performance was just a bad fluke, and the original version of her song is a lot better. But you know what I say? I say double down! Embrace it! Lana Del Rey should start ALWAYS doing the pee pee dance! Heck, maybe she should actually pee pee on stage!
Remember, Lana: there are no mistakes. Just things you didn't realize were right until way later, or until your fans update the Wikipedia page to make it true.
