...return to Manson main page. ...go back to 1999 posts.
February 1, 2000
I want to thank everyone for their generous devotion and support. It's a
gift to be able to make art and not only have people enjoy it, but to make
a living doing it.
I'd like to say my love is for creating and destroying. Motivating and
provoking. Some people think money is the reason. To me it's only paper and
a concept like gravity. I’m thankful for my success, and I hope that
everybody who bought my records feels their money was well spent. It makes
me happy every time I buy a book that teaches me something new. All I can
say is that the band and I are so proud of this new record that we can’t
wait for you to hear it.
YOUR input, research, fan mail and criticisms have all been great
inspirations, and our lifeblood.
Thank you for helping this site's transformation take place. Mine has been
coming since 1969--Apollo, the political imprisonment of Manson, Altamont,
and the death of old ways.
By your request there will be more photos of TWIGGY, POGO, GINGER and 5 up
this week along with more changes to accommodate your needs.
LOVE AND I AM
MARILYN MANSON

I am very impressed and pleased that everyone is using this BBS to express
themselves with inspiring essays and artworks. Since this Fan Gallery is
new, I’d like to ask everyone to be patient while I create the best method
to select pieces for discussion. I will NOT make this a competition because
art is subjective and I am not in a position to decide if something is
better than the rest. No one is.
I want this gallery to be a place where I choose things for us to examine
and learn from. Some may be funny. Some may be more technically superior.
Some may be primitive or simply horrible. Some may be hateful and some may
be derogatory towards you or my band. This is not a talent contest unless
you look at provocation and stimulation as a talent. I do.
I am also surprised by the extensive research some of you are doing.
Everyone is beginning to tap into the same frequency. I added a link to
brian deneke.org, a memorial page for the teenager I spoke about at Disinfo
Con. I encourage you to visit this one.
Also, I would like to clarify that my film project has not been cancelled.
I have just decided to focus on the album and the 2 books first so that my
story can be enjoyed or hated in its true form. While the book of images is
still being created, the novel Holy Wood has been written for some time. It
is not an adaptation of the script and it is not a “graphic novel.”
Although the story and style aren’t exactly conventional, it is a
traditional novel in every other aspect.
Sometime in the next week, I will be broadcasting a video transmission from
within the studio. In this I will clarify some of the rumors and answer the
questions you have regarding my record label and the aforementioned projects.
Keep creating all of the great work. A revolution is only achieved when
rebellion is realized and focused.
Love and I am,
Marilyn Manson

Hello from the gutters of Holy Wood
Thanks for those few at NYC--- and you can expect more coming your way.
they see no point in trying to come to some agreement or co-operation with humans,
as their study of our behavior towards our own planet/people/animal kingdom tells
them that
where do we go?
we will know soon enough...prepare.
