: Wait, Manson did what with the who?
Most everyone who knows me will be very shocked by the following conversation...
To set the scene: I was idly surfing the internet, looking for new computer wallpaper. After all, I have now seen the new Trek movie twice, and have yet to snag any wallpaper from it! One of my friends IMs me.
Immediately, she says, "hey, have you heard Manson's new album?"
And my response... "New album?"
Her - "Yeah, it came out last week."
Of course, I had no idea. I had no idea he was working on an album. No idea he broke up with his girlfriend. No idea Twiggy rejoined the band on a permanent basis. No idea Gidget Gein died last year of a heroin overdose. No idea there was a new music video out already. No idea he's already set Texas dates for the next tour (August 15th for Dallas, btw.)
Her, again - "Don't worry too much. I didn't know about it either."
She linked me to Youtube, where people had posted clips of the song with lyrics. Some were rather weird, but some of them I really did like. But all the while, I'm thinking about how I never even knew it existed. A few years ago, if Manson even breathed funny, I knew about it. Now... Maybe it's a sign that we've all grown up. Moved on.
Of course, then she adds, "Are you going to buy it?"
Me - "...Probably."
Then again, maybe some things only change a little bit... After all I was caught singing 'Rock is Dead' in the shower. I was just replacing the word 'Rock' with the word 'Spock.' Hey! It fits and it's funny!!
