Miley Cyrus has revealed that lesbian rocker Melissa Etheridge is one of her big musical inspirations.
Miley spoke about her new record to a Houston radio station:
I'm taking chances on the new album, it has a weird and crazy new sound. The last album was a little more produced, a little more girlie. I'm really a huge fan of The Killers, and another one of my favorite artists is Melissa Etheridge.
I love that mixture of techno-rock; that's a very Killers vibe; then you'll hear Melissa Etheridge, more earthy with her voice, and it's not a bunch of tuned-up stuff. You'll hear her voice crack, and it sounds awesome.
You can tell Miley is the daughter of a musician...all her crap about vibes and somebody's sound not being "tuned-up." That's probably how Billy Ray talks at the dinner table. "This dinner is a little over-produced Juanita. The green beans don't stand out from the potatoes and the asparagus is muddy-sounding. Somebody call Glyn Johns!"
Oh, and Miley likes Melissa Etheridge, so that makes her a lesbian.
