Just Lose It

That's the election, Mr. Bush. Who would have thought it? Eminem releases a special video track, 'Mosh', just ahead of the Presidential election. Forget the rather lightweight, Michael Jackson-baiting single out next week (Just Lose It), this is dark and brooding Eminem back on biting form. 'Mosh' starts off with a plane crashing into a building while 'Bush' is in front of a classroom full of children. Haven't we seen that somewhere before? It ends with the simple message 'VOTE on November 2'. What's in between is dark and aggressive, and pretty direct; "Fuck Bush, until they bring the troops home," for instance. Never in a million years would I have expected Eminem to issue an anti-Bush tirade like this. My opinion of Eminem has shot up. Could this be the secret weapon that Kerry needs to deliver the youth vote? God, I hope so. And so do seven out of every eight people in Europe, according to the polls. Fingers crossed for Tuesday. Let's hope America doesn't sleepwalk us all into another nightmare 4 years of cowboy control, but votes in Kerry and starts to be respected in the world again. Simplistic? Of course, but the alternative is too horrendous to contemplate.

Source of hope: Republicans For Kerry. Yes, you did read that right.
