The key here, and why I think that the "power ballad" became such a big thing with '80s "metal" groups, is that prior to the "power ballad," these bands were selling primarily to thirteen-year-old boys. But throw in the sappy ballad, and now they were selling to thirteen-year-old boys AND thirteen-year-old girls, more than doubling the audience. later, Miles ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 10 May 2002 12:39:59 -0700 (PDT) From: Mike Swedene Subject: DiVX & Mac?

What's funny is that I never really backtracked to Pyromania or High 'n' Dry (though I did have On Through the Night on cassette and rarely listened to it), and figured the post-Hysteria albums were not worth checking out.

Art rock? "The Bogus Man"? You've got to be joking, Siskel, I mean Miles! Its lumbering, uncreepy, hamfisted, wooden obviousness is exactly what I hate about it.

It's called "The Night I Fell in Love." and it's not merely about falling for our dear 'lil Marshall; it's about (and told from the pov of) a gay teenage boy who goes backstage after an show by Eminem (who isn't quite referred to by name, but it's obviously him), and who them goes back to Em's hotel room afterwards for a "private performance" and then they have breakfast. The night I fell in love I was backstage couldn't believe my luck was in I saw him approach wearing a most approachable grin When he said hello I was surprised he spoke so politely I said I'd liked his show Well he just smiled I guess it happens nightly and so I fell in love We went to his room he had a video camera I was so nervous I had to try hard not to stammer He said 'I'm glad you liked the show that crowd was dope out there tonight, alright You wanna see some more? Well be my guest You can have a private performance' I'd fallen in love I didn't ask why though he seemed like such a regular guy he said we could be secret lovers just him and me Then he joked 'Hey, man! Your name isn't Stan, is it? We should be together!' And he was passionate I guess I would rate him a nine out of ten by then I'd fallen in love When I asked why have I heard so much about him being charged with homophobia and stuff he just shrugged Next morning we woke he couldn't have been a nicer bloke Over breakfast made jokes about Dre and his homies and folks Neither of us asked if or when we would see each other again but I thought that was cool 'cause Iwas already late for school by then I'd fallen in love ===== "This week, the White House says President Bush meant no disrespect when he referred to the Pakistani people as 'Pakis.'

A good performance by both. Hopefully it'll see the light of day in more than just the two theatres it's showing.
