[QUOTE="Wutang, post: 1437201, member: 2952"] I read the book like 15 years ago and what I remember was that he some bored kid from the Midwest that got into heavy metal and the other things that come along with it. His grandfather was a degenerate that was into cross dressing and spent a lot of the time in the attic beating his meat to old pornographic films. Manson's book had a scene where he talked about hiding in the room and watching his grandfather in the middle of the act. Manson's father also talked about he was going to buy him a hooker once he turned 18. His story reminded me of films like Gummo - the story of a disaffected youth living in a small town where most people didn't have much of a future so they either just go along with the path to mediocrity or they look for a way to rebel. I recall there was a quote of Manson's classmate from this private Christian school he was forced to attend talking about how she became a witch and how both her reaction and Manson's reaction was a response to what they saw as a stifling environment. If Manson was less intelligent I could have seen him becoming a juggalo or whatever the equivalent of that was back then when he was younger. [/QUOTE]
