Eminem's album, "The Marshal Mathers LP," which features tracks on the themes of spousal abuse, murder, rape and violence against women and gay people, is up for Album Of The Year, among three other Grammy nominations. And if it's nominated, it has to be good, right? The FVPF doesn't think so.
"Eminem has the right to use any lyrics he chooses," FVPF Executive Director Esta Soler said today, "but he should not be honored for sending messages about brutal domestic violence." Soler and the FVPF are also asking e-mailers to urge CBS to run public service announcements on the issue during the program as well as having a presenter address the tragedies of domestic violence from the stage.
Meanwhile, NARAS has just come up with a move that may well mitigate the controversy. See Rumor Mill for details.
