Say what you will, Marilyn Manson is probably the smartest guy in rock n' roll.
When he and his "Spooky Kids" were first starting out in South Florida, I dismissed them as little more than a gimmick. It wasn't until I read some of the twisted and brilliant stuff that Manson (née, Brian Warner) was writing in the band's newsletter that I started to pay attention.
And once I saw them all but destroy a packed Ft. Lauderdale club for their final local show before setting off to record Portrait of an American Family -- all bets were off.
Despite being one of the few people who thinks that 1998's Mechanical Animals is a sorely underrated album from start to finish, I never doubt that this song is easily Manson's best single since The Beautiful People.
Besides, Da-Daism just works for him.
Happy Monday kids -- it's mOBSCENE.
