Amen. Also, and I'll probably get myself kicked off your friends-list for this, Myley Cyrus has some pretty good songs.

If you like those songs, that's cool. I listen to some stuff you wouldn't like. Life would be boring if all of us had the same tastes.

Exactly.

I agree... Miley's a great artist; very talented.

It's all the antics that are distracting. And the outfits; my god, the outfits. Those are really very bad.

[patrick_vecchio]

You mention the outfits, which shows the effectiveness of her carefully crafted image. If people don't notice her for her music (like me), they notice her for her outfits, for having her tongue sticking out in so many photos, for her seemingly outrageous actions and outbursts, etc. If I existed in a media vacuum, I wouldn't know who Miley Cyrus is. But I do know who she is, even though there's nothing about her I find interesting, which is more evidence of how she and her image/media experts are practicing their craft at a very high level of expertise. I got twice as many views of this post than I've ever had for any other post, and I suspect it has everything to do with Miley and nothing at all to do with the post's mentions of Cheney, Nixon, etc.

I actually had to go back and re-read the post, because I couldn't remember Cheney et al. at all. Which again proves your point.

This is VERY true!
