Actually, that's the Nickelodeon track.

I like Miley and hope she keeps it clean as she gets older. Hilary Duff is another refreshing change, despite my general dislike for the manufactured pop machine. (I always preferred Looney Tunes to Disney cartoons because I felt like Disney pandered to the lowest common denominator - even as a child.) These days, I am more concerned about what kinds of good examples exist in the world rather than finding reasons to tear people down as bad examples. Everyone makes mistakes and everything in life is a trade-off.

I happen to value her "good girl" image more than every other female star's "independent thinking" or "going against the status quo" crap because she isn't selling the hypersexualization of young girls. Well, she wasn't for a while anyway. I am getting a little concerned about how her manager is going to handle this coming of age stuff. In any case, I see it as an asset that her father is a famous country music singer. I am hoping it keeps her from pulling any stupid sexy-teen stunts or doing coke or getting stupidly drunk and flashing people in public. I like that her biggest problem is that all the anti-establishment people think she is too manufactured. She's probably better off for it, and so are the little girls who like her.
