Dear Miley Cyrus,
As someone who took in the spectacle that is the MTV Music
Video Awards like millions of people around the globe I to was witness to the
next great celebrity train wreck…..Miley Cyrus. Yes, that same Miley Cyrus who
parent’s have made very wealthy with their numerous purchases of anything and
everything Hannah Montana for their children are now cringing at the fact that
the former Disney protégée is now singing about the hippie lettuce and molly
while grinding against a married man dressed in the Men’s Warehouse latest “Beetle
Juice” line of clothing. People have reacted in shock and anger at the antics
of the latest Mouseketeer to go off the deep end once she was exposed to the
freedom of adulthood. I want to let you in on something…..Miley Cyrus is not a
role model. She is a 20 year old kid who is making the same mistakes that a lot
of kids do just on a much bigger stage. Hit up any party or club in cities
across America and you will be exposed to the exact same thing you saw on TV
minus the dancing bears. It’s not her job to raise your kids it is yours as a
parent. If you disagree with what she does on stage at her shows don’t go to them
and stop buying your kids her albums and merchandise. It’s a simple idea….Tell
your kid “NO”. It works like this; “Mommy, can I get the new Hannah Montana PCP
flavored glow stick?” Simply respond with “NO”. See how simple yet so eloquent
that is? The more parents who follow
this lead the less you will see of her. It is such a novel idea. It seems like
I am always referring back to how a person was raised. Most child actors and
musicians are thrust into the spotlight at a young age and are not giving the
time or environment to grow up “normal” like the rest of us. There image is
carefully cultivated by their parents to appeal to the segment of society who
will bring in the largest profit at the expense of a well rounded childhood. Just
because Billy Ray preaches about down home country living and God doesn't mean that’s
how his kid was raised. It is an image that he wanted you to perceive, how achy
breaky of him. I continue to wonder why people are appalled when they see
something like this from a celebrity. From
Madonna faking sex acts on stage to Britney participating in foreplay with a
python and now Miley trying to convince us that a constant tongue wag and an
ass that has Hank Hill laughing is sexy and provocative there is always going
to be another disaster waiting to happening courtesy of a misguided young celebrity.
Years from now we will forget Miley’s performance just as we have forgotten the
numerous jaw droppers that have come before her. There will always be someone
new trying to push the envelope of what we call entertainment and sex and I’m
hoping the next one doesn't resemble a Japanese animation experiment gone wrong…..Kate
Upton did you hear me???
PS. Happy Friday peeps on this holiday weekend. With harvest
starting next week this farmer is going to enjoy it with some cold beers, lake
views and maybe some dove on the BBQ and remember…..The magic happens outside
of your comfort zone.
