...Eminem Show doesn't have many Marshall songs, but it still sags after the halfway point before rallying to regain some of its bluster. There are two horrible songs: Drips, a duet with D12's Obie Trice, is the dumbest sex romp since the Luther Campbell era; Sing for the Moment, a licensed rip-off of Aerosmith's Dream On, substitutes a musty hit for any new emotion...

In that vein, only three of the songs Amos played that night were from Strange Little Girls, opting instead to grant a grateful audience...
...morning just as soon as the dark clouds lift / I’ll break the roof, set fire to the place as a parting gift.” Particularly not in the same song (“Summer Days”). But Dylan isn’t all bluster and arson: “I need something strong to distract my mind / I’m going to look at you ‘til my eyes go blind,” is one of the more beautiful lyrics anyone has written for a while, and his admission that...
