I just listened to Marilyn Manson's new single "If I was your vampire." The revolting sludgy mess of overly distorted guitars, vocals, and tone deaf goth emo groaning was frightening enough to liquefy my stool. Whatever happened to that somewhat unpleasant but intriguingly bold waif who influenced scores of high risk teenagers to smudge black lipstick all over their faces? Where did that Antichrist superstar go, and what did he do with Brian?
The world will never know.
