 If you're neither a teenage
girl nor the parent
of one, consider yourself lucky, for you probably haven't been subjected to Hannah Montana.
Like other shows on the Disney Channel
and its ilk, Hannah Montana succeeds with tweens by offering bland music, wooden "acting," minimal production values,
and nothing that would disturb even the most sensitive grandparent.
We can't place all the blame for this fiasco
on Disney, though. Much of it can be pinned
on its star, Miley Cyrus
(daughter of singer Billy Ray Cyrus -- yes, that
Billy Ray Cyrus). The "multi-talented" Miley, who wrote
most of the songs on her latest album (and we all know how many songs written
by 14-year-olds end up in the Great American Songbook), turns 15 on November 27. She'll celebrate in Charlotte,
North Carolina, on her tour that caused a commotion
for its instant sellouts and distress among those unable to get tickets.
H. L. Mencken
once noted(more or less) that no one ever went broke underestimating the
taste of the American public. With that in mind, we'd like to suggest a song
title for Miley's next album: "Laughing All the Way to the Bank."
