2. And yet, that same song could be considered to be a 3rd wave, porn-ological, "choosy-choice" anthem

Hell, just that one line about who am I to disagree completely relinquishes the notion and responsibility of critical cultural commentary and the right and responsibility for the moral betters to get up-and-in-yer-face to peoples' (so-called ugh ugh eyeroll) personal choice and bizness, amirite?

No, seriously, I'm just not sure what anyone thinks they're going to accomplish with this tidal wave of allegedly well-meaning "concern for" Miley Cyrus (and, in the case of Sinead O'Connor, "concern" that turned immediately on a fucking dime into how dare you hufflepuff-ery)

.... I don't think Miley Cyrus is all that "sexy" in her recent productions, but she's clearly doing what she wants and the more that pisses off the folks who are approximately my age demographic, the MORE popular she's going to get with the people who actually set music trends.

People just don't fucking get it. It's the exact same script that went down with Elvis. Hell, it went down with Socrates. "these kids today!!! aarrgle blarg". Same shit, different... well, always.
