Marilyn Manson, metal musician, has been frequently blamed for the fall of American youth and the destruction of our culture. As the perpetrators of the Columbine Massacre were said to cite him as one of their inspirations, he was interviewed by Michael Moore for the controversial documentary Bowling for Columbine. Frankly, he was the only adult in the movie who came across as at all intelligent or sympathetic.
So, I was pretty excited to see that Manson had recently been interviewed by talk show bully Bill O’Reilly. Now, O’Reilly and Moore couldn’t be more different so I was please that Manson still avoided taking the bait and responded to all of the questions thoughtfully, intelligently, and with humor.
Manson seems like a neat guy – too bad I can’t stand his music.
