Marilyn Manson
Marilyn Manson has apparently described his latest album The Golden Age of Grotesque as his ‘most genius deluge of hardcore guitar-drum violence and reckless electronic-punk vaudeville mixed with 30’s cabaret decadence and Arch-dandy dada. And the understanding of my art is only the sad product of journalism. Fuck art, I am art.”
‘So stand up dopplegangers, we are on a leave of Absinthe! Our lives are theatre, we are the art and the world will now become the beautifully grotesque stage it was always meant to be. Am I just an innocuous entertainer or am I the destructive force and the terrible reality you’ve suspected all along? The simple answer is, I am MARILYN MANSON.”
Which raises for us all, I think, the obvious question: Why is Marilyn Manson still about? Man, doesn’t he realise it’s over? Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn. We have genuinely scary people to worry about now. People who advise other people to fly planes into buildings and blow up night clubs and the like.
You had your moment in the sun, buddy - kudos in particular on the whole sleeping with Rose McGowan bit. That’s something to look back upon with pride in your ongoing future irrelevance - but enough already. Take a chill pill and just stop trying so hard.
You don’t want to end up embarrassing yourself, do you?
