Marilyn Manson
Better known as Marilyn Manson, is an American musician, artist, and lead singer of the band which shares his stage name.
The whole concept of this band is to present the ugly truth about society – warts and all, and let the chips fall where they may.
Is adult entertainment killing our children? Or is killing our children entertaining adults?”
I was writing a lot of lyrics five or six years ago and the name Marilyn Manson, I thought really describes everything that I had to say, you know, male and female, beauty and ugliness, and it was just very American. It was a statement on the American culture, the power that we give to icons like Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson and since that's where it's always gone from there. It's about the paradox. Diametrically opposed archetypes and then good.
I'm grateful that I have two middle fingers, I only wish I had more.
The death of one is a tragedy, but death of a million is just a statistic.
