From DailyKos and [livejournal.com profile] belladonnalin: Eminem's 'Mosh' video. There's a grassroots move going on to get it on TRL (see info on DK after the video links).

I kid you not. It's a gorgeous piece of animation and the usual rhythmic complexity of Eminem, but it's also a moving damnation of Bush (which is, btw, what the Eminem song has over a lot of other anti-Bush music - it appeals to the emotions, not to the intellect or ethics) and an incitement for the young peeps to vote, and to vote against Bush (which, given the 18-24 yr old men I know, would be a pretty big deal - too many of them get their political ideas from Michael Savage).

Also, I am so tempted to make all my peeps put on their black hoodies when they go to vote. [I'm serious, I really am, but it's hard for me to go two whole paragraphs without smirking. I mean, it's Eminem.]

I'm probably a bad person for liking Eminem, eh? LOL I wish I had a black hoodie, I would wear it! I'm voting tonight.

I love Eminem, despite some of his lyrics. I don't know what it is, he just has a certain... something.

People respond to different things in his music/self/whatever, I think. I find his misogynism (both personally and lyrically) too hard to take or support with my dollars. I know lots of people who get an outsiderish message from him that they really love. Me? I'm ambivalent.

Black-hooded voter peeps unite! Also, I think we should mosh in front of our variously assigned schools & firehouses.
