My Secret Confession...
I really like Eminem. And I really like to blare him really loud in the car. "Mosh" brings me to tears everytime.

"Strap him with an Ak-47...make him fight his own war...let him impress Daddy that way..." Chilling and great.

I really tried to not like him...


Oh, my daughter still thinks I'm uncool.

1. I love him too
His stuff is actually pretty intense. Whether it's funny (My Fault) or a little sad (Mockingbird) I think its all good

2. Mosh is awesome
I wish more singers would come out strongly against the shrub

3. I LOVE Eminem
I fought off the effects of anesthesia after back surgery to stay awake and watch him and Elton John at the grammys a few years back.

I'm not fond of all his lyrics, but he's progressed from the ghetto talk.

Lose Yourself is a GREAT song about hopelessness and poverty and trying to make it..(from the EIght Mile High soundtrack)

4. Eh, he's really gone downhill.
His last three singles or so have been terrible.

5. I haven't gotten into him.
But I know his lyrics have messages that makes a person think. That's a good thing. :thumbsup:

7. Maureen Dowd did a column about this
awhile back, how adult women were into eminem, she even decribed it like you just did, women jamming out,"in secret", in their cars.

I guess this is a problem how? Because of his misogynistic lyrics? I dont know, never heard the guy....

9. I like him, for some odd reason.
I find some of his lyrics to be witty.

10. We have his last 2 cds
And the 8 mile sound track. I like Eminem, despite the fact that I am a feminist and offended by some of his songs on that basis. I laughed when I found out that my sister, who is also a feminist, likes him too. We came to like him completely independently.
