Three quarters of the shit people talk about Marilyn Manson is about his stage persona, which is intentionally fucked up. In real life, he is a very thoughtful though very unusual guy. He, unlike Michael Jackson, is not a pop star and a doll of mainstream culture who shocks and horrifies people by being a wacko. He knows he's different and revels in it, and shocks and horrifies people by *acting* like a wacko because he enjoys it. And if anyone bashes his music for being too mainstream and for catering to all the whiny goth kids, you ever think that may be because he'd like to make money and he knows how?
