“I used to think my preaching was mostly about you…I’ve discovered my preaching is mostly about me.”That’s megachurch megadouche Judah Smith on an interlude track on American girlie Lana Del Rey’s latestrecord, Did you know there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd. The “you” Smith refers to could be his flock of believers, or it could be “You,” the Holy Father, or just as conceivably, “you,” his more down-to-earth daddy.
