Keep the edge, friends. Don't lose it - ever!
Just lose yourself in your own music!
If you haven't heard this sound yet, take a few moments with it.

Natasha, I had no idea how hip and "with it" you are! I am thirty-five and already out of touch in some ways with the "youth" culture. I am going to have to break down and buy this album.
I personally enjoy Eminem's music and I am very happy(and somewhat amazed!) his new movie "8 Miles" has met such an onslaught of critical acclaim. I just have not quite figured out how to convince my employer(in his sixties) who loves oldstyle doowop and country that THIS is a movie he should take me to! lol I happen to live in a small town without any movie theaters. : (
I would love to see someone at the Alcor Conference do a cryonics/transhumanist "filk" song of Eminem's very catchy "Without me" tune! Queenmuse could have done a good job at it.
The lyrics seemed to have been cleaned up a lot for radio broadcast... lol
WITHOUT ME
[Back]
---------------
Intro (Obie Trice)
"Obie Trice/Name No Gimmicks..."
Refrain 1
2 trailer park girls go round the outside/ round the outside, round the outside (Repeat Refrain 1)
Refrain 2
Guess whos back, back again/ Shadys back, tell a friend/ Guess who's back, guess who's back, gruess who's back/ Guess who's back...
Verse 1
I've created a monster, cuz nobody wants to/ see Marshall no more they want Shady I'm chopped liver/ well if you want Shady, this is what I'll give ya/ a little bit of me mixed with some hard liquor/ some vodka that'll jumpstart my heart quicker then a/ shock when I get shocked at the hospital by the Dr. when I'm not cooperating/ when I'm rocking the table while he's operating / you waited this long now stop debating cuz I'm back, I'm on the rag and ovulating/ I know that you got a job Ms. Cheney but your husbands heart problem's complicating / So the FCC wont let me be or let me be me so let me see/ they tried to shut me down on MTV but it feels so empty without me/ So come on and dip, bum on your lips fuck that, cum on your lips and some on your tits and get ready cuz this shit's about to get heavy/ I just settled all my lawsuits Fuck YOU DEBBIE_!
Chorus X2
Now this looks like a job for me so everybody just follow me/ cuz we need a little controversy, cuz it feels so empty without me
Verse 2
Little hellions kids feeling rebellious/ embarrassed, their parents still listen to Elvis/ they start feeling the prisoners helpless, 'til someone comes along on a mission and yells "bitch"/ A visionary, vision is scary, could start a revolution, pollutin the air waves a rebel/ so let me just revel an bask, in the fact that I got everyone kissing my ass/ and it's a disaster such a catastrophe for you to see so damn much of my ass you ask for me?/ Well I'm back (batman sound) fix your bent antennae tune it in and then I'm gonna/ enter in and up under your skin like a splinter/ The center of attention back for the winter/ I'm interesting, the best thing since wrestling/ Infesting in your kids ears and nesting/ Testing "Attention Please" feel the tension soon as someone mentions me/ here's my 10 cents my 2 cents is free/ A nuisance, who sent, you sent for me?
Chorus X2
Verse 3
A tisk-it a task-it, I'll go tit for tat with anybody who's talking this shit that shit. Chris Kirkpatrick you can get your ass kicked/ worse than them little Limp Bizkit bastards, and Moby/ you can get stomped by Obie, you 36 year old bald headed fag blow me/You don't know me, you're too old let go its over, nobody listens to techno/ Now lets go, give me the signal I'll be there with a whole list full of new insults/ I've been dope, suspenseful with a pencil ever since Prince turned himself into a symbol/ But sometimes the shit just seems, everybody only wants to discuss me/ So this must mean I'm disgusting, but its just me I'm just obscene/ Though I'm not the first king of controversy/ I am the worst thing since Elvis Presley, to do Black Music so selfishly/ and use it to get myself wealthy (Hey)/ there's a concept that works/ 20 million other white rappers emerge/ but no matter how many fish in the sea it'd be so empty without me
Chorus X2
(Hum dei dei la la Hum dei dei la la... la la la) X2 "Kids"
best wishes,
John
