EXIT WOUND: Marilyn Manson and the Godforsaken One

(When "Exit Wound" was released as a single, before Chapter 2 was released and prior to Manson releasing the artwork and commentary that accompany the song, I wrote my initial thoughts about it, titled " The Scar Left After the Spectacle: Marilyn Manson Releases New Single and Announces New Album ." Without repeating too much of what was written there, the following was written in light of the new information provided with the release of the whole album.) An exit wound is the mark left by something that has passed through the body. It is evidence of an injury, but also of movement: something entered, passed through, and left its mark behind. In Marilyn Manson's “Exit Wound,” the image takes on a much larger meaning. The speaker does not merely describe himself as someone who has been wounded. He identifies himself with the wound itself: “You shot the world I am the exit wound.” It is a strange identification. The speaker is not simply the victim of an attack; he...

An Interview With Marilyn Manson's Childhood Best Friend

    Colonel Kurtz has posted the full exclusive interview on her YouTube channel with Scott Alan Wade, the childhood best friend of Marilyn Manson. Scott discusses past experiences and shares interesting never-before-heard stories and also gives his opinion on the allegations against Manson. Scott also spent a lot of time with Manson in adulthood and discusses the evolution of Manson as a person and as a rock star, even clarifying stories we read about in Manson's autobiography The Long Hard Road Out Of Hell . He also hung out with Manson and his accuser Evan Rachel Wood on tour and has some strong opinions about her and the other accusers. Scott also talks briefly about the upcoming documentary on Manson which will be aired on Channel 4 in Britain, since he was contacted to offer his contributions to it.

What Really Happened When a Young Marilyn Manson Threw a Perfume Bottle at His Mother?

In Marilyn Manson's autobiography The Long Hard Road Out Of Hell , he describes an incident from his adolescent years that has been cited as self-admission of his violent behavior towards women, even his own mother. According to the story as recounted by Manson, when he was around 14 years old, as puberty hit, he was going through a difficult time in his life socially and personally, at Christian school and in his home, and he was increasingly becoming more and more frustrated and angry with everyone and everything in his life. He talks about living in fear of his inattentive Vietnam veteran father with PTSD, which pushed him to become a spoiled mama's boy who was overly attached to him. Manson would also be in and out of the hospital a lot because he thought he was sick, contracting pneumonia six times and having allergies to things like eggs and fabric softener. It was only years later that Manson found out that he was never really sick, and his mother suffered from Munchause...

Evan Rachel Wood Returns to Instagram and Makes an Interesting Admission of Drug Use as a "Child"

On April 24th 2024, Evan Rachel Wood deactivated her Instagram, as previously reported , and remained completely away from the public eye until she reactivated her Instagram account on June 11th 2024, nearly two months later. Whether she did this merely to take a break or not is unknown, though I explored some possible explanations in my previous post. However, it does seem like it is interesting timing that she did return when she did. Here are a few reasons why. First, the day prior to her return, on June 10th, it was widely reported that Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman were returning for a long-awaited Practical Magic sequel, and that Akiva Goldsman, one of the writers behind the original, will pen the screenplay. In the original 1998 film, Evan Rachel Wood plays Kylie Owens, the daughter of Sandra Bullock's character, and it has long been speculated that if there was a sequel, then it would focus on the daughters, especially Evan's character. And if there has been one mo...

Marilyn Manson Spotted Having Dinner With Rose McGowan

Journalist and screenwriter Phoebe Eaton spotted Marilyn Manson and someone she assumed to be Rose McGowan - "or at least, her doppelganger" - having dinner this past Sunday (6/2/24) at the legendary and very touristy Musso and Frank Grill in Hollywood. Though she made it sound like she was unsure of the identity of the woman with Manson (I'm sure she just found it hard to believe), and since a barrier kept her hidden most of the time, it has been anonymously confirmed that it was indeed Manson's ex-fiance Rose McGowan with him at dinner. Though it is unknown why they were having dinner together, we can assume they are at least on friendly enough terms to do so, which is quite significant in light of the roller coaster ride over the past few years since Evan Rachel Wood and others named Manson as their abuser in February 2021. As I have written elsewhere, we know that in 2020 Manson and McGowan were friendly and talking again, but as Evan's public testimony about ...
