When Miley Cyrus first premiered her song “We Can’t Stop,” there was a line in it about “dancing with Molly” that everyone assumed was about doing MDMA (aka ecstasy) because seriously, how could it not be? Well, to her credit, she basically just admitted in a new interview that the song was about exactly what you think it’s about, so feel free to take that as you will. Via HuffPo …
“It depends who’s doing what. If you’re aged ten [the lyric is] Miley, if you know what I’m talking about then you know. I just wanted it to be played on the radio and they’ve already had to edit it so much,” the 20-year-old singer told the Daily Mail revealing interview. “I don’t think people have a hard time understanding that I’ve grown up. You can Google me and you know what I’m up to — you know what that lyric is saying.”
“Then I’ll give you an edit. I just think the world is so lame because you can shoot people in a movie and you can let people like [George] Zimmerman off on trial but you can’t have someone going like this [she stimulates oral sex gesture], that is so dumb to me,” Cyrus explained. “The world is such a f–ked up place the last thing people need to worry about is my cute little video for ‘We Can’t Stop,’ you know what I mean?”
I agree with Miley on a lot of this, but I will offer a word of advice: Maturity isn’t about what you do, but how you do it. Can you drink? Sure. Can you f**k? Absolutely. But it’s your job as an adult to establish what your boundaries are and then work within them. Figuring out how to enjoy yourself while operating within moderation is a lot more important to being an adult than trying to prove you’re an adult. I mean, clearly Miley isn’t strung out or anything, and she looks downright healthy, so at least she’s on the right track. But once again: Don’t lose sight of your limitations.
