As an old man I was toeing the line between appreciation and crusty pervert. I grew up loving Pat Benetar, Joan Jett, Kate Bush, and all the incredible women of that era. Yep left out lots of names who are likely better or more successful, but those three really hit home for me. I never liked the father Billy R Cyrus, sell out, until he made that huge hit with the gay guy riding horses recently. His daughter Miley has some real chops, and is not afraid to challenge social media and the PC crowd. Her early career was great, for me, singing from the heart. Then, I guess, she hooked up with the marketing and made a bunch of trashy songs/videos to expanded her reach and fortune. Sad but that is the industry for most artists. IMO she is really good, a mile below the very best, but still good and rocking her own way now. I am a sucker for the husky voice and edgy visual.
