Eminem: Mosh
If you haven't seen Eminem's new video yet, you must.Perfect for people who are anti-Bush and have also hated Eminem in the past. You'll be amazed.
I saw this on Tuesday night, and was just amazed. I'm almost ready to go put on a black sweatshirt myself!
I'm not a real big fan of Eminem's music. But I appreciate what he does to make people think -- even if he makes them mad in the process, which isn't, to my mind, such a bad thing.
To my way of thinking, art which exists to encourage conformity is dead. Art which is created to express one's own outrage and encourage others to feel their own, is some of the most vital (in both senses of the word).

Eminem, the gay-basher, woman-killer: BAD
Eminem, the Bush-hater: GOOD
What?!?

Brilliant video...love it.
I also love how other artists are speaking up. Saw the Beastie Boys several weeks ago...their anti-Bush song 'Time to Build' electrified the audience. The band urged everyone no less than 8 times to vote and send the idiot back to TX.
