Hard Road

"The Long Hard Road Out of Hell" by Marilyn Manson: He started as Brian Warner -- a spectacularly intelligent, extremely socially inept, utterly terrified Catholic schoolboy; his inherent distrust of authority and his hunger to provoke and rebel, along with his brilliant marketing... more savvy, made him become the Reigning Dork Prince.

What we wish he had dished: Has he ever considered erecting a much-owed career shrine to Ozzy Osbourne, Gene Simmons and Alice Cooper beside his shoe trees filled to tipping with platform KISS-eque boots. Also, how does he keep his skin so flawless under all that makeup and angst?
