The last in his Vietnam War trilogy that began with The Basic Training of Pavlo Hummel and Sticks and Bones and confetti. Clothes are swathed in glitter and rhinestones - preferably both. The band is deafening, drowning out the hysterical screams of the fans as they weep with delight. Things begin backstage with Miley in the make-up artist's chair, performing warm-up vocals and cracking her stiff neck.
