>Brian Warner aka Marilyn Manson
That's a cool anecdote, he seems like a very resilient character from that era.
I'm very surprised he hasn't been canceled[0] though, considering he had many relationships that would not pass the #metoo test and literally used the N-word in his songs.
[0] Not that I would necessarily wish that on him, it's just that him having a career is fascinating in the same sense a dinosaur who somehow survived an extinction event would be.
- BizarroLand 5y agoIsn't he being sued for sexual assault and other crimes? https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/marilyn-manson-abuse-allegations-1256888/ https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/marilyn-ma...
- sonofhans 5y agoI’ve wondered that, too. I’m not sure he’s relevant enough to be cancelled anymore. Reminds me of this — https://www.theonion.com/marilyn-manson-now-going-door-to-door-trying-to-shock-p-1819565904 https://www.theonion.com/marilyn-manson-now-going-door-to-do... But as other comments have pointed out, he is being sued (again). So maybe that will do it. I’m mystified at what some people are able to get away with, and what gets other cancelled for life. I wonder of MLK or Gandhi could survive the climate today. And then wonder again how sociopaths like Trump seemingly get away with it forever.
