Marilyn Manson talks about Columbine's effect on his career

One thing is sure: there is hypocrisy in Time magazine putting mass killers on their covers while demonizing artists.

I enjoyed his music immensely; it's unimaginable the level of undeserved hate he would have gotten after Columbine.

I agree with Juicy Jazzy, millions of people listen to his music, but only the few who have it in them anyway commit major crimes. It's hardly related enough to justify all the scrutiny he has come under. If millions can listen to his music without deciding to shoot up a school, and only two do, then that to me proves that his music is not at all to blame.

If anyone is interested, he did an AMA on reddit the other day. He didn't say much about Columbine, though, except a small mention when someone asked him something about The Matrix.
