Eminem's MOSH .... i watched it 3 times in the last hour......
Damn. It brought me back to the power I felt when I flew to NM for 'Election Protection'. It brings back powerful feelings that seem to fit with the current situation.

It's almost painful... no, it is painful.

We KNOW. We are the people. WHY have we allowed ourselves to be put in an impotent situation?

Watch it again - full volume (headphones, whatever...)

1. I love the part where bin Laden is making his video and the backdrop falls
down to reveal, I think it's Cheney, or someone like that, directing the video.

2. Did you see the revised version after the "election" I think it is
prophetic myself.

5. I watched that one again as well.
I wish the prophesy in the vid was true. Thus far, it it is far from the truth.


On the floor....... I want to see ACTION on the floor (and not JUST from the traditional liberal powers... ). I want to see every Congressional Dem. that wishes to be re-elected ON THE FLOOR - DISSING THE WAR.

The video and song is still powerful though and motivates you because it reminds me of all Bush and his regime have done to us all. All they've stolen from each of us whether a liberty or a loved one. I love the animiation. The Kerry animation at the end makes me so sad I just want to give him a big hug. :( It has 9/11 and everything. :( And I love the "Bush knew" newspaper as well.

26. It's so powerful...
Our country has been so damaged by this administration...

It's going to take one hell of a Democratic leader to fix this mess...

I have yet to see a weakness in him.

3. a little lark must have told you I was just thinking about that song
today. And I hadn't thought about it in some time.

The first time I watched that video I sat in my chair slackjawed for about a minute and then my phone rang.

Guy on the other end said, "Is this eminem?"

I said, "Uh, no."

He said, "Sorry to trouble you," in a really greasy manner and then hung up.


I was a little freaked out for a while until one day I got another call.

It was a woman, she asked: "Is this M&M Paint Supply?"

Looked it up in an old phone book and sure enough, same number.

True story.

9. When I did 'election protection' in NM I wore a black hoodie.
It is still my cover-of-choice. It wraps me in the comfort I felt in the days before the KERRY-WHIMP-OUT on the 3rd. My sister had to tell me 2-3 times - cuz I did not believe her.

16. I wore my hoodie too
Edited on Tue Oct-18-05 01:30 AM by FreedomAngel82
:) It was a school day and I decided to wear my hoodie. It was a cool day too so it would be perfect anyways for the type of weather. :( And the beauty of this video is he pinpoints everything from 9/11 to BinLaden to Iraq. It's a wonderful video. And the black guy they show in the newspaper before the first street scene is that Kanye West???

19. I also remember reading
that the video for "Mosh" the day after it was out (either that or two days) was instantly number one on MTV and it wasn't even listed on the video pick list on the website or anything! I thought that was amazing.

22. I swear, I can't even listen to that song any more.
MISTER President! MISTER Senator! Are you listening....?

It's too hard. I might come around, though, especially because of your suggestion. It has been almost a year, huh?

:-)

25. Yeah, it hurts. I am re-living that which WAS
We (almost all) KNOW what happened. It hurts, but it also transports ma back to a POSITIVE time.


When I went to NM for E.P. I felt such positive energy...


I want that feeling back.

posting with my black hoody on... :evilgrin:

It's slow, I just watched it, and had to pause the quicktime player a bit, to avoid glitches.


this link worked for me just now:
http://www.gnn.tv/videos/viewer.php?id=28&n=1

And yes the rework of the video is much better, since it doenst seem like dated election video now.

28. misty but no actual drips
It made me very emotional the first time I saw it for sure, sort of a white hot rage of fury.

This time, not so much but I was inspired to get my black hoody on.
