RE: Eminems success / labels future



I think music expresses more than just emotion. I believe we have multiple
aspects to ourselves as spiritual beings incarnated in a human
body....phyiscal, emotional, mental and spiritual.
To me music is an expression of the Divine Sound Current which flows out of
heart of God.
It can touch us on all these different levels and it depends on the state 
of
consciousness of the artist/vehicle.

I do agree the most common emotion expressed in Rock 'N Roll is anger these
days.

Music is an expression of emotion.  Anger is an emotion.  There is a lot of
anger out there.  Most of time, it's called "rock and roll."
