Unbelievable. And I don't mean the cops.

I only wish that I'd realized - back when I was 14 in 1985 and being a Doors fan was just about the most identity-defining and contrarian anti-conformist/dissident you could be as a youngster into rock'n'roll - that the last two remaining Doors were to end up jammin' with this Miley character. I mean, Michael Bolton is one thing - but Miley… Oh.

The state of affairs, Moe! The state of affairs!

There is an 8-page feature about Morrison Hotel in last month's Classy-Crock

Interesting issue, with Corky Laing (6 to 8 pages too) , Band Of Gypsies (5 pages), Flying Burritos (2p) and a cheap (UK) overview of goth rock (8p).

Hasn't Miley got her rock cred after singing with the Flaming Lips?

[SunRunner2]

^ Yes, she's been with everybody.

A cynic might come to the conclusion that the element of Rock Stardom that is valued most by aging Rock Stars is not the Rock, but rather the Stardom. In other words, not the music, but the celebrity.

I was appalled when I watched Jimmy Page jamming with that game show winner / British Idol or whatever, but that is weak sauce compared to this.

I hope she taught Krieger how to twerk.

[Jay.Dee]

She has something for Jimmy too.

Well, at least the Jons and Ians still keep their integrity intact.

It's been always like this, hasn't it? Most rockmen played the music to achieve stardom. Now Miley goes the opposite direction: she had been already a big star when she started to crave for the rock cred. Playing a rock tune like the one below (Temple of the Dog's "Say Hello to Heaven") will definitely not make her a bigger star.

Kenny G of course!

[Scrotum Scissor]

^ Nah, he would've been jazzassinated on his way over to the venue.

Seriously.
