Marilyn Mansons Provo Happening

When I first saw this picture I thought 'My,my,my, someone really's gone wacky'.

Now I'm inclined to the theory that it's a Marilyn Manson happening. Somewhat similar to the Provo happenings in the sixties.

He wrapped his face in a blue fishnet and is holding a cobra sculpture. Symbolizing the celebrity caught in the spin of fame, only being loved by their pets. - Tinkerbells or monkeys or cobras - it's not really relevant. Celebrities like pets because pets love the one who feed them - regardless. - Or - A snakebite is less painfull than the scars Marilyn Manson gets from the outside world that doesn't understand him and has laced him in a net due to misunderstandings etc.

A childish kind of psychology, though very expressive and provocative.

Whatever his intention was, I cannot let go of the feeling of Marilyn Manson being the very symbol of the horror of loosing fame. The fear of becoming a Nobody.

Marilyn Manson exposes himself and shares the most odd threads and pictures with the whole world at his websites. He gets a lot of attention. However I don't think he reads the comments, because if he did it would indicate to him that the majority of his audience has no clue.

Sadly enough with this desire for exposure he has become an addict of fame.

Cheers!
