Manson makes it up
First of all, this is a stylized re-enactment of when Dita caught them in bed together, and it;s about as low a blow as I have ever seen him deliver.
Forget that the video makes no sense at all, and that what little does make sense is totally ripped off from Natural Born Killers and - of all things - Thelma and Louise. Forget that thematically, he was actually trying to rip off Lolita. Forget that he’s an old man acting like this 19 year old is even in the same league as Dita, that he’s not having a mid-life crisis and that he’s not a bastard at heart who has done the same thing to every woman he’s ever “loved.” Hell, he’s done the same thing to his friends too.
That bed. That was just mean. It’s a replica of the bed in Manson & Dita’s old bedroom.
Then the prick has the nerve to pretend he’s the victim:
I was completely destroyed. I had no soul left,” the 38-year-old glitzy goth rocker says in Spin magazine’s June issue, on newsstands May 29. “I define myself as a person, a human, an artist, as someone who makes things — writing, painting, music — and I couldn’t do anything.”
BULLSHIT. He did all that and more. He had people around all hours of the day and night. He painted hundreds and hundreds - I would guess around 300 or more - paintings that *I* knew of five years ago! He had a full, commercial-quality studio in the pool house. I call bullshit on this. Dita was always very, very supportive of everything he did.
“She said she had tolerated the lifestyle because she hoped I would change and threatened to leave if I didn’t,” Manson says.
What a crock. She loved him because of who he was. She didn’t tolerate the lifestyle, she embraced and supported it.
Manson left Dita because some 19 year old piece of ass said she’d die for him. She was willing to allow him to feed off her youth and play servant to his whims and his ego. Dita was her own woman, and he can’t stand independent thought for very long. Not to mention - and this is obvious to everyone - MID. LIFE. CRISIS.
But forget all that. Jesus Horatio Christmas dry-humping a cross, that song is bloody awful! The video does nothing to help. It’s artistically and emotionally empty of anything. It looks like a weird Gothic R. Kelley video or something. It’s full of sound and fury signifying nothing except the fact that Manson’s getting old and decided he could grab a younger woman. As an artist, he should be ashamed of how hollow and empty it is.

The thing about Manson is that he’s like another Anton LaVey. He’s interesting and magnetic at first glance, and you even start to respect the guy and find him intelligent. Then, you find out more about the man behind the curtain and you end up feeling like the person’s just as hypocritical and phony as the society he claims to rail against, perhaps even more so.
Trent Reznor must be rolling in his grave… oh, he’s still alive I forgot. He guest starred in that Aphex Twin album… I think it’s called “Year Zero”. :P

Unattractive people shouldn’t do nude scenes with their mouths open.

One of the more amazing things I heard from him was that while he ““I define myself as a person,”, he also felt that he didn’t understand why everyone was so upset about the VA shooting.
I understand how unfairly he was accused of helping cause the Columbine Shootings, but this is way off the mark. I’ve never been a fan of his, but now really think he’s a douche.
