I got to 2.04 and had enough of the annoying distraction. I've said it before, and I will say it again; Am I the only one who is sick to death of music being added to everything? No matter what the subject, no matter how grave, thought provoking, or poignant, someone, somewhere, decides; "Hey, this music would go well with that." PLEASE STOP IT....

No, you're not the only one. I can't stand it either. It's making me hate our species.

he reads like a high schooler. with the voice of a high schooler.

he could've added some personality to his voice. he does in his music. James Earl Jones does.

while Id rather have not had the music in the background either, what I liked, aside from the poem, was just seeing him like, well like just any other guy reading a poem, no theatrics, no over the top dramatic inflection in his voice, just your everyday average guy reading a poem.. I enjoyed seeing that aspect of Marilyn Mansons personality very much, and is precisely why I posted it.

Good poem, but I still think Marilyn Manson is a pillock.

On the upside it looks like he's putting on some middle-age pudge, and there's nothing funnier than a goth that didn't know when to quit. Even more now I find his real name is Brian.
