Hi Maggie, I'm not a fan of his, but I liked getting to that line: "I solemnly swear to always treat this roof like my daughters and raise it," and the whole idea of being not afraid to face demons, and to take a stand. Courage and strength, Maggie, you have that and so much more, and songs like these are good, energetic reminders!
i LOVE his music. his passionate voice and lyrics are totally necessary in today's musical randb/rappop climate of such passionless, vanilla, repetitive music and voices. he is rageful, joyful, fearful, whatever, but he's fully engaged in his music, and his lyrics are real to him and his life.
my friend said he's a 'beautiful poet' and i agree.
I heard an interview with Eminem on NPR a while back. He is a smart guy, amazing poet and spinner of words and sounds. I am happy he is in recovery. I hope his words will continue to have a more positive, productive edge to them. Youth need that now - not the angry, amoral crap so many of these incredibly talented rappers hang with.
what i thought love was is so much less than what it is

Someone may have stolen your dream when it was young and fresh and you were innocent. Anger is natural. Grief is appropriate. Healing is mandatory. Restoration is possible. -Jane Rubietta

"Poetry has nothing to do with poetry. Poetry is how the air goes green before thunder. Is the sound you make when you come, and why you live and how you bleed, and The sound you make or don't make when you die."- Gwendolyn MacEwen

"Her looks fading, the vain Lispector became increasingly reclusive and demanding. Addicted to cigarettes and sleeping pills, she exhibited erratic and sometimes imperious behavior. She would call friends in the middle of the night and flee dinner parties for little apparent reason. She had a reputation for being a liar."-<em>NYT on Clarice Lispector
My dear child, who can tell? One can only tell that, by remembering something which happened where we lived before; and as we remember nothing, we know nothing about it; and no book, and no man, can ever tell us certainly.
Some couples don’t ask much of one another after they’ve worked out the fundamentals of jobs and children. Some live separate intellectual and cultural lives, and survive, but the most intense, most fulfilling marriages need, I think, to struggle toward some kind of ideological convergence. Norman Rush
I like his stuff. I'm weird like that.
LOVE this video (and song.)
Love it. Love him!

This is a really great song, I hadn't heard this one. Thank you! A new great song has to be one of the best gifts you could give anyone.
The wall, breaking through, the falling, the flying...yes. None of us are alone, even if we've been down the same road.

agreed.
i listen to this song like five times a day!
I 'm not a fan of Eminem anymore (I was as a child/teenager), but I like this song. Just the message I have to tell a friend of mine.
