Year 37: 2009

 


Party in the U.S.A. by Miley Cyrus

For much of my 20's and 30's, I became a bit of a music snob--focusing my attention on non-mainstream bands, going to concerts in small clubs versus arenas, and certainly not listening to Top 40 stations.  I became a SERIOUS music connoisseur.  And then. . .I came around again to the cotton candy sugar rush of certain pop songs and allowed myself the joy of cranking up the radio, nodding my head like yeah, and moving my hips like yeah. 

(And just to be clear, I am not pigeonholing Miley C. as a ditzy pop queen--she has serious musical chops--Google Miley Cyrus + Backyard sessions and you'll be treated to a bevy of wonderful cover songs through her powerhouse voice)
