Later this month, Marilyn
Manson will perform in Colorado for the first time
since the Columbine tragedy as part of Ozzfest at
Mile High Stadium. In the face of protests against
his appearance, Manson talked
at length with The Denver Post about his background,
his music, how he views the school massacre and his
attitude toward his detractors. It was the first extensive
interview given by Manson to anyone in the Colorado
media in more than two years.
Below are a couple of
quotes from the interview:
"Right now in Denver,
I'm sure there are a lot of people arguing - is it
right for me to come there, should I have the right
to come there? ... So they are fulfilling my dream
as an artist. The people who hate me are doing what
I want them to do - I'm on their minds, so I'm affecting
their lives."
"The way the national
news media dove on [the Columbine tragedy] and made
it into something worse than it even started out being
annoyed and disgusted me," he said. "And it didn't
surprise me at all. For them to blame me was sadly
ironic. ... The media takes violence, makes it into
entertainment, and the killer becomes the star."
Thanks a lot
