At least the new Eminem single will. If you are a hater, go away now. If you are a fan like me, enjoy:

excerpt from "Mosh"

Just let it gradually build, from the front to the back
All you can see is a sea of people, some white and some black
Don't matter what color, all that matters is we gathered together
To celebrate for the same cause, no matter the weather
If it rains let it rain, yea the wetter the better
They ain't gonna stop us, they can't, we're stronger now more then ever,
They tell us no we say yea, they tell us stop we say go,
Rebel with a rebel yell, raise hell we gonna let em know
Stomp, push up, mush, fuck Bush, until they bring our troops home come on...
----

Imagine it pouring, it's raining down on us,
Mosh pits outside the oval office
Someone's trying to tell us something, maybe this is God just saying
we're responsible for this monster, this coward, that we have empowered
This is Bin Laden, look at his head nodding,
How could we allow something like this, Without pumping our fist
Now this is our, final hour
Let me be the voice, and your strength, and your choice
Let me simplify the rhyme, just to amplify the noise
Try to amplify the times it, and multiply it by six
Teen million people are equal of this high pitch
Maybe we can reach Al Quaida through my speech
Let the President answer on high anarchy
Strap him with AK-47, let him go
Fight his own war, let him impress daddy that way
No more blood for oil, we got our own battles to fight on our soil
No more psychological warfare to trick us to think that we ain't loyal
If we don't serve our own country we're patronizing a hero
Look in his eyes, it's all lies, the stars and stripes
They've been swiped, washed out and wiped,
And Replaced with his own face, mosh now or die
If I get sniped tonight you'll know why, because I told you to fight

----
And as we proceed, to mosh through this desert storm, in these closing statements, if they should argue, let us beg to differ, as we set aside our differences, and assemble our own army, to disarm this weapon of mass destruction that we call our president, for the present, and mosh for the future of our next generation, to speak and be heard, Mr. President, Mr. Senator

Eminem! Thanks for the heads-up - I didn't know this was out. :)

[Why am I not packing?!]

it's not out yet (shhhh). Um, you are packing...mentally/subconsciously. That's what I do for HOURS before I pack in actuality.

awesome! i can't wait to hear it. i love his writing. i'm so glad he finally wrote something about the election. hopefully he'll do at least as well as puffy's "vote or die" (although, not being his target audience, i really have no idea how well that particular campaign is doing).


and hey, even if you're not a sports fan, you can always take some hope from the recent red sox/ yankee series - no matter how bleak things look (and in that case, the sox looked all but dead) as long as there's even just a glimmer of hope you should never give up. the good guys can win in the end. massachusetts is on a roll. no need to stop now...
