Manson isn't as bad as people make him out to be. The people that don't like him don't know anything about him.
You can't knock Manson till you've at least heard a full album.
Well, not only have I heard a full album, but I bought the first two. I used to really like his music. And in high school I knew quite a bit about him. I can't say I know as much anymore really because for me, knowing everything about musicians was a high school thing. Anyway, I have sinced stopped listening to him and even sold those CD's. I can't say that I don't like his music. I just disagree with his beliefs and actions. Really, when I first started hearing his music I was thinking that was exactly what I wanted to hear. I just don't agree with the message he sends. If I hear him on the radio now I change the station. Same with NIN and Tool who were both some of my favorites for many years. I can't stay away from Metallica and some others though.
