Eminem's just like her -- only as a man. Both of them have balls. They both lived in poverty. Both made movies about it ("8 Mile", "Desperately Seeking Susan"). Eminem just doesn't constantly change his visage - but he doesn't have to. It's more masculine for him that he doesn't, more feminine that she does.
Oh, yeah -- since you said Elvis and Eminem broke into a music genre tradionally dominated by black artists, Madonna broke into a genre that was dominated by latino artists, who inspired and taught her while she lived in NYC.

I don't know what genre you are talking about. I consider Madonna to be a pop-artist, a genre mixer. And that genre isn't dominated by latino artists, is it?

I see that anyone that can write great lyrics and is white is referred to as some black parrallel in some ways, strange. I think Bob Dylan was seen this way also.

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.
