Hell yes, every time I heard "achy breaky heart" in 1992 I wanted to commit arson and/or murder.

That has to be the most inconsequential story about MJ ever.

Political Song for Billy Ray Cyrus.

Tell it to Jadakiss.

Tyler/Perry's "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)" (jaymc), Wednesday, 16 February 2011 02:04 (thirteen years ago) link

that was a really good read

gr8080, Wednesday, 16 February 2011 02:36 (thirteen years ago) link

the writer laid it on a little thick with making sure we knew he was holding it all from a cynical arm's length and getting in some easy jokes, but yeah, good read

some dude, Wednesday, 16 February 2011 02:39 (thirteen years ago) link

It's unexpectedly stark, simple, and beautiful, its opening lines an unacknowledged, desolate, distant echo of the song that paid for this house in the first place:

Cold wind's blowing
Sat here knowing
My heart's about to break

...beautiful.

Mordy, Wednesday, 16 February 2011 02:41 (thirteen years ago) link

oh man i am gonna read the shit out of this, thanks ned.

Mmm, I thought the details about the medical endorsement and the faintly horrified publicist and all were good to acknowledge. Then again Heath's one of my favorite writers in music flat out, so I admit bias.

Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 16 February 2011 02:52 (thirteen years ago) link

i didn't mean those details, just some of the other bits felt like cheap shots or unnecessary extra effort at playing up the levity

some dude, Wednesday, 16 February 2011 02:54 (thirteen years ago) link

the piece definitely wants to remind you it's not in people but i think it's basically fine, rigorous, etc.. i also liked:

the late comedian Bill Hicks would draw easy audience roars of approval when he'd share his idea for a TV show called Let's Hunt and Kill Billy Ray Cyrus.

because bill hicks in drawing easy roars of approval shocker

difficult listening hour, Wednesday, 16 February 2011 02:56 (thirteen years ago) link

piece kinda lapses into awkward dfw mimicry sometimes though.

that goddamn Satan.

Spikey, Wednesday, 16 February 2011 03:26 (thirteen years ago) link

my impression of Cyrus is that he's a really simple man. not simple like he's discovered some kind of Eastern tranquility. simple like he doesn't have a lot going on in his head and he's kinda a dolt. not that that is necessarily a bad thing but he seems so pathetic and out of his element.

Mordy, Wednesday, 16 February 2011 04:52 (thirteen years ago) link

i'm glad you didn't get to interview him

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 17 February 2011 16:52 (thirteen years ago) link

love how this thread is like a sad little vestige of the brief period when dudes weren't sure whether to elevate Miley to Ashlee-level hero status and ultimately decided to go with Taylor

“We saw it coming for a long time,” the Disney source says. “She wanted to mature herself, but it kind of backfired. Her future without Disney is TBD.”

ouch. the subtext of the comment raises an interesting question about what's really pushing disney stars to the top of the pop world's collective consciousness (the talent of the artist or the push of the disney machine).

i used to know a jazz professor once who also was a gigging musician and his policy was he'd play any song for a paycheck except herbie hancock's "chameleon" or billy ray cyrus's "achy breaky heart"

gr8080, Thursday, 17 February 2011 18:33 (thirteen years ago) link

chameleon is a great song

never meant to heart anyone (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 17 February 2011 18:40 (thirteen years ago) link

which has been ruined by countless mediocre jam session performances, and middle school jazz concerts. or maybe it's more of a great original recording than a great song.

bows don't kill people, arrows do (Jordan), Thursday, 17 February 2011 18:43 (thirteen years ago) link

One of my biggest pet peeves as a musician was that, when someone did choose Chameleon as a song to jam out on, it was really really hard to get people to play the bridge or the extended jam section. People just like playing "Bowm bowm bowm bowm - BOWM! BOWN!"

Watched that last night. She's a very strange person. I guess I'd never really heard her talk before, either, so I was thrown by her husky twang.

jaymc, Friday, 4 March 2011 23:43 (thirteen years ago) link

i watched like an episode and a half of hannah montana while researching for that voice piece and yeah, every time she says anything sarcastic her voice drops a couple registers and it is Very Surprising.

difficult listening hour, Saturday, 5 March 2011 00:23 (thirteen years ago) link

(she's sarcastic a lot, by the way. hannah montana's kind of a pill.)

the relative brevity of her transition from too-perfect to fallen angel is a little bizarre, michael lohan has trained me to expect a much more drawn out media battle

Miley Cyrus has gone on record in support of gay rights in the past, but this time she went with a decidedly more permanent statement. Last Friday, the singer tweeted a photo of her new tattoo, an equal sign on her right ringer finger, with the caption “All LOVE is equal.” In a year where the “It Gets Better” videos have served as a very formal, very scripted (and, yes, very powerful) beacon of the gay rights landscape, Cyrus’s subtle nod is a quirky (and dare I even say refreshing?) political affirmation. If nothing else, she is, in her own way, breathing new life into the debate with the kind of nonchalance that only an 18-year-old can. Unfortunately for Miss Miley, announcing her new art didn’t turn out to be all peace, love, and rainbows.

Shortly after Cyrus showed off her ink, one of her followers, named @MileyCyrusLuver, tried to engage the pop star in a theology debate by citing Bible verses against homosexuality. Cyrus kept her rebuttal short: “Where does it say in the bible to judge others? Oh right. It doesn’t. GOD is the only judge honey.” Alas, the same can’t be said of her strong-minded fans. Over the weekend, a full-scale Twitter battle erupted between her fans, who reportedly went so far as to Tweet death threats against @MileyCyrusLuver. Eventually, Cyrus had to intervene in support of her antagonist, “Dude everyone lay off @MileyCyrusLuver Love u! Everyone is entitled 2 opinions! ‘if u don’t stand 4 something you’ll fall for anything.’”

"Miley Cyrus gay marriage tattoo Twitter war" is an entrancing phrase.
