SIMON MOON: HOW IS THIS ALLOWED? >>>
Miley Cyrus. Billy Ray Cyrus. Hannah Montana. “Achy Breaky Heart.†It’s a generational echo.
Miley Cyrus, a.k.a. Disney construct Hannah Montana, will be at the Tacoma Dome tonight.
Tweens â€" kids ages 10-12 â€" are into her stuff, and they have more buying power than the entire country of Iran. Disney knows this, and has sculpted Cyrus a nice career â€" and maybe even a comeback for her one-hit-wonder dad.
If she does well enough, maybe Billy Ray can get a gig at the Emerald Queen. Oh, wait, that’s already happened.
[Tacoma Dome, Wednesday, Sept. 16, 7 p.m., $39.50-$79.50, 2727 E. D. St., Tacoma, 253.572.3663]
