That's the most hilarious thing about all of this. When you summarise everything that is going on around Miley Cyrus in 2013 the last thing anything seems to want to talk about is her music. It's an afterthought. I know that's staggeringly obvious even perhaps to many of her own fans but I'm going to play arch cynic as usual here and point out the sheer hilarity of it.
Her music is just background hum to this awfully substance devoid, kitch campaign to get her total lack of a personality over. Regardless of how much she enjoys what she is doing she's ultimately the end product of a much larger arm that is here to sell sex and fragrances to people who often stay isolated and insecure in their bedrooms because they wish they were more brave and audacious like Miley.
If you're grown up, tuned in and like the mindless escapism of it all then indulge but rest assured there is nothing positive here for anybody's children. I applaud Sinead's letter. It's a total stab of fresh air that has managed to pierce the curtain and that should be heralded as a very, very good thing by all but the dullest of fools who will somehow once again ignore substance and chalk it up to Sinead wanting to be relevant or some other such dog eared excuse to lambast it.
Sinead's a total berry, obviously, but nobody can deny her status as an artist and I've always thought that she has a fundamentally good soul.
So yeah, good thing. Now get out of it when you can.
