If you were waiting for Miley Cyrus’ Euro-house take on Occupy Wall Street, today’s your lucky day. It’s time for a Liberty Walk, everyone! I don’t know what that means, but I don’t want to seem anti-Liberty. I just know that we’re going to get it when we live it, whatever “it” happens to be in that particular phrase.
The easy reaction is to mock a seemingly-over-privileged former Disney star for jumping on the bandwagon, but it probably shouldn’t surprise anyone that any somewhat clueless American 19 year old would have some affinity for an anti-establishment movement with a mission vague enough for anyone with somewhat leftist beliefs to glom on to. Her take on OWS is probably just as legit as the one coming from a rich guy who shills for a credit card company, at very least.
Also, if that wasn’t quite enough Miley for you today, she’s also apparently recording a cover of “You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go” for a forthcoming benefit album of Bob Dylan covers. Something to look forward to in 2012, everybody!

Miley and Dylan……………2 great things that no should never be spoken in the same sentence. Honestly my opinion OWS folks have every right to protest………now when they break the law the police have the right to arrest them.
I’d like to see more pop stars risking censorship by Wal Mart. That is what it is all about. There will be no revolution without risk.
