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.

Yesterday's missed post can be blamed directly on Roller Coaster Tycoon. I took the liberty of breaking the EULA so that I could install it on both of the pc's here in the house, since I recently
gifted my wife the Age of Mythology game (since she seemed to love the Age of Empires game so much). After that point, I was playing the roller coaster game
and not typing much at all. It seems I have grown accustomed to the split keyboard, while I can still type on a normal keyboard, the typos would be horrendous. Well, that and I really wanted to keep playing the game anyway.
Pick any of those excuses and take it to heart, 'cause that was the real reason... Now, on to bigger
• Interesting article in the news, or not. I do suppose that it would depend a lot on your personal
religious beliefs. No need to link to it here, since the story itself only seeded a thought in my mind and has nothing to do with the story that
I happened to see the quote in. While I don't remember the quote verbatim, it went something like this:
That is a very good argument. Unless you happen to be talking to someone who is not religious. You see, I am not religious, and as such, I would lie with my hand
on a copy of the 'Holy Bible' without a second thought. Is there really someone, anyone, out there that is so naive that they think that a person who would openly break
'God's Commandments', would admit to it if they had their hand on a bible? Like you kill 39 women, then deny all of the crimes, but the second you put your hand on the bible
you start saying you killed them all? Yes, interrogate him under oath...No one lies, ever...
Lest you all start thinking that I don't believe in god, I offer you this tidbit. I don't believe in god, it is a sham that organized religion created
to get you to give them money. Yet, when I do commit the mortal sins, I ask for forgiveness to cover my tracks. That is religion in action! Instant gratification for hell-bound practices...Damn, I may be Republican after all...
• Thanksgiving is tomorrow, in the U.S., and everyone is celebrating it. My number one question is why the 'native
americans' are celebrating it. Was this the last holiday they had before the white man started killing their warriors, raping their women, and forcing them into the
reservations that they eventually made it into? Is the 'white man' remembered fondly for his ability to trade vodka for gold?
• My mind is in a bit of a flurry right now, please excuse me for ending this shorter than expected.
