Hear, Hear!

Question: does listening to rock music result to acts of deviance and violence?

Here's Marilyn's response in Michael Moore's documentary "Bowling for Columbine."



I was impressed at how articulate Manson was in responding to the criticisms against him, though I'm not too sure about Michael Moore's objectivity here...

Anyway, let's pause for a while...
