On topic: Miley smoked a legal substance, and dresses the way she wanted to, which happens to conform with current styles. She's about as wild and out of control as a fluffy house-cat with a faux-hawk.
Exactly! She still seems like "just a good ole' girl" to me. What has she ever done that was all that shocking (that we know about)? There was the lapdance thing which was quite peculiar but not exactly something to get up in arms about. She hasn't done anything worse (that we know about) than what's her name... Dakota Fanning.
I'm not even aware of any instances where Miley was particularly stuck up or spoiled or anything of that nature! I remember she wanted to meet Radiohead, but her reaction to their dismissal was perfectly understandable for a young girl and noone with half a brain could fault her for wanting to meet a band she likes. If I woke up famous tomorrow, before I get out of bed I'd already be on the phone trying to set up some face time with Miranda Cosgrove or Neil Young or someone.
If smoking salvia is the worst thing you ever do in your life, you should be Pope, President of the United States, the CEO of Wal-Mart, the Dean of Harvard, and mentor to The Dalai Lama. There's a reason that this shit is legal. People biggen it up a lot, but I smoked, chewed, and brewed an epic ton of salvia in my college days, including all kinds of high extracts... and I've had natural fevers that made me more delirious than Salvia Divinorum.
The only thing that shocks me about this whole ordeal is how much I don't care about it at all. I was a big fan of hers a year or two ago -- even have a sticker of her on my electric guitar. But that was before I rediscovered Nickelodeon and came to understand how awful Disney is compared to everybody else who makes children's entertainment. It's really sad they get all the accolades, because they're truly terrible at what they do. No fake.
But Miley's a fine person I'm sure. Dunno what she'll do with her life. If I was her I'd retire. Find a hobby. But who knows.
