Re: Marilyn Manson's "Heart Shaped Glasses" & Lolita ...

Dear List,
as far as I remember, VN was never overindulgent to people
pretending to be creative, on general ground that "you live
and let live others" or that some "benefit of doubt" should
be given. As to M. Manson... well, the choice of the scenic name
is revealing, the guy considered funny/provocative/sinister
to make a collage of Marylin name and of Manson and his gang who
savagely killed the wife of Roman Polanski and many others
and by strange coincidence (in the US context)
its members are still serving
life terms (though one was recently considered for parole)
because just at the right moments the capital punishment didn't
exist in California (and was reestablished later). No wonder
when "Marylin Manson"'s attempts to creativity worn out he
is trying something desperate, like prey on Lolita...
As old ethymologies go, the word "mystery" is derived from "mice".
Best to all
Sergei
P.S. I guess since Sandy is on this Starcapital.net, the legal
notice in the end does not apply to us.
