marilyn manson

well i'm almost finished reading jenna jameson's novel, and i just reached the part where she's talking about her affair with marilyn manson.

i found it so intriguing that i just had to dedicate today's entry to the man (?) himself. while i have never been a fan (just not my cup of green tea) i have always been somewhat fascinated/frightened by him and his art.

for those of you who aren't familiar with the man behind the mask, marilyn manson is the shock rocker who's responsible for inspiring fear in music savantes all around the world with his disturbing spectacles and eerie alternative music. when i think of him i can't help but think of prosthetic limbs and mismatching eyes, and his remake of "sweet dreams" that still sends a mind-numbing chill down the base of my spine.

when he first surfaced into the music biz, i remember reading that his name is in reference to two of our most famous (for complete different reasons) celebrities in the world; he calls himself marilyn manson because he wanted to be as beautiful as marilyn monroe, but as dangerous and as feared as charles manson. a paradox in identities, if you will.

while his creativitiy on stage and in his lyrics inspires a certain amount of respect from yours truly, i can't get past the rumor that he once threw a puppy into the crowd at his show and demanded they (i can't even write it) before he would begin performing.

despite his zombie-like appearance, he's been linked to some of the most beautiful women in the world; rose mcgowan for example, was romantically linked (and forgive me if i'm wrong-but engaged?) to marilyn, jenna jameson (as mentioned above) had an affair with him at the after-party for howard stern's movie "private parts", and for all you burlseque lovers out there, i believe he is now seeing a burlesque dance whose name escapes me right now!

so that's quite a resume for a rocker such as himself. jenna even described him as "the god of fuck" crazily enough!! saying that he was endowed like a horse and popped more pain killers and muscle relaxants at one time than any 'normal' person could handel!! not to mention on top of the cola he was shovin' up his nose periodically throughout the night!! in her description of their "time" together, she said the first time he went down on her for an hour, and then proceeded to give her a full body massage starting with her big toe!! and needless to say that when a porn star gives you a nickname such as that one...i'd say it's quite the honor!!

so why all the theatrics? for any of you who saw "farenheit 9/11" i guess he gave quite the mind-blowing interview regarding the current state of the world! and from what jenna says, his intelligence was astounding! now being the naive individual that i am, i never would have pegged him for that kind of fellow. and if i feel that way, i'm sure that a lot of other silly lil' folk feel that way too!! so why would he hide behind his shocking appearance instead of play up to his full potential??

seeing photos of him when he first came about i assumed it was all for show. and while i may have been on the same track, he hasn't given me any real reason to think otherwise!! i wonder what he looks like under all his make-up and vampire contacts? yes, he has supreme intelligence, but what you show to the world can only remain an act for so long...and it all has to stem from somewhere!! i guess jenna said that after seeing him for a while, he becase obsessed with her, calling her all the time and talking about seeing her have sex with prosthetic limbs and wanting to suck his drummer's cock, so i think it's a safe assumption to say that he may be leaning a little to the "weird" side...but that in itself doesn't mean much...because "weirdness" is in the eye of the beholder!

so in conclusion, i say that as long as he stays away from puppies and all other animals in general, he should keep doing what he's doing!! he's original, daring, and care-free! he does what he does, and the world seems to have an appreciation for it! although i just can't seem to think of anything else but his album cover where he was wearing the female body-suit...truly horrifying!

i wonder if that's what he was going for?
