OK John, I will admit it. Regarding Eminem,
I don't get it. Haven't actually heard the
music, but I read the lyrics you posted and pal,
I just don't get it. Clue me here bud.
(end)
Spike, please register(very quick and easy) at MP3.com and LISTEN to the song there! This PARTICULAR song of his holds terrific power for anyone who has felt up against the wall and battling against the odds(you were there in your college days as you faced a bad job market). I would compare the song to the "Rocky Balboa" movies I love. The lyrics COMBINED with the infectious hooks and ferocious & desperate energy of Eminem really create something special.
Natasha is right on in saying how great this rap hit is(number one in the charts). I listened to the song about fifty times last night and did not get tired of it! This normally just does not happen with me no matter how much I like the tune.
you continue:
Oh NO! Im a geeeeeezzerrrrrrrr! {8-[

I remember a Simpson's episode where Homer as a young man in a flashback states emphatically he will never be "unhip." Then they showed him in the present day having utterly failed! My friend and I groaned that we would fall victim to this, too. lol
Actually, I have known guys and gals in their fifties and beyond who are "cooler" than any teenager when it comes to a true hip appreciation of music both past and present. So don't think this is simply an age thing!! ; )
you continue:
I like at least one mod hip group tho:
the Cranberries.
(Are they still around?)
(end)
WHO?? Just kidding! Yes, they are around and doing well. In fact the band's latest effort(or their label, lol) is a ten year retrospective of their greatest hits.
Ten years!! Spike, you are dated! Go out and buy yourself a Matchbox 20 CD immediately! : )
best wishes,
John
