Eminem and Guerilla Network News have unleashed a scathing, darkly beautiful, and powerful video. The song is Eminem's Mosh, and the animated video shows an uprising. A young woman comes home in the rain, groceries in hand and a piece of mail in her mouth, while her children watch TV. She opens the letter to find an eviction notice. On the TV, footage of President Bush's State of the Union address airs with the words "Tax Cuts" underneath it. The young woman dons a black hoodie and joins the masses marching behind Eminem. The video also shows a young Private at an Eminem performance for the troops in Iraq. He returns home with a smile on his face, to a house with a "Welcome Home!" banner on it. His wife and children are at the door with sad faces, and his wife hands him a letter telling him he's been re-assigned to Iraq. The young Private instead says "Fuck Bush!" and dons a black hoodie, joining the growing forces.
Eminem's plea, however, is not to revolt, but to take it to the polls.
Let us set aside our differences and assemble our own army to disarm this weapon of mass destruction that we call our president for the present, and march for the future of our next generation to speak and be heard.
Mr. President, Mr. Senator, do you guys hear us?
