Charlotte Lawrence Loves Gracie Abrams and Sad Songs, But Rightfully Hates Men Who Vape
Charlotte Lawrence loves a good, gut-wrenching, sad song. When she sits down with Rolling Stone at Lollapalooza, it's just minutes after she wrapped up her set, which was complete with a number of her own songs that fall into that category. 'Ophelia,' the record Lawrence co-wrote with Gracie Abrams, didn't make it into her set, but reflects that precise feeling. 'She feels like family to me at this point,' says Lawrence, who has been friends with Abrams since they were children. 'And besides the fact that she's literally the nicest, kindest, coolest, funniest, really great, down-to-earth girl — she's also a fucking force and a half and is such a massive talent.'

It was just like, back and forth, one line here, one line there. And we ended up finishing the song in like an hour. And then I brought it to Ben Gibbard, who I also die for and love so much. He made it what it is and helped write this great outro. I'm really proud of that song.' Working with Abrams reminded Lawrence of an interview in which Paul McCartney similarly gushed about being able to work with John Lennon. 'I am not comparing myself at all to the Beatles,' she clarifies, 'but I was thinking about that. Gracie is my friend, and I've known her for so long, but I really do have feelings of like, oh my god, I got to write a song with Gracie Abrams. She's so amazing. I can't believe I have this small part of her big, massive, beautiful career. This is awesome.' McCartney and Lennon have written their fair share of devastating records, as have Lawrence's standout influences, Bon Iver, Sufjan Stevens, and Elliott Smith. These musicians all have gold stars in Lawrence's book, partially because of their work and also because they don't fall into the category of the kind of men she can't stand: the ones who vape. 'Vaping in itself is so nasty and so bad for you, and it hasn't been around long enough for us to actually know the long-term effects — but I think it's gonna kill everybody,' says Lawrence, who used to vape herself but has since quit and therefore has the authority to make this declaration. 'But I think men who vape, you're just a little bitch. Like, look at you sucking on your computer dick, just sucking on your pacifier that has a computer on the screen. Cigarettes are really fucking bad for you, but at least we know what's in them, and at least they're hot. Smoke a fucking cigarette versus trying to smoke your vape and blow Os that smell like cotton candy. Go suck a dick.' { pmcCnx({ settings: { plugins: { pmcAtlasMG: { iabPlcmt: 1, }, pmcCnx: { singleAutoPlay: 'auto' } } }, playerId: "d762a038-c1a2-4e6c-969e-b2f1c9ec6f8a", mediaId: "6c733e1c-93bf-4e6d-a20c-2536ac9bf26a", }).render("connatix_player_6c733e1c-93bf-4e6d-a20c-2536ac9bf26a_1"); }); Best of Rolling Stone Sly and the Family Stone: 20 Essential Songs The 50 Greatest Eminem Songs All 274 of Taylor Swift's Songs, Ranked Solve the daily Crossword

Jimmy Fallon Remixes ‘Somebody That I Used to Know' in Honor of Trump-Musk ‘National Divorce'
Jimmy Fallon is happy to report that Donald Trump and Elon Musk are totally thriving as they move on from their feud. And he has a music video to prove it. 'Well, it seems like Trump and Elon's feud has calmed down a bit. The two still aren't speaking, but they did release this music video today,' Fallon said on Tuesday night. The chords for Gotye's 'Somebody That I Used to Know' then started as 'The Tonight Show' stitched together audio clips of both Musk and Trump singing the lyrics to the breakup anthem. Musk started off the song with 'You didn't have to cut me off' before Trump took it away with 'Make it out like it never happened and that we were nothing.' Musk then chimed back in with 'Guess that I don't need that though' with Trump closing it out with the iconic line 'Now you're just somebody that I used to know.' That isn't the only breakup song joke Fallon had. 'The fallout continues over Trump's national divorce from Elon Musk. And Trump said he's not even thinking about Elon,' Fallon said earlier in his monologue. To prove his point, the comedian shared a sketch that featured 'The Tonight Show's' version of Trump asking if Musk had called, texted, emailed, faxed, poked, slacked or slid into his DMs. After a Secret Service member stoically responds 'no' to Trump's many questions, the sketch showed bright rave-like colors flashing from the windows of the White House as fake Trump sang Robyn's 'Dancing on My Own.' Watch the full opening monologue above. The post Jimmy Fallon Remixes 'Somebody That I Used to Know' in Honor of Trump-Musk 'National Divorce' | Video appeared first on TheWrap.
