Thats cool but I have to agree a little bit with abel about manson and the shock value about what he does he is making money and he's making money off the kids who follow him. Simply because they are at the age of rebellion and know their parents hate it. There are ways to get your point across without wearing chaps and going naked and shoving things in your rectum on TV simply to sell records and make a living. He because of his past ties does set a bad example and no true pagan would want to be associated with him as he did worship a satan.
