greetings everyone....it's good to be home. i am fresh off of a couple of days in America's loveliest city...Detroit, Michigan. (to those overseas who are unaware of the US opinion of detroit, michigan, it is affectionately known as "the toilet.") i took my l'il sister there for the big eminem show...well, one of the two big eminem shows. i dunno how popular eminem is here on sinister as he is not really known for being twee....i like him though. i like everything....except for the shite stripes. well, i like music from every genre really......a few observations on the show and Detroit: 1) Detroit has the most fucked up road system i have ever driven on.....highway signs very small and hidden behind trees.....the way streets in the heart of downtown are all U shaped and always turn you around, whether you like it or not. 2) every single thing in that city is named after or in some way references ford....i sort of expected a lot of ford propaganda...but my goodness! 3) the way they make each side of their stadiums look alike, so you never know what entrance you are at. 4) missy elliot was amazing..... 5) eminem swore the least of the 3 acts... 6) i refuse to refer to fifty cent as fifty cent...i always call him fifty cents.....i mean really. i am a white suburban girl, and i accept that....don't even get me started on the wanna-be-gangsta-ghetto youth who call him "fitty..." ewww. 7) a songwriting tip.....if you are at a loss for lyrical content, gratuitous use of the word "mohterfucker" will make the kids think you are a lyrical prodigy....perhaps that is why the Belles have never gone mainstream... "If you're feeling sinister, dawg go and and see a minister, dawg he'll try in vain to take away, y'all the pain of being a hopeless motherfucker" see...sheer poetry. ah well....after an-almost tornado this morning, the sun shines again.....will it ever stop raining in chicago? if animals start lining up 2x2, i'm getting the hell outta here :O) ~motherfuckerstine __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
