Ms Cyrus missed her calling.
Should have been in front of a real rock band.

Hmm, well he did base a good bit of his stage persona on Gary Glitter...

He might just be a tax refugee. Most successful English musicians eventually change their legal residence just to keep a little slice of their royalties.

Yep, John Lennon "imagined" lower taxes, then moved to the US.

I saw an interview with him many years ago. I believe the reason for the interview was that he’d been off the scene for a while. He was asked about reports that he was “born again”. He responded saying he had been misquoted, rather he said he was “into porn again”. He’s been around long enough that I actually have two of his 45’s on my jukebox.

There’s moving, and there’s changing citizenship.

That line about “one for you, nineteen for me” in “Taxman” wasn’t exaggeration, they were actually in the 95% income tax bracket at that point!

Sure, but depending on the laws of the countries involved, you might have to change citizenship too in order to escape tax liabilities.

I think he came here in 1980. If his plan was to be a tax refugee he sure waited a LOOOOOOOOOONG time.

She made a complete fool of herself.
You can see the band was embarrassed for her.

Taylor is no rocker.

Miley is a natural.

Not a fan of Cyrus ... at all ... but that’s pretty cool.

Where do the years go? I still occasionally play my favorite of his. I didn’t realize how long ago ...

Me neither, but it worked well. They had some chemistry.

The guy has a helluva six-pack, and he’s got a few years on me.

I saw him a few years ago at the VA Beach R&R half marathon (performing at post-run concert). He looked and sounded terrific for an old guy. It was a great show! The audience was lots of happy, middle-age runners, remembering their glory days in the 80s and their kids who had no idea who this guy was.

Generation X turned out some good stuff before Billy went solo.

I wish that I weren’t old enough to know that...
