"...I fear being a completely acceptable sheep in society." - marilyn manson

Marilyn Manson is a singer and songwriter known for "shock rock."  Blending elements of industrial and heavy metal music, his look and sound are meant to provoke.

Manson has made headlines over the years for his music, his fashion sense, his marriage to and divorce from Dita Von Teese, his excesses, his disagreements with his band members and his strong, articulate opinions.
