If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Westword should be puffing its print chest out when a writer discovered a Miley Cyrus Instagram photo mimicking a vintage Westword cover.
Staff writer Michael Roberts wrote: “We always appreciate it when men and women of genius acknowledge our work. So our imagine our delight when we discovered that Miley Cyrus, recently lauded by our own Kiernan Maletsky as pop’s greatest role model (heaven help us), used Instagram to put herself into a vintage Westword cover illustration.
“Here’s the cover to a November 2012 William Breathes cover story headlined ‘The History of Cannabis in Colorado … or How the State Went to Pot,’ featuring an excellent illustration by artist Craig LaRotonda.”
Flattery or larceny? You be the judge.
