Music lost to history:
Alice Cooper is basically what Marilyn Manson has become. He sang about really taboo subjects at a time
when taboo actually was taboo. This particular tune is one that I began listening to after being dumped by the girl that I was supposed to marry
back in the early nineties. It is actually one of three songs that play back to back on most albums. Those three songs are, if memory serves,
"chop, chop, chop", "Gail" and "Roses on White Lace". I never really appreciated the other two quite as much as this one, but then I have
never hacked anyone to death, so check back later...
This song stands alone as being pretty cool just because it states the anger that I was having at the time (back in the '90s). At the same
time, it illustrates that Marilyn Manson is following the course of another very successful rocker. While Cooper's songs were not earth-shaking, they were provocative. That single fact
is what has led to Manson's success. I have never heard or read Marilyn Manson say that Alice Cooper was an actual influence on his
music, but here is an example of it from twenty years ago.

I am going to start off with the thick of it, if I get to any random thoughts I might post them below. Time will tell.
The news item in question today is Bryant Accuser Sues, Seeks Monetary Damages
I spent a hell of a long time going through my old posts looking for my mention of this case (which is all my fault, since my archives are about four months
out of date.) and I did find it. I must say that it kind of tickled my little, tickly parts when I found that it was saying basically
the same thing that I thought it had said. I will quote just one paragraph on this update, if you want to see the whole thing I wrote (which was all about Richard
Simmons getting sued for slapping a burly Harley salesman), you can read it Here. The part from this particular rant that I wanted you to see is the following paragraph, indented for ease of view; The sad truth is that so many of the cases involving celebrities are utter bull-shit that it is hard to pick through them and find the one in a hundred that is real. Take the trial of Kobe Bryant for instance. Did he have sex with that girl, yes. Was it consentual sex? There are only two people in the entire world that know the truth. I personally believe that it was consentual when it happened, then the girl realized that if it was not consentual she would be able to file a civil suit against him and get a boat- load of money. I feel a little bit more strongly about this case (though I am not actively following it) than I do about others because the woman in question turned in the panties that she had been wearing that night, and they had sperm from three separate persons in them. I am not sure if that was allowed to be entered into evidence in the case, also I guess it would be possible to rape a slut, but that really seems to take away from the credibility when she is screaming rape.That almost seems prophetic, considering this line in the news today that; The case took a serious turn against the prosecution when the judge in the criminal case ruled last month that the woman's sexual history just before and hours after she said Bryant raped her could be presented at the trial. The defense's theory is that she had consensual sex just hours after she said Bryant raped her, which could explain injuries the prosecution said she sustained. The woman has denied the defense claim.Well, I have only known one woman that was raped ( I mean actually raped, not like a "date-rape", which is just a bad a crime, but often never spoken of ). The woman, that I personally knew, who was raped didn't run out and have consensual sex with the next half-a-dozen guys that she saw. Instead, she cried into my arms for a good six hours afterwards, that was when her friends and myself persuaded her to go to the police. There might be a woman out there who is gonna go fuck anything that moves after she has been raped, but that is going to be a tough position to defend.
The girl in this case is going to have to fight a really uphill battle both in the criminal and civil courts. She is going to have to explain how she has the semen from 3 different men in her underwear. Now, I am certainly not a pundit when it comes to court proceedings, but when you have to sift through your own panties to find
DNA from the guy that raped you I think your case is pretty feeble. How did the other semen get there? Was it consensual sex with everyone except Kobe? Why did she have sex with a couple of other guys on the way to the police to report rape?
Don't get me wrong, if he raped her he should be prosecuted. The thing is that the accuser can't even keep her story straight about the rape, while the accused knows just how it went down. The most damning piece of evidence in the whole story is this: Usually, crime victims wait until the end of a criminal trial before suing in civil court, unless the statute of limitations is running out. "That's not the case here," attorney and former Denver prosecutor Craig Silverman said.That is totally what happened. If you want to sue someone for rape you should keep it in your pants for a day or two on either side of the accusation.
