Cory's Spot: Music Video: Eminem – "Mosh"

It seems that at one time I had something important to say about Eminem's "Mosh" video. Naja…it may not have been important, but at least it wasn't any less important than anything else I've chosen to post on. I guess the long and the short of it is that that video is an anti-Bush statement with as strong an emotional impact as anything else I've seen. The Gorillaz-esque video certainly provides an eye-catching visual to go along with Eminem's lyrics, which, by the way, are as eloquent and on-topic a rant as I've ever heard from Eminem. I'm particularly impressed with the reveal of the twist – that Eminem's army isn't marching to violently express its opinion, but to exercise the right to vote. While I don't agree with the vote Eminem was encouraging (and I'm satisfied with the outcome of the presidential race), I have to give him credit for powerfully stated argument.

P.S. Sorry about the delay on this one, Tara.

P.P.S. Go figure – the one time I write two posts, one after the other, and the server goes down in between so I can't post this one until much later.
