I guess Stevie never got a good look at Michael.

Praying that R&B can overcome Rap.

Sometimes, during a dispute, it's best to just step back, watch the action and NOT get involved.

"He has succeeded on the backs of people predominantly in that lower pay bracket, people of color

I don't believe that. It's snotty suburban white kids that are buying his garbage.

"...the video--which also pokes fun at Madonna (news - web sites), MC Hammer, Pee-wee Herman..."

What year is it, '85? I thought Eminem was the super hip, pop culture skewering Wunderkind. At least he's staying away from the touchy subjects like the Berlin wall and milli vanilli.

"He has succeeded on the backs of people predominantly in that lower pay bracket, people of color. So for him to come out like that is bull----."

no, that's bullsh*t.

Take a cue from Dylan: sing, don't preach.

This is one of many things I don't respect about "artists":

Their take on soaking a crucifix in urine: Brilliant! Genius!
Their take on rappers calling for the assassination of President Bush: Daring! Brave!
Their take on burning the American flag: Courageous! Passionate!
But God forbid someone have fun with Uma's and Oprah's names, and all holy hell breaks out.
Thin-skinned, hypocritical whiners, every last one.
Sure, I can understand Stevie being upset by Eminem. What I can't understand is all the things that DIDN'T upset Stevie.

"jazz album with harmonica,"

I'd like to hear that one. Wonder is one of the most distinctive harmonica players around. Whenever I hear him play, I try to think of who he sounds like and who might have influenced him, and I come up blank. His style seems unique and unprecedented to me. It's extremely lyrical and way beyond the stock licks that you normally associate with the harmonica.

I wonder what Stevie thought of his "Mosh" video?

Steve never was a wonder.. just a singer that can't see too good..
STFU and play the piano and sing.. what you think, Steve, is not important..

Stevie Wonder is indeed a genius if he can have a well informed opinion of a video. I wonder what Wonder thinks of Gone with the Wind? Eat your heart out Ronnie Milsap!

We are indeed doomed, when a blind man offers a straight faced critique of a video, the media report it with a straight face, and the audience nods their heads and offersd conventional wisdom comments that he's a genius because he plays the harmonica! Helloooooo! Half the bums on city streets must be geniuses since they too play the harmonica.
