Upcoming Marilyn Manson Concert Stirs Croatia

Reuters is reporting that religious groups in Croatia are up in arms over the imminent arrival of shock-rocker Marilyn Manson on August 22 in the northern Adriatic town of Pula.
Protestant organization Oaza wants the concert banned, while seven Catholic priests offered to pay damages to the organizers if the concert was cancelled, arguing the band's lyrics and image promote Satanism, drug-use and violence.
Religious groups warn locals of Manson’s ‘dark persona’, recommending that nobody — especially young people — attend Monday’s concert.

Glad to see someone else out there realizes the value of "shock rock". Good points.
Wouldn't it be cool though, if after all these years, and more to come, that it turned out that Manson was working with these people all along just to hype shows. I know it's not really possible, but it would be f-you the world has ever known.

When are people going to grow up and learn.....
The reason Manson exists at all is because of people like this (he targets these people in his music) and the reason he still thrives, makes records and performs at all is because peoples fear and hate of him are a built in promotion machine.
