Marylin Manson roadblocks Bill Oreilly

I do not personally care for Marylin Manson. I find his music and videos weird, dumb, over dramatic, obnoxious.....I could go on but I am not that great with words. Having said all of that, I think the man does what he does well. He has am act, a gimmick, a persona that he has created and he manages to sell it. He looks like a guy that kills animals and drinks blood while burning the bible in a human skull. It is safe to say that a MM album is something most parents would not want to find in their kids CD player. I would not want my kids having that kind of stuff floating around in their heads. He just plain scares the Hell out of me!

Over the past few years MM has been tagged as the poster child for child corruption. After Columbine was over, all of the hatred and anger seemed to make beeline for this "devil worshiping" singer. He became this generations Charles Manson. Parents and youth pastors across the Bible belt were blaming his lyrics for causing kids to kill kids. His concerts were banned, protested and surrounded by cops just waiting for him to step over that blurry line of decency. So what should we do with this guy?

My first exposure to the creature behind the jet black hair and goofy contact lenses was in a Michal Moore documentary. I was absolutely shocked by his ability to speak. the guy comes across like an English professor in a Halloween costume. There was no character.....no sales pitch. I could not believe what I was seeing. These days entertainers (especially rappers) seem to never break character. Not only was he talking like a normal well educated guy.....he actually made some great points. So I stumbled upon this video of MM on Bill's show. those of you familiar with the "Factor" know that Bill loves to get people on and grandstand like a conservative hero. he cuts people off mid sentence. He raises his voice and insults the intelligence of his guests. He always seems to get the best of every guest and will often just end the interview by calling the person a moron if he starts to lose his foothold. This interview threw Bill so far off of his game. he was expecting to beat up on this Satan worshiping hack and save the worlds children. UH OH....Bill apparently was not prepared for MM the man. Manson was prepared, made his points, held his composure and even complimented Bill on his concern. I may not agree with his message and I really think the guy could use his talent in a more positive way, but in no way should we censor expression. Manson feels like he has a message and has done nothing but publicly denounce instances of violence like Columbine. It is time to stop blaming Manson for parents failure to raise their children. The decline of youth in this country is not because some singer acts a fool on stage. Kids killing kids is not the product of music. Like Manson said "Maybe if parents spent more time listening to their kids and less time listening to his lyrics.....they might be able to notice their kids need help". I guess Elvis can relax now because someone else is ruining America's youth.

SAY NO TO CENSORSHIP AND YES TO BETTER PARENTING!
