Music lost to history: Alice Cooper: Roses on White Lace
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. Is It Porn? The last entry, Was.com was not porn. Now for a tough one. Breast.com. What do you think, is it porn? No, it is not porn.

I must admit that I was a little bit disappointed that the Republicans didn't have Osama in a freezer somewhere, with hopes of thawing him out just in time for the
election. Yet I still think that it is quite timely that he happens to turn up just now. It would be damn near 'un-American' to say that I was pretty sure that he would either be caught, or killed
right about the same time as the elections in the U.S. Thankfully, I have been proven wrong. It will take weeks to seriously authenticate the source of the latest video, and by then the election will be over
and done with. Does that mean that the administration knew it was going to happen (honestly now, every liberal in America was expecting something like this), or is it just another in a string of 'strange coincidences' since
dubya stumbled into office?
The thing about this latest 'Bin Laden' video is that it is just so timely. I am a tad surprised that neither of our presidential candidates had a good speech prepared for this eventuality. Perhaps he (Osama) aired his video a day
early? I certainly do love the message, though, which is; 'We control your safety, not your president'. You really have to understand that that is true before you can try to make a war against Islamic Terrorists. They would just as soon kill the ideals of American Society, as well as the people that represent it,
as look at it. Any 'Scare' that they can get out of us is a victory to them.
Whether the latest tape was staged, taken out of context, or filmed a couple of years ago really doesn't matter. What matters is that we (the american people) get out and cast a vote. Regardless of who is in office at this time next year, the terrorists will roam free. Regardless of who happens to win the election, the same will be true. Isn't it about time
that we get someone into office that doesn't think whoopy cushions are funny?
I do apologize, all that I have on my mind is political, and I don't want to descend that slope. Perhaps the Megadeth concert tomorrow will put me back in my place.
