Okay, this started out as a joke posted on my FB Page by my friends (and sometime Beta Readers), Kit and Michelle. It read as follows: “Kit and I think that this would be a great “what-not-to-do” piece for Music Mondays <nudge, wink, just kidding...
Of course, it didn’t start that way–this feud, I mean. It began with Miley expressing admiration for O’Connor, so much so that she claims the video for her song, Wrecking Ball, was inspired by the iconic video for O’Connor’s cover of the Prince classic, Nothing...
