Marilyn Manson: Is he brilliant …or is he a bore?
His stage name, drawing on All-American actress Marilyn Monroe and psychopath cult leader Charles Manson, seems a lot less original when you learn that Andy Warhol had a nickname based on pretty much the same idea: Warhol was called »Drella«, drawing on Dracula and Cinderella. (Also, Marilyn Manson’s super-clichéd »Tainted Love« video sucks, but it’s the only embeddable video I could find on YouTube…)
he used to be brilliant and now he’s a bore. ta-daaah!
