(8/7/02, 5 p.m. ET) -- Moby fans wondered if the Area:2 festival stop Tuesday (August 6) in the Detroit, Michigan, area would lead to another chapter in his feud with rapper Eminem. Eminem--who claims Moby made inflammatory remarks about him first--disses Moby in his single, "Without Me," and during his headlining performances on the Anger Management tour he shoots a Moby effigy.
Moby did address the issue during his set at the DTE Energy Music Theatre in Clarkston, Michigan, but in a lighthearted, noninflammatory way. During his encore, he saluted Detroit as the birthplace of techno, and then introduced his club hit, "I Feel It," as "something I wrote eight or nine years ago, which made Eminem's dis particularly hurt, that no one listens to techno. It took me two, three months of intense therapy to get over that dis."
The next stop for Area:2, which also features David Bowie and Busta Rhymes, is Thursday (August 8) at the Tweeter Center in Tinley Park, Illinois.
