EMINEM – picked up 3 trophies, including "Best Rap Song" and "Best Rap Album", at this year's (U.S.) National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences GRAMMY AWARDS, held in Los Angeles on February 21st. The ceremonies featured the white rapper's much-anticipated (and hyped) duet with openly-gay pop music megastar SIR ELTON JOHN. The central question in this hugely-reported and widely-discussed debate about Eminem – the significance of the inflammatory words about women and gays that litter "The Marshall Mather LP" - pits deeply-held beliefs about freedom of expression against concerns over the correlation between violence-glamorizing words and violent actions. With portions of Recording Industry President MICHAEL GREENE's lengthy speech at the ceremonies defending Eminem's Grammy nominations, brief excerpts from Eminem's acceptance speech for "Best Rap Album" and from a post-Grammys interview with him conducted by MTV's KURT LODER, a sample of the Eminem/Elton John duet on "Stan", and comments by SCOTT SEOMIN of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), This Way Out's GREG GORDON reports from Los Angeles. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6:10 SEGMENT #3 - "TWO" I.D. by lesbian's/women's music pioneer MARGIE ADAM (with an excerpt from her "Unicorn Song") [:35] + With the entertainment awards season now in full swing, OUTMUSIC, a decade-old group of openly-GLBT musicians based in New York City has added their own competition with the first annual OMA's, or Out Music Awards; they're scheduled to be announced online on March 3rd.
