Marilyn Manson
The things that make Marilyn Manson unique are his style and his music. His style is really creepy while his music is hardcore, profound, and controversial. The most memorable moments in
Manson's life are when his songs became big hits, and he has also been in several movies and shows.
Also, Manson had shifted his focus from music to art for a period of time. The life experiences of Marilyn Manson are demonstrated in his songs: “15”, “Better of Two Evils”, and “WoW”. Marilyn Manson, originally named Brian Warner, was born on January 5, 1969. He grew up in Canton, Ohio. He was the only child of Barbara Warner and Hugh Warner. Marilyn Manson had a very troubled childhood. He grew up spending most of his time at his grandparents house, and he was enrolled in a very strict Catholic school. When Manson was a child he got molested by his neighbor. When Manson reported him, the neighbor was sent to military school, and later killed Manson's dog in vengeance. Manson once found a fetus in a coffee jar in a lot across the street from where he lived. Manson attended Heritage Christian School from first to tenth grade. However, the fear instilled there in a sensitive youth by certain “educators” was a strong influence in shaping his later attitudes and behavior. The more they terrorized him about what to avoid in life or be forever damned, and how to conform to their extreme version of Christian doctrine, the more he was attracted to expressing his individuality and seeking out the taboos they had identified. He joined a new school in Canton, GlenOak High, graduating in 1987, then moved with his family to Florida. There he studied Journalism and Theater at Broward Community College. While at college, Manson was Assistant Entertainment Editor for Broward's student paper, The Observer. After college, he successfully applied to be a Staff Writer at Fort Lauderdale's 25th Parallel Magazine, later advancing to Associate Editor, while forming the band Marilyn Manson And

    The year was 1969, and in early August seven people were brutally murdered; words like “Pig,” “Healter Skelter” and “Rise” were found printed in blood at the crime scenes. Eventually it is discovered that the perpetrators of these horrific crimes are cult members living on the outskirts of society, led by a man named Charles Manson. But who is Charles Manson? Charles Manson is a monster, certainly, but as a monster he offers us a unique look into the human mind. This semester we have learned about the many different types of people who may engage in individual forms of interpersonal violence. Charles Manson however, provides us the case study of a man whose life revolved around interpersonal violence in all its manifestations. There was nothing this man wouldn’t do to reach his goals – he would rape, murder, manipulate, and lie - all in the name of his personal ambitions. In Vincent Bugliosi’s book, Helter Skelter: The True Story of the Manson Murders, the reader is provided a thorough explanation of how Manson developed his criminal lifestyle though the focus is on the famous murders he helped to commit as the leader of The Family and the process used to convict him. After a brief comment about the book as a whole and its writing style and content, Manson’s connections to the subject of interpersonal violence will be examined. These connections include the subjects of child neglect, rape, domestic violence, and spiritual abuse.…

    Born on November twelfth, 1934 In Cincinnati, Ohio, many people remember Charles Manson as the convicted serial killer who had become an icon of evil. In the late 1960’s Manson founded a hippie cult group known as “the family”, who he had manipulated into brutally killing others as a product of his madness. Manson was blamed for killing over nine people. Manson’s insanity could be seen as a product of lack of parenting from his parents, his brutal drug addiction, and the failure to launch his music career. Between his deep feelings of abandonment, and the lack of a family love he so desperately always wanted it is evident Manson had created his own family, not a family with the…

    Born to Kathleen Maddox the hospital he was born in dubbed him ‘no-name Maddox” because his mother was unmarried and his father was not present. Since his mother had been married to William Manson he was given that surname. Though in 1936 a paternity judgment was called on a “Colonel Scott” (who was ordered to pay Maddox $30 per month in child support and did not comply), Manson later claimed his father was the “jailhouse” (Bravin, p 49). In 1939 his mother was convicted of armed robbery and sent to prison at which time Manson was sent to live with his aunt and uncle in West Virginia. His uncle thought that young Charles was a sissy and forced him to wear girls clothing on the first day of school. When Manson was eight his mother was released from prison and he was sent to live with her and her various boyfriends and sometime girlfriends. At age twelve he was sent to the Gibault Scholl for Boys in Terre Haute, IN presumably because his mother’s newest lover considered him a burden. After only ten months at the school Manson ran away and stole a bicycle and some cash to rent a room. After a second burglary he was sentenced to Juvenile Hall in Indianapolis. During his incarceration at Juvenile Hall he escaped and was recaptured and then sent to Father Flannagans’s School for Boys after being mistaken for a Catholic. Four days into his stay there he and another ward stole a car and drove to Illinois. He was thirteen years old.

    Somedays, the world of extreme music was all I need. Punishing drones and sickening free jazz truly sounded just like how I felt. There was no remorse in this music, no light at the end of the tunnel. The chaos brought out the feelings I had for the world. My fascination with the avant-garde scene didn’t stop. While single hour-long sine-waves blarred through my room, I began to paint unorthodox pictures, read up on abstract novels and studied the surrealist ways of film and theatre. My goal was to drain that untapped potential in my mind. All that creativity that I couldn’t express in my schoolwork was in full form here. Each year got better the more I experimented with this new lifestyle. Grades went up, new friends were made, until junior year when I finally hit my stride, and was in full force to once again become a part of society that I was ready to show. It would be cliche to say that Faust changed who I was, but I feel without it, my life would’ve taken a very different and darker path. The world of surrealism in art took me to places that did not exist in this world, which in turn, made me more aware of all things that did exist in this…
