When I was about 10 years old, I read "Lust For Life." It was at that point that I gave up the mistaken notion (probably due to exposure to gobs of religious art) that artists had to be long suffering saints with souls so sensitive they were often driven to madness. But,I cannot as a human, citizen and parent ever entertain the notion that there is even the slightest analogy to be drawn between the talents of Mozart and Marshall Mathers. In my eyes, my success as a parent will be measured in the ability of my children to reject what, masquerading as art, exploits and advocates homophobia and violence against women. Eminem's work in this regard is not a fresh portrait of the human condition, it is just garbage. I hope that someone on that Grammy stage tears him a new one. CC "Breathtaking ignorance.
