[Skit]
— You're gonna have a bunch of angry kids
— Well, when you do go out to a club
— Wait, wait, wait
— That, you just gotta watch yourself whatever you do
— Yeah, sure
— You just can't expect to go out there and just dance and don't get touched and non-violent 'cause that's what it is
— I, I don't see how...
— If you get the music inside your soul, anything can happen. You don't play the music, you can't get it, it's the music
— The music?
— Music is dangerous
— My s-s-s-sympathy to the parents

Brian Hugh Warner who is better known under his stage name of Marilyn Manson is a musician, painter, actor, multimedia artist, and former music journalist. His stage name is a combination of the names of two American icons, actress Marilyn Monroe and multiple murder conspiracy convict Charles Manson.

I picked that (Marilyn Manson) as the fakest stage name of all to say that this is what show business is, fake. Marilyn Monroe wasn’t even her real name, Charles Manson isn’t his real name, and now, I’m taking that to be my real name. But what’s real? You can’t find the truth, you just pick the lie you like the best. As long as you know everything’s a lie, you can’t hurt yourself.
