So to the parents of America
I am the derringer aimed at little Erica, to attack her character
The ringleader of this circus of worthless pawns
Sent to lead the march right up to the steps of Congress
And piss on the lawns of the White House
To burn the casket and replace it with a Parental Advisory sticker
To spit liquor in the faces of in this democracy of hypocrisy

I love 'democracy of hypocrisy'. Brilliant, dude.

Because, of course, Eminem is reading this and cares what a middle-class white chick thinks of his music.

cares what a middle-class white chick thinks of his music.

I think, you know, that might be the entire point. But I could be wrong.

It could. In fact, I'm not entirely sure I'm being sarcastic there. I'm not sure that I'm not, either though.

But confusion is a natural human condition, so I'll just embrace it.

Dude, I love that song. Actually, I can't help but love the whole album, but that song is definitely one of my favorites on the LP.

*whines*
I do not yet have the album.

*de-whines*
I do plan to get it this weekend. I've only heard five songs thus far, 'cause I'm trying to be all unspoiled and shit. Buffy's influence.

And I adore every single one that I've heard so far.

I haven't actually bought the album yet either. I searched KaZaa for the tracks and burned myself a temporary disc. That's what I'm going to use until I can get to the store to pick up the album.

Hee. I've thought about doing that, but want a surprise factor when I actually get the CD, so I've been restraining myself.

Plus, my computer blew, in a metaphorical sense.

The album is amazing. Part of me is a bit worried by how much I agree with him on certain issues. (Then again, I am no friend of Bush either)

Heh. I know what you mean.

Like, it bothers me that it's true that he wouldn't have sold as many albums if he were black. This is not a good, but I wouldn't be consciously thinking about it if it weren't for him. So. Yay, Eminem.

It's such a brilliant album although I'm reluctant to put it above Marshall Mathers EP. He seriously is one of the best lyricists out there. Have you heard 'Sing For The Moment'? It kills me.

It's all political, if my music is literal, and I'm a criminal how the fuck can I raise a little girl? / I couldn't. I wouldn't be fit to.

God. I adore him so much it isn't even funny. I'm just another middle-class white girl too but I can recite almost all his songs word for word so I don't think it really matters that much.

I [heart] your icon. It's my favourite Eminem icon ever.

Aww. Thanks.

And yeah, Sing for the Moment rules. Who is it that's sampled for the chorus?

[pirateyes.livejournal.com]

Aerosmith from the song 'Dream On'. And Joe Perry actually does the guitar solo (not that I would have known his name if I hadn't looked in the linear notes *g*)

Neat. Very neat.
