“ You’re not going to say
anything about me that I’m not
going to say about myself.
There’s so many things that I
think about myself; if someone
really wanted to get at me, they
could say this and this and this.
So I’m going to say it before they
can. It’s the best policy for me.”

Many artists over the years have gone through transformations throughout their career. Shit, David Bowie did it five times a night at just one of his
concerts. The idea of different personalities or personas has been around for 1000s of years.
This month’s cover and feature artist is ready to kill himself and has created a new album that does just that. The death of slim shady isn’t just another
casual suicide. It’s the end of an era where one person from an average of not lower income family who beat the odds and made it to the top in a
music genre where white boys weren’t always welcome.
Detroit is a rough and tough city no matter what your background is. A hardworking middle class
that once drove the city is all but a memory. Yet there’s one thing that has been a constantly
growing and evolving industry and that’s music.
From Motown to Detroit rock city, the White Stripes and ultimately Kid rock and Eminem. It truly is
a common bond from one of America’s most iconic cities, and while the car business is still
around it’s the energy of new and old music that keeps Detroit alive.
Here’s a little bit more about the history of this month’s cover and why he choose to die in front of
the world .
The birth of Slim Shady, also known as Marshall Mathers, can be traced back to October 17, 1972, when he was born in St. Joseph, Missouri. Growing
up in a tumultuous environment, Mathers faced numerous challenges, including poverty, violence, and a dysfunctional family. These hardships shaped
his unique perspective on life and would later influence his music.
As a teenager, Mathers discovered his passion for hip-hop and began rapping under the stage name "M&M."
He eventually adopted the persona of Slim Shady, a darker and more provocative alter ego that allowed him to
express his inner demons and confront his struggles through his music. With his raw and unapologetic lyrics,
Slim Shady quickly gained a following and became a controversial figure in the rap industry.
Throughout his career, Mathers faced both praise and criticism for his music, which often delved into themes
of violence, drug abuse, and mental health. Despite the controversy surrounding his music, Slim Shady
became one of the most successful and influential rappers of his time, earning multiple Grammy Awards and
selling millions of records worldwide.
However, the fame and success that came with being Slim Shady also took a toll on Mathers' mental health.
Struggling with addiction and depression, he found it increasingly difficult to maintain his persona and separate it from his personal life. In 2005,
Mathers announced his retirement from the music industry, citing his need to focus on his mental health and well-being.
The death of Slim Shady marked the end of an era in hip-hop, but it also signified a new beginning for Marshall Mathers. After taking a hiatus from the
spotlight, Mathers returned to the music scene in 2009 with a renewed sense of purpose and a more introspective approach to his music. Through his
later albums, Mathers explored themes of redemption, self-discovery, and personal growth, showing a more vulnerable and mature side of himself.
In conclusion, the birth and death of Slim Shady symbolize the complex and multifaceted nature of Marshall Mathers' career. While Slim Shady may no
longer be the dominant persona in Mathers' music, his legacy lives on in the impact he has had on the rap industry and his ability to use his music as
a form of catharsis and self-expression.

