having worked w/lex as my manager and sam a co-worker at newbury, i can safely say he isn't even a fraction of the monster he's been portrayed as. a sarcastic, witty, facetious bastard? absolutely. do people get into drugs as a result of abusive upbringing and misdirect their hostility when intoxicated? yes. do people grow and has he for several years been doing everything in his power to evolve into a sober, wholesome and optimal version of himself for the selfless sake of his kids? yup. is he a good person underneath? without a doubt. they don't deserve what they're going thru. the person who initiated it, it isn't her first rodeo. it's sad some people will go out of their way to destroy a person they once loved in a selfish pursuit of elevating their own name. it's trending, it's the empty calories of popularity. find a catalyst, blame your entire life on a few negative aspects of their behaviour, get a key to the city. this is coming from me, wearing a ring that says feminist as fuck, me who had to convince my ex to file a report when she was d r u g g e d and r a p e d, me a person who's experienced a wide array of abuse in my upbringing and carrying into later years. me, a non/flamboyant but feminine as hell dude who thinks there's a lot wrong w/the male population. me, a fucking empath who couldn't fathom the notion of inserting myself into any woman who's body i haven't made oral love to and isn't begging for me inside her... just how i'm wired and a testimony to the notion that i find r a p e disgusting and cannot comprehend how anyone could enjoy that. in other words the things being said about him are severely exaggerated and those in support against him love to pride themselves on being all about loving all people equally, yet won't consider the mental abuse my homie is suffering. it particularly pisses me off knowing just how fucking hard it is to rise to that level beginning in providence having everything imaginable working against them. people are drawn to the most convenient truth. a young woman i worked with at another record shop recently was all appalled when i played a manson album. i brought up the fact that one of the five original accusers went on live radio for over an hour explaining in detail that the entire thing was a hoax designed by the main accuser. she wasted no time and blurted out something about how "they paid her to say it" an absolutely ridiculous and baseless presumption. i later mentioned how melanie martinez was accused by a girl on the internet of r a p e, wasting no time again she told me "the girl later said it wasn't true". side note: i believe melanie martinez and marilyn manson are both innocent easy targets. it's about ulterior motives, as no amount of healing from alleged traumas would be achieved thru ruining someone's music career. additionally, on a more positive note: back a bunch if yrs ago, i rehearsed w/the band to play keys on unattractive portable head at their reunion show, after nick came to my studio and taught me the arrangement, and we built synth voices for it. but plans changed last min and lex dislocated his arm into the second song. eddie from an albatross took over vocals. i randomly met their band in florida one night when i missed my plane then ended up moving to philadelphia where they're from, hahah. hopefully you were able to catch them live. there's nothing like their live sets. finally have all four LP's and looking for the cassettes and self titled EP pre canada songs. they deserve everything they worked for. they paved the way for so many other artists including the one turning against them. glad to see someone else of a similar school of thought. as they say in the YWGWYW streets: "here's to celebrity fulfillment!"
