Yo,
look,
if you had one shot,
one opportunity
to seize everything you ever wanted-
one moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip? 

before I go back to lurkdom totally it would be wrong if I didn't make 
an Eminem comment now would it...

if Em isn't nominated for Best Song for Lose Yourself, it will be the 
biggest non-nomination travesty in that category since Staying Alive by 
the Bees Gees was not nominated from Saturday Night Fever and there you 
have a sentence with Eminem and the Bees Gees in it and you don't see 
that everyday, now do you...

Gage and I do that song really well together.  I hope every grandparent 
takes time out of every day to read with your grandchild and then rap 
with your grandchild, or better yet, combine them both and read rap 
lyrics together.  This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo.  (The 
kid is developing an appreciation for Notorious B.I.G., Mobb Depp and 
Outkast.  Parents just don't teach that sort of thing, it is a 
grandparent's job.)

And this gives me a chance to say that yes, I was exalting yesterday 
with Em's 5 Grammy nominations and  I was also surprised with how many 
albums I already own from the Best rap album category.

Thank you Erica for your kind words.  And note that Em's nomination for 
 record of the year, White America, features your name prominently...

White America! I could be one of your kids
White America! Little Eric looks just like this
White America! Erica loves my shit
I go to TRL; look how many hugs I get!

Vince, white rapper and wannabe groupie for Eminem
