I know it’s not 2020 anymore but the most “2020” thing of 2021 (so far) is that it’s a pre-Super Bowl performance by Miley Cyrus and Billy Idol that feels like the first real, tangible proof I’ve seen in nearly a year that we might get back to “normal” once vaccinations are widespread.
Someone who saw this performance said they first cringed when they saw thousands of unmasked people in the audience which is, unfortunately, a very typically American scene.
But then they realised these were all vaccinated healthcare workers which made their fear and unease drop away completely and the scene just felt…normal.
(And who knew when I was rocking out to Billy Idol songs in grade seven in 1986 that seeing him perform in this particular circumstance would bring tears to my eyes in 2021???)
