MUSIC FROM SPACE: Marilyn Manson - DOPE HAT

Thursday, April 16, 2009


After his Clinton-era heyday, Marilyn Manson slipped into a rather sad, Alice Cooper-esque hasbeen-hood. He's become just another shock rocker boogieman from days gone by, and his following has dwindled to a small cluster of aging Hot Topic kids.

But once upon a time, Manson was cooking with some evil gas. Dope Hat, today's selection for Music From Space, plays like the ultimate Gen-X toddler nightmare. Manson stars as Willy Wonka, only more obviously sinister (if such a thing is even possible,) and he brings along sneering Oompa Loompas, Hoodo the Magician from Lidsville and everything else that made you want to hide your head under your Star Wars sheets when you were five. (Note that while we didn't catch anything too NSFW in here, it's possible some nudity or cursing slipped past us.)


And remember: the rabbit's just a monkey in disguise. Wise words then, wise words now.

"Science fiction plucks from within us our deepest fears and hopes, then shows them to us in rough disguise: the monster and the rocket." - W.H. Auden

Who is he, this one who is called "Greg Stacy"?

Greg Stacy began the MONSTERS AND ROCKETS blog in April of 2009. Prior to that, he was editor of the popular sci-fi/horror news website DARKWOLDS.COM. He has also written for LA WEEKLY, OC WEEKLY, UTNE READER and LOS ANGELES CITYBEAT. He always feels weird writing about himself in the third person.
