You don’t need to become a pop star to be successful. When my ears were first exposed to Marilyn Manson I wasn’t old enough to comprehend what he was saying, though nothing stopped me from feeling that rush. I could feel a knife dragging down my back, but without making a single cut. He’s one of the most interesting, talented, and intelligent artist alive. Everyone should listen to at least one of his songs, and watch one of his interviews. Manson has never been afraid to be “the only one”. He doesn’t care if everyone is on the right side of the planet, and he’s on the left. Have you read his lyrics? Have you seen his art? Manson has taught so many people that you don’t have to be accepted to make an impact, or become successful. He teaches that being yourself is more rewarding than marching along with society. If you don’t know who he is, look him up. He has the ability to teach you something in 60 seconds.
