There are many reasons to have an achy breaky heart, but this is not one of them. When Billy Ray Cyrus was nowhere to be seen in the first photos from Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth’s wedding on Sunday, people assumed that her father was not there. Turns out he was at the party in the USA along with the rest of their immediate family. Feel better now that you know that he was there?
The whole Cyrus clan came in like a wrecking ball to takeover Apple TV’s Carpool Karaoke. It would not be a family reunion if Billy Ray, Tish, Miley, Brandi, Trace, Braison & Noah Cyrus did not sing the song that made their last name famous. To make the Achy Break Heart performance even more rockin’, they all put on mullet wigs just like the hairdo the patriarch had when we got to know that catchy tune 25 long years ago. A lot has happened to the Cyrus world since we started line dancing to that song! Imagine what life would be like if that breakup anthem never happened? There would be no party in the USA.
Billy Ray Cyrus hurt his hamstring a week and a half ago during the City of Hope ball game and now he is seeing someone famous in his bruise. Maybe because his show, Still the King, will be back on CMT July 11th or because he is a fan of The King, but he thinks it looks like Elvis Presley. Do you see it?
Whether you do or not, say you do because you don’t want to break his achy breaky heart if you do not. I see it. In fact, I think he should get a tattoo of it because I think it would be totally cool to remember it as is.
Have you ever had a bruise that looked something or someone? When I was in college, I burned my thigh with hot water and it looked like Snoopy. To this day I regret not getting it inked.

Before Billy Ray Cyrus was known as Miley Cyrus’ father, he was singer known for his hit Achy Breaky Heart. That song came out 25 years ago, yes a quarter of a century ago, and he released a new version of it in honor of the milestone. The tune is much slower now, much like the man himself, and it is just as catchy.
That isn’t the only change going on in his life, he is no longer going by Billy Ray Cyrus. He just wants to be known as Cyrus. Personally, I think he should’ve gone with MD Cyrus as in Miley’s Dad Cyrus and not as in his show Doc.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0D2_jhgtwE Still the King debuts on CMT tonight at 9p and it is funny look at the life of a one hit wonder years after his song came out.
Vernon Brownmule (Billy Ray Cyrus) had a big hit 20 years ago and he’s still living that wacky Rock star lifestyle. Only problem is that he doesn’t have the money and most people don’t remember who he is. Even though, he isn’t any where near as famous, he still acts like he is. So much so, he gets drunk one night, crashes his car in to a Church’s sign and finds himself in jail.
When he finally gets out, he is put on probation and can’t leave Tennessee. Not only can’t he leave, he finds out that he owes 15 years of back child support to a daughter he never knew he had. To make matters worse, he has to do community service at the Church he damaged.
The Church has a new minister starting there, but the Congregation has never met him. When Vernon finds out how much they make, he pretends to be that Minister. He then recruits his former band member’s son Walt (Travis Nicholson) to be his right hand man and help get him out of trouble. Which will be most of the time. Each week, it gets crazier and crazier and funnier to watch him try to save his butt again.
What is Vernon doing with the money he is earning from the Congregation? He is using it to pay his back child support so he can get to know his daughter (Madison Iseman) and reconnect with her mother (Joey Lauren Adams). Neither woman wants anything to do with him.
Will that change? Will he change? We will just have to watch this hilarious show each week to find out.
If you are like me and love shows that depict the Rock star lifestyle as wild as you imagine it to be, then you are going to love this show as much as I do.
Almost as much as you love Vernon. Cyrus plays him so horribly and yet so lovable, you can’t help but to love him and the show.
