I finally watched Mosh by Eminem

[cynatnite]

I know what I said. He's banned from my house and banned from kids watching him. I still don't like him.

The video is one of the most powerful and moving videos I have ever seen. Two thumbs up!

I've gotta say thanks to Eminem for giving us this.

1. Glad you watched it...saw your earlier post

Eminem is living proof we should judge people by their deeds.

3. I couldn't dismiss it after reading what was said here n/t

4. it brought me to tears the feeling of empowerment that this video

gave to me if the youth see this video I cant imagine them not getting pissed and getting off of thier butts and vote for a change.
I never liked eminem but Now i have respect for him at least on trying to promote pride and voting..this video is a great service and he gets a thumbs up from me

5. I liked it too. It's odd though...I'm 55!!

I've always like Eminem, though some of his lyrics are rather "rough". That music isn't my style but something about the guy is genius...

Anyway, I'm wowed by this new Mosh thing BUT my teenager DOESN'T LIKE HIM..... How's that for a switch! :7

6. I have HATED Eminem with a passion since

his anti gay stuff. I'm happy he is using the power of his poetry and imagery for the common good with this. I watched the video too, and while it is not "my thing" I hope it rocks the vote for Kerry with its intended audience.

8. One thing about Eminem...

..the guy's got the passion... and he knows how to use it... this old fart (me) could identify with every emotion... he captured my inner rage perfectly... powerful stuff... :hi:

10. It reminded me of the 60's. Is he the leader of the next

generation that won't stand for it? Will Ashcroft go after him?

11. I still

hate Eminem but I thought it was a powerful message.

15. Hi Skie!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

12. He seems to have grown up a lot lately

I look for him to eventually repudiate all that anti-gay and anti-woman stuff from early in his career. He seems to be going in a more humane direction lately.

John Lennon, after all, wrote "Run For Your Life" and "I'll Cry Instead" and then later wrote the line "I used to be cruel to my woman I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved/Man that was mean but I'm changing my scene and I'm doing the best that I can."

14. He'll have more of my respect

if he keeps this up.

I think he's got a lot of talent and intelligence. HOpefully he uses it as he did in this case.

16. A shame it wasn't released before voter registration deadlines.

Is it possible to still register to vote in any state?
