Somehow, through some sort of omnipotent ability, he caused the Columbine High School shooters in Littleton, Colorado to take arms. No doubt, the incident was a tragedy, but to pin the rap on Marilyn or any other artist – which seems to be a trend, of sorts, these days – is a bit of a stretch. I'm sure if it were 1955, Elvis would be getting the blame. s**t happens. Might I be so bold as to suggest that instead of finding convenient targets in today's pop idols, we focus our attention on some more substantive issues, in response to school violence. How about gun control, for starters. After all, it would be pretty hard to go on a murderous rampage with just a slingshot, wouldn't it. Why not protest an NRA convention instead of a Manson concert.
Interveiw Quotes From Manson:
Michael Moore: If you were to talk directly to the kids at Columbine or the people in that community, what would you say to them if they were here right now?
Marilyn Manson: I wouldn't say a single word to them, I would listen to what they have to say and that's what no one did.
Marilyn Manson: I definitely can see why they would pick me. Because I think it's easy to throw my face on the TV, because in the end, I'm a poster boy for fear. Because I represent what everyone is afraid of, because I say and do whatever I want.
Marilyn Manson: When I was a kid growing up, music was the escape. That's the only thing that had no judgments. You know, you put on a record, and it's not going to yell at you for dressing the way you do. It's going to make you feel better about it.
