i pretty much agree with most of that. let's just say he does most of the crazy sh*t he does to garner attention. if this is the case, not only was he successful, but he's used it as a doorway to very articulately address issues that he thinks are important. if you've ever watched any of his interviews, you'll probably believe me when i say that i don't derive my respect for him solely on his knowledge of the world being f*cked up. you are right in saying that most people would agree with the paradoxical state of society. to root out the causes and extrapolate on alternative ways of approaching one's perception to the effect that one can understand is an entirely different matter; one that marilyn manson has done some serious thinking about.
