Marilyn Manson

Change in Motion

If I could have any autograph from a celebrity, I would want one from Marilyn Manson (Brain Warner). I think his music and image are both very daring, and he has made a bold statement to other musical performers of his time.

Marilyn Manson and his band changed the look of Gothic rock, as well as rooted out the closed-minded people who tried to repress them. In addition to my own opinions about his lyrics and their truthfulness, I also find his music to be simply catchy and entertaining.

After reading his autobiography, I have a better understanding of the man behind the music, and because of it, I’m even more interested with his art. The knowledge of a celebrity's past helps to really understand why they do and say things.
