Poor Miley
It is unfortunate that pop culture is still fixated with the overrated and untalented. The first person that comes to mind is Miley Cyrus, with her antics at this year’s Grammy Awards. That night, Cyrus was looking forward to meeting the members of Radiohead, a band that she claims inspired her music career. Even before confronting Radiohead’s manager to set up a meet and greet, Cyrus was all gitty as she text messaged her friends to tell them she was going to meet the band. As it turns out, Radiohead declined.
Poor Miley was so disappointed that she left the award show early, and days later, she appeared on a radio talk show, in which she vowed revenge against the band. I’m sure there are millions of Radiohead fans who could only dream of meeting the likes of Thom Yorke. However, why is she worthy of special treatment? First of all, if she was really a genuine Radiohead Fan, she would discovered that her music is the antithesis of what the band is, and what they stand for. There is nothing better to elevate the popularity of a 16 year old pop princess than a photo op with the legendary Radiohead.