In the April issue of Static Live Magazine, I wrote about Grateful Dead 5/11/81 – New Haven Coliseum, the fateful “day the music died”, when The Rastaman
Sensation, Nesta “Bob” Marley split this scene. That was the second time I saw Grateful Dead in' 81. The first was 3/14/81 – Hartford Civic Center. On any
given night, not even the members of the band knew where “the Ship of the Sun drawn by the Grateful Dead” would head. On Saturday 3/14/81, it sailed for
a period down an intense rapids. In those days, musical acts weren't welcomed with open arms for the economic benefits they brought to the community, as
they are now. On 3/14 in Hartford, the law was in full view; the undercovers...were not! We Deadheads lived in a whole different multiverse than the
protected-by-the-cops-and-undercovers Swifties, who fantasize that they're “build[ing]...castle[s] out of all the bricks...[thrown] at [them]”. We literally had to
dodge billy clubs for smoking pot, now totally illegal in just 4 states, legalized in almost half (24), and legal for medicinal purposes in the remainder,
including Florida. At Grateful Dead 3/14/81 – Hartford Civic Center, our seats were in the middle of the left section of Row 15. With ten seats to either aisle, I
was basically in a Trap. Grateful Dead shows were setlist-less improvisational performances, with a structure similar to a symphony, but with the Third
Movement being more schizo than scherzo (which means “joke”). Coming out of the Third Movement, Drums/Space, on 3/14, and into the Fourth, a viciously
intense “The Other One”, a guy about 20, directly in front of my now wife Cindy, began to act Schizo, screaming & yelling like a psychopath, violent & evil, but
minus the calm of a serial killer. With the audience on its feet, it suddenly became more crowded, as an additional 3 or 4 more attendees converged upon
our & the adjacent rows. As soon as I fired one up, a tall, 30-ish hippie that I didn't initially tag as an undercover, hit me up to sell him drugs. First, he asked if
I had any coke; then acid; and finally pot. At that point, I threw the joint, my last, on the floor, and ignored “the heat [that] came 'round [to] bust...me for
smiling on a cloudy day”. My heart “trembled and [almost] exploded”. I was in a Trap. Just after completing the final line of The Other One, with a hush over
the Civic Center, Schizo screamed at the top of his lungs: “STOP THE MUSIC. I HAVE THE ANSWER!”. I think the band heard him because suddenly Jerry lead
them into the totally improvised, one & only version of Bach's “Jesu, Joy of Man's Dressing”. A one minute instrumental jam, its key English-translated line,
“Hark, what peaceful music rings”, left unsung. At that moment, 7 undercovers from Rows 14, 15 & 16 descended upon & ushered Schizo out of the arena in
'cuffs. I retrieved the joint, having realized what I thought was mine, was really just a diversion to distract from Schizo's Trap.
Similarly, M. Night Shyamalan's latest movie is a “Trap” set at a concert in a big city, fictional Tanaka Arena. It's current day Philadelphia at pop star Lady
Raven's (Night's daughter, Saleka Night Shyamalan, in her film debut) dance-styled concert. Night originally pitched the film as “Silence of the Lambs” at a
Taylor Swift concert. As usual, following the lead of one of his influences, Alfred Hitchcock, Night cameos as Lady Raven's uncle, a manager in her security
team. Philadelphia fireman Cooper (Josh Hartnett) takes his daughter Riley (Ariel Donoghue) to the show, where he learns from Tanaka merch vendor Jamie
(Jonathan Langdon) that the entire concert is a Trap to catch The Butcher, a serial killer who chops his victims up into piece. The Feds have intel that he'll be at
the show. Law enforcement of every order is visible everywhere! Will the Butcher get out, despite every adult male being vigorously screened before exiting
the premises?
Although the setting is, as in most Night films, contemporary Philadelphia, the concert footage is shot at FirstOntario Centre, Hamilton, Ontario (formerly
Copps Coliseum), a 19K-seat-for-concerts, 17K-for-hockey-arena, current home to Toronto Rock, a pro men's lacrosse team. The exterior shots of Tanaka were
Toronto Blue Jays' Rogers Centre with its marquee modified.
As of this writing, Trap, in its third week of release, has more than doubled its $30 million budget at the box office. As with many of Night's films since The
Village in 2004, Trap has a largely polarized audience, half “lovers gonna love, love, love, love, love”, half “haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate”. In this
reviewer's opinion, its his best film since The Village, and fourth best overall after, in order, Unbreakable (2000), The Sixth Sense (1999), and The Village,
Great Movie! 4 Stars!

Alcohol shots have been a popular method of consuming alcohol for centuries. The act of taking a shot
is often associated with celebration, camaraderie, and a sense of daring or rebellion. But the history of
doing shots is a complex one, with roots that stretch back
to ancient times.
One of the earliest forms of taking shots can be traced
back to the ancient Greeks and Romans, who would mix
wine with water and drink it in small, concentrated
amounts. This practice was believed to have medicinal
benefits and was often used in religious ceremonies and
social gatherings.
In the Middle Ages, the tradition of toasting with shots of
alcohol became more popular, especially among the upper
classes. It was considered a sign of wealth and privilege to be able to afford expensive spirits and
share them with friends and guests.
During the Prohibition era in the United States, the act of
taking shots became a symbol of rebellion and defiance
against the government's ban on alcohol. Speakeasies and
underground bars would serve shots of bootlegged liquor to
patrons, who would drink quickly to avoid detection by law
enforcement.
In modern times, the popularity of doing shots has only
increased, with bars and clubs around the world offering a
wide variety of shot options to patrons. From classic shots
like tequila, whiskey, and vodka, to more creative and exotic
concoctions, the options for taking shots are seemingly endless.
However, it's important to note that while taking shots can be a fun and social activity, it can also be
dangerous if not done responsibly. Drinking alcohol in concentrated amounts can lead to intoxication
and impaired judgment, which can have serious consequences.
In conclusion, the history of doing shots is a rich and diverse one, with origins that date back to
ancient civilizations and continue to evolve in modern times. Whether used for medicinal purposes,
socializing, or rebellion, the act of taking a shot is deeply ingrained in human culture and will likely
continue to be a popular way of consuming alcohol for years to come.
