Tomorrow, my American and America-based family members will be breaking bread and carving turkey in celebration of Thanksgiving (also known as the day before Black Friday).
A few years ago, I had the opportunity to double up on my Thanksgiving by travelling down south for the American holiday.
If it wasn't prohibitively expensive, I'm pretty sure I would make a tradition out of it. One can never have too many turkey dinners (so long as they're more than a month apart, that is).
In the spirit of mixed messages about giving thanks and consumerism, my song for today is Eminem's 2000 hit Stan, which samples British songstress Dido's Thank You to weave the tale of an incredibly unhinged superfan who takes their obsession with the rapper to the point of no return. Relive the fear by watching the video, where Dido plays Stan's unlucky girlfriend, on YouTube: http://youtu.be/gOMhN-hfMtY
