Q&A
From kinderfiend on 03/21/03:
Mr Manson,what impact on the world would you like The Golden Age Of Grotesque
to have? What reaction are you hoping to provoke?
I can tell that you are very proud of this record and that you have worked
long and hard at it.I hope we can all enjoy it's effects.

I am the hated enemy of all one-dimensional realities.
"Now" is not a demand OF art, lookig to the TRUE LEGISLATORS OF HUMANITY---
ARTISTS---to explain or choose sides when there are none to be found!
"Now" is demand FOR art!
We are an idea...that is always becoming what is the opposite of our
surroundings.
THAT is our side and THAT is our place.
"War is eternal..." it is said.
For those who missed my essay from last month---

"Putting Holes Into Happiness"
Kneel down humble men and become the height of our children.
Let your heart craw into your knee
and realize that all knowledge lives through imagination.
This is the nursery business, always get a photocopy.
Our cultures may continue to disintegrate
but we just rebuild with abusement parks,
filming the process and replaying it as situaion comedy.
We wear ribbons, hold hands, celebrate and concentrate on camps
that train our kindergartens to shout out "star-spangled" banter.
We will medicate the lunacy of "degenerate" art with heavy doses
of old-fashioned (original recipe) family virtues.
"Let's make sure all of these offensive forms of entertainment
are shown publicly, and burned immediately as a warning to us all!"
In the meantime, try to stay conscious.
We are sitting in the EMERGENCY ROOM waiting for the doctor,
a newly elected aesthetician, to come and pronounce his diagnosis.
The grotesque, malignant cancer that is our expressions and
our views is no longer the disease.
We are being told that the sounds and images of art are now
the symptoms of the creator.
We as the artists, are now considered unhealthy and incurable.
Let me remind you that the deformed scar of one man,
is "love's pretty dimple" to me.
The generation that lived through WWII accepted the concept of "total violence"
as a solution to the world's problems.
The mathematics of creative suffering and the milk of human violence are
the formulas that our grandparents bottled and passed down to our parents.
These are the "traditional" values that have built "protective,"
moral walls around our children's world.
And it is, indeed, a small world after all.
