I don't listen to rap very often, so bare with me. Some of my friends were talking about Eminem in English class, and the teacher mentioned a negative experience with his work. She heard some kind of bluesy-acoustic cover of one of his songs, which was told from the perspective of a man who murdered his wife and was explaining it to their son. She said it left her disturbed for a while, so now I'm kind of morbidly curious. Any help you can give finding the original or the cover would be appreciated.


Answer
'97 Bonnie & Clyde.

In that song he describes a trip with his infant daughter, Hailie, and how he disposes of his wife's body in a river.

He tells Hailie:
"C'mon Hai-Hai, we goin to the beach/Grab a couple of toys and let da-da strap you in the car seat/Oh where's mama? She's takin a little nap in the trunk"

In the 3rd verse he goes on to say:
"Wake up sweepy head we're here, before we pway/we're gonna take mama for a wittle walk along the pier/Baby, don't cry honey, don't get the wrong idea/Mama's too sweepy to hear you screamin in her ear (ma-maa!)/That's why you can't get her to wake, but don't worry/Da-da made a nice bed for mommy at the bottom of the lake/Here, you wanna help da-da tie a rope around this rock? (yeah!)/We'll tie it to her footsie then we'll roll her off the dock"

I wouldn't take the lyrics too seriously. Eminem is a troubled soul and this song reflects his personal life and his tendency to fantasize a lot.

What is the coolest Native American artifact you know?

Corn husk dolls, bow and arrow, etc.


Answer
A ten foot tall Salish loom. I can't think of why a person would need one so tall, it must have been hell to pack round back in the day. I got to weave on it while working on an exhibit at the Smithsonian, it was found at a sight near Sequim, WA. But Im a weaver, so it was really exciting for me. The other would be a little toy axe, no bigger than a pinki finger, made out of a twig and a sharp pebble, tied around with cherry bark. It was roughly 900 years old (which is nothing compared to some of the artifacts found in the same area, which are about 11,000 years old), and looked like something my little boy would like to play with. Exmining it, with the understanding that several generations ago, a little kid lost that toy while playing outside his/her home touched me, it reminded me of how long my people have been here and living in these EXACT same locations. My own children play on beaches that our ancestors have enjoyed for countless generations...and are no doubtedly leaving behind tidbits of evidence that we were there for future generations to find and examine.

Edit: I also LOVE looking at stone cooking tools, especilly those meant for grinding. Cultures all over the world have been using them for countless generations and to this day you find them in kitchens of well-established cooks.

Edit2: We say dzidzi, skuki, wiw'su, and chachash fr infants and children...not guagua, and the lndbridge theory has been debunked. In addition to this, chinese was not a language spoken 50,000 years ago.
