Slim Shaddy Gets Out The Vote

So the buzz over Eminem will undoubtedly crescendo this weekend (even Juan Cole is writing about it) and will hopefully continue through to the release of the track and maybe even a video. This Rolling Stone snippet is quite interesting.

The thirty-two-year-old rapper says he has registered to vote for the first time -- but stops short of endorsing a candidate. "Whatever my decision is, I would like to see Bush out of office," Eminem says. "I don't wanna see my little brother get drafted -- he just turned eighteen. People think their votes don't count, but people need to get out and vote. Every motherfuckin' vote counts."

He registered to vote. Welcome to the club Marshall. We have jackets.
