i like marilyn manson's music, but he himself is an arsehole. the only good thing about him is an obsession he has with willy wonka

. i mean, i know it's probably all down to a basic insecurity, but i'm a little suspicious of any artist who relies on his image more than the quality of his music in order to sell records. i'm not saying his music isn't good [it is], i'm just saying that i'm put off by the fact that he seems to feel the need to dress it up in all this fake devil-worshipping stuff which, while funny, shouldn't be taken as seriously as he takes it.
did that sentence make sense? if anyone did understand it, you're doing better than i am...
