Riff: Miley Cyrus – “Rainbowland”

Oct 3, 2017

We are rainbows, me and you/Every color, every hue/Let’s shine through/Together we can start livin’ in a rainbowland

from Rainbowland lyrics by Miley Cyrus

Line dancing her way all the way back to the Grand Ole Opry, and it’s as trashy and godawful as it sounds. Even the presence of the belovedĀ Dolly Parton can’t save the sonic abomination that is Miley Cyrus. As her previous forays into alien landscapes, her interpretation of country is a rehash of all the standard tropes. The two are trying to bond, but the generation gap is too gaping to overcome.
