Manson your very classy i wish i had such style and intelligence.

Answered by MM on 02/10/03:

I'm just being myself and don't assume you are any different. Class is for school though, and intelligence is not as important as how you use it. "MYSELF" is yet to be discovered...but I'm not looking.

Which of the following do you currently have - leprosy, gangrene, gout, constipation, porphyria, or lycanthropy?

Answered by MM on 02/10/03:

My art is like leprosy in that it is something people are afraid to embrace. And I am a leper because I infect those who come in contact with my ideas. Thanks so much for your heartfelt concern about my health. Everyday I die and everyday you seem to attend my funeral. Don't cry, I'm merely molting like the snake in your bed.

Dandy? DANDY? You are not a dandy. The whole Marilyn Manson image is based upon your not being a "dandy". Firstly, the term had long been out of fashion in the 30's Grotesque era- it had been fairly dead since Edwardian times. Secondly, you haven't worn a decent outfit since your mother dressed you in your childhood. When there were Dandies, they were younger than you. Men your age would have been Gentlemen. Lastly, you don't like fashionable life (e.g. opera, classical concerts, theatre) and therefore cannot be a dandy. I'd be surprised if you've listened to anything but ghastly rock music in your youth. Thank God you're trying to culture yourself now. ( REMOVED COMMENT)

I really hope you choke on your library card. You have no explanation for your misconception of late Victorian fashion. Aubrey Beardsly would love to cook your pathetic liver for me and my "dandies" to snack on between Oscar Wilde poetry readings.

You say there is no coincidence, yet the BBS Gentleman's Club which existed before the Golden Age of the Grotesque was announced were considered the 'Dandies of the BBS' (with top hats, cravats & tail coats). I believe this must be coincidence, or you looked to your fans for inspiration. What is it?

Answered by MM on 02/08/03:

I'm not sure what you are referring to exactly. I do recall a top hat being part of my wardrobe in 1994 or so and I do recall dandy aesthetics used during Mechanical Animals. I hope we are all having the time of our life. The clock hands are making fists. Let's not forget to dance.

“Use Your Fist and Not Your Mouth?” You’ve infected millions with your words. Your words and ideas have been rallied against and fought for. Mechanical Animals along with AntiChrist Svperstar touched me and millions. It made us think in different ways and the lyrics were superior: “But I’ll just suffer in a hope to die someday while you are numb all of the way.” You’re lyrics and thoughts have made people question their own beliefs and foundations. Not with “Fight! Fight! Fight!” But you were able to rally people with the intellect and wildness of the song Antichrist superstar! I miss the era’s pre holywood. The holywood music was very straight forward with little experimentation. Will we see another other side of you in the Age of grotesque? Is only your fist used? Thank you for your time, just another Mechanical Animal.

Wait to hear for yourself. I think most others use their "fist" and I have chosen to speak in tongues this time around. All I ask for is an ear. One, if you've got a bit of Van Gogh in you.
