I find it hard not to laugh at Eminem, or Slim Shady or Marshall Mathers or
whatever he's called.
He 'rants' against corporate power and the sorry state of our world, and then charges $94 for his concert in Australia. I doubt that producers lenient enough to allow his lyrics would prevent him from lowering ticket costs if he'd made a fuss.
It's just lucky that the full depth of his superficially violent lyrics reach Eminem's middle-class, white, teen male audience. Must be why they buy his CDs. Or maybe it's just effective marketing.
Give the guy five years and he'll be a toy in a McHappy Meal.
