What are your thoughts on Eminem?
Personally, I admire him. My favourite artist.

Do you admire his work or do you admire his character?
I recall hearing radio snippets that his mother was touring the daytime TV circuit decrying his violence against her, and various bits of the nastiness between him and his ex-wife. Is he still alive?

I admire his work. Alot of his lyrics are based on his childhood experience of being bullied and various other things which I can relate too. I can put on certain tracks and they inspire me to get up, not be a quitter etc. He's helped me through some pretty dark times.

Ah. I only know a few of his songs, from his earliest albums. They all seemed goofy and angry to me. Maybe he's reformed a lot since then. You and Shooby, who's a consummate Lady Gaga fan, would probably get along well.

Yeah, that was his slim shady day. He's matured alot now though, and his lyrics can be beautiful. That's cool!

I believe his daughter was nominated the homecoming queen at her school. He seems like a proud papa. He also seems to have a sense of humor about himself.

You have to have respect for anyone that is self made. Personally, I think his ability to point out contradictions in society while using himself as an expamle is brilliant. He went off the tracks when the fame got to his head, I like how he uses that as an inspiration for his music now. My favorite musician though, gotta be Dave Ghrol. If I ever get a chance to meet that guy, my life would be complete, lol...
