: -No, I don't really get around to reading too much. I think I have some sort of disability or something, but nobody ever beleived me cause I got good grades and such. I would be interested in trying however.
This book will make you read. You neer want to put it down.
: -For me, as far as where I think he is coming from is best summed up in one lyric in "Get Your Gunn" where he says "The most, I, can learn... is, records that you burn". Or, basically, the "monster character" that he created as "Marilyn Manson" is based on what is supposed to be outlawed/shunned/stigmatized by society. Like THEY are doing his homework for him by perfectly outlining what he should NOT be, and therefore defining what he WILL be. I am not really familiar with him, but is this anywhere close?
You are partly close. A lot of his stage show is explained in the book go read it. You will not be disappointed.
