Yep... thought that was tacky but in step with his thug-like persona.
Perhaps that is why he was last in the line up.

Eminem is playing right now, think very hard before you respond.
I think the purpose here was to support the troops and some are making it more political than it need be. HBO and Starbucks put this together.
I appreciate your concern. Eminem is a thug. We all view things differently which is why America is great, and we can. This concert was political if you like to think that or not. Just friendly discussion.

Thank you!
I love Eminem, have since almost when he started. I just told my husband I don't know why I like him so much, he said probably because he came from such a $hitty upbringing and made it on what he knows how to do best. He's right.

I admit I like him, always have.... now granted, he could have dropped fewer f-bombs on the Mall tonight but his story is one of perseverance.
HBO and Starbucks have been known to provide support to troops in the past and think the purpose of the concert was to (1) show support but also (2) advertise.
HBO is getting ready to release a streaming service early in 2015 so I'm sure this will help them in the long run.

Happy M..F..ing Veterans Day? And, you are ok with that? It is interesting that Drudges link is no more. I guess it got pulled by the powers that be, or it was too inflammatory. I don't really understand the discussion I am having with some that I thought I knew. Oh, well.

And you back liberal Starbucks and HBO? Ok. Also, the sad thing about charities for veterans is that very little goes to the veterans. Example is Wounded Warriors. And, don't forget the VA.
Edit: The reason I know this is because my hub (former Marine) runs his races for military cause when he can, but he sadly found out the truth about what happens to the money.

I think you are being ridiculous.
I like Eminem's story of perseverance and some of his songs are rather catchy. I already stated that he could have dropped fewer f-bombs because it wasn't the time or place for it but on par with his persona.
This was a free concert and of course, anytime you show support for your troops, there is going to be political undertones woven in it but since it is the 1st of its' kind, I wanted to see what it is about. Now I am off to drink my Starbucks and watch HBO

Did you notice all the ones there that knew the words to his songs? You have to know him to understand him. If he didn't drop the F bomb, he wouldn't be him.

Like I said, we are entitled to our own opinions. America being free and all. Have you researched Em's history? I like a music beat as well as the next person. As far as drama, that is your problem.
Edit: Let's put it this way. If Em appreciated his riches that America afforded him, he wouldn't drop the F bomb when referring to her. Period.

You don't get it. If you drop the f bomb as far as America, especially when veterans are concerned, you shouldn't be here. Honestly, I am surprised about your stance. I really am. That's ok. This is America.

Why are you surprised? I'm all for freedom of speech.

To each their own ears and for those who enjoyed great. Honestly, never heard of the guy. Rap hurts my ears and their behavior makes me puke. But, that's me. Going back to my cave now.

I just thought you would find it offensive considering what I have seen from your posts over the years. But, you are right. Freedom of speech and all.

Whole lotta stupidity up in this thread
Bruuuuuuuce. Errr I mean Booooooo
Mamatutu you are a fake. Crying about taking away rights then wanting to take away someone's freedom of speech. Go pass out.
Edit: I don't forget anything, that seems to be to your detriment.
As usual you didn't read the entire thread; you just sought me out. I already posted about freedom of speech. Dive back into your popcorn, loser.
Oh, and I see your support of our veterans today is lacking as opposed to what you have said in the past. Change of nationality on your part. Please explain.

God bless America. And, may our enemies be destroyed.

Thats how them b*tch's R
I had no clue they would be broadcasting this on HBO and the channel would be unscrambled. I don't remember seeing anything online or on TV about it. I did hear someone call in to a radio station saying Metrocast did not unscramble HBO for this. Caller was pissed. Metrocast said for him to stream it from his tablet.

Exactly!
This happens at every Bruce concert.I don't see Fortunate Son as a slight. I 100% believe it was the anthem for all those that were drafted to fight the war in Vietnam.
