Thread Name: Eminem carrier of folk torch?
Subject: RE: Eminem carrier of folk torch?
I really hated hearing Hammerite (9) & her friends play the eminem CD - very graphic sexual imagery etc. And tons of gratuitous swearing. I was telling her how disgusting I found it the other day, and what utter crap I thought it was. She wondered how come, then, I was quite happy to let her listen to (& sing along with) Ian Dury & the Blockheads' [F**** Ada, Plaistow Patricia etc]? Got me there, kid. I'd like to think the two things are vastly different - but I'm not sure how far I'd convince her...
Of course, Ian Dury was a genius, and very sorely missed.
