Miley Cyrus and John Lennon

Miley Cyrus has ruffled a few feathers, has raised some hackles, whatever hackles are, has got a lot of her fans seeing red. It isn’t anything she did.  It isn’t even a thing she wrote.  All she did was tweet “Beautiful” with a link to a quote from theoretical physicist Lawrence Kraussabout how the building blocks of life were formed within stars and how amazing and poetically symmetrical life, the universe and everything is (my guess is it all adds up to 42), and at the end there was the line “forget Jesus Christ.  A star died so you can live.”

She's not a kid any more

Well, especially  being Miley Cyrus, from good country lineage, a lot of her fans are of the don’t mock my Jesus variety, and she’s got a few nasty tweets in reply.  Go to hell, stuff like that.

It’s probably not really that big a scandal.  So far, it doesn’t seem to be the big international brouhaha that John Lennon sparked when he said the Beatles were bigger than Jesus Christ.

I just like having a chance to write about Miley Cyrus.  I can post a picture which is not of some slimy politician, muse for a bit about her transitioning from child star to adult celebrity.  Will she make it?

O.K., I really don’t have much to say about this.  I hope she doesn’t apologize for it or anything like that.

Here’s my  predictions for today’s primaries:  Romney will take Ohio and Tennessee but narrowly.  My theory on that is that Romney wins the close ones, because as long as the vote is close enough, the professionals can step in and swing it their way, and the professionals want Romney.  He’ll take Virginia, due to his opponents’ complete ineptness.  Paul might take North Dakota and Alaska.  Gingrich will take Georgia.  Maybe Oklahoma.

Everybody will stay in.  Nobody is forced out until they decide to get out.

    By “country folk,” do you mean those ig’nant turd what think spitting is Ok, farting in public is funny, and having sex with cows is alright as long you don’t pick the ugliest one?

    Yeah, fuck ’em.

    We are stardust

  3. Well, I often agree with you, A, but Miley’s tweet kind of stands as evidence that one can be country without being a total goober. Willie Nelson is cool, Johnny Cash was cool, there are plenty of examples.

    Now hold on just a minute, there, hoss. What’s Willie’s stance on fartin’ in public?

    As for Miley, two words: push-up bra. God love ’em…
