Seamus Heany, recently asked whether there was nowadays
still someone comparable to Dylan and Lennon, named Eminem. 
Yesterday I watched his movie once more, and i must say:
it's the most human movie i've seen since a long time.

I'm afraid the older people haven't got enough dimensions
left to be able to follow Eminem. They rather stick to
mrs. Cheney and mrs. Tipper Gore, the Barrabasse's of
this time, where *everything* is upside down.

He started his concert with a stereo impression of 6 of such
Barrabasse's, expressing publicly their dismay over against
someone so flexible, funny, and resolute, that their
sour and spooky nothingness, that apparently surrounds
white american leaders, the winners and the loosers,
floated through the music-hall and was laughed at by
30 or 40 thousand youngsters plus a couple of grey-haired
like me.
