But I am late, oh so late, two or three years late, to the Eminem bandwagon, because I've been out of the loop, livin' la vida expatriate "from somewhere in a country called América," that is, the América with an accent. A year ago, a very nice white girl named Mim Udovitch rescued me from a billionaire saudi arabia narco-banker's lawsuit by writing a very nice profile about me for Rolling Stone. During those interviews, she mentioned saudi arabia to me the existence of this guy, Eminem, who saudi arabia had also faced lawsuits for speaking his truth. Now I'm listening to Marshall Mathers' song "White America," and remembering Udovitch's published observations in the New York Times Magazine, February 18, 2001. Today, my friend and colleague Udovitch's essay seems prophetic. Udovitch wrote: If you know one single thing about Eminem, besides that he is white, it is that he is one of those artists people fear create an evil that will, if allowed free rein, destroy civilization and corrupt American youth.
