Just my insight maybe he's tired of the monster he has created through the exploitation of the "gothic/industrial/whatever" scene in general... I'm tired of little kids (and not so little kids) running around with really bad makeup because they worship the ground MM walks on. I am _much_ happier with the recent influx of petticoats and corsets in the clubs (at least in Boston, though i haven't seen it in the olde Pacific NW). A friend made the comment that perhaps it is due to Rasputina that some of the girlies are ditching all the black in favor of lighter colors and layers of linen. who knows... personally, I've always had an affinity for that sort of thing... back to manson for a moment... does change automatically mean it's going to be terrible? but I can take him or leave him... He's like the Madonna of the angst ridden youth world.... take that as you will. -Posbina "How wide the world is. How high. And the stuff of the mind - charged, poofs and scatters like seeds and fluff. For such is the tooth of the lion. That it bares and bursts into wishes. A wish for a certain thing or just the wish to know" -Patti Smith >> ------------------------------ End of goths-digest V2 #96 **************************
