I think it's just another round of "the kids aren't alright."

And Sinead's rantism is expected. She shaved her head and dressed in what amounts to burlap sacks because 'I want people to focus on my music, not my beauty'. In addition to being a touch arrogant, that statement implies a coiffed radiance that would sear eyeballs and cause brains to lock up from overload. But okay, if it'll help me to focus on the music then fine. Only, it was a two album span between me knowing who the hell she was and her ripping up a picture of the pope on SNL and disappearing from view. Last I heard before this she was heavy into religion, just not the Popey kind. Her entire career has been a drawn out paean to the fact that she's angry about everything and nothing, and when that's in the music, it's phenomenal. But when it isn't... well... we're wondering what the number is for Bellevue hospital.

For her to take a "the kids aren't alright" view of Miley Cyrus is to ignore the fact that we've been wondering if SHE'S alright for much, much longer.
