:44:01
They had turned
into little monsters.
:44:05
But who was to blame?
:44:07
All the experts had an answer.
:44:09
- Angry, heavy-metal subculture.
:44:12
- Where were the parents?
- Violent movies.
:44:15
- "South Park." - Video games.
- Television. - Entertainment.
:44:18
- Satan. - Cartoons.
- Films. - Society. - Toy guns.
:44:21
- Drugs.
- Shock-rocker Marilyn Manson.
:44:24
[ all ]: Marilyn Manson.
:44:27
- Marilyn Manson has cancelled
the last five dates
:44:30
of his U.S, tour out of respect
for those lost in Littleton.
:44:33
But the singer
says artists like himself
:44:36
are not the ones to blame.
:44:40
- This is perhaps
the sickest group ever promoted
:44:42
by a mainstream record company.
:44:44
"I'm not a slave
:44:47
"to a god
:44:48
"that doesn't exist"
:44:51
- After Columbine, it seemed
:44:53
that the entire focus
on why the shootings occurred
:44:56
was because the killers
:44:57
listened to Marilyn Manson.
:44:59
Two years after Columbine,
:45:01
Manson finally returned
to Denver.
:45:04
- The Oz Fest
at Mile High Stadium
:45:06
brings shock-rocker Marilyn
Manson to Denver tomorrow.
:45:08
- There were protests
from the religious right.
:45:11
But I thought I'd go
and talk with him myself.
:45:14
- When I was a kid growing up,
music was the escape.
:45:16
That's the only thing
:45:18
that had no judgements.
You can put on a record
:45:22
and it's not gonna yell at you
for dressing the way you do.
:45:26
It's gonna make you
feel better about it.
:45:28
- Some will be so brash
to ask if we believe
:45:31
that all who hear Manson
tomorrow night
:45:34
will go out
and commit violent acts.
:45:36
The answer is "no."
But does everybody
:45:39
who watches a Lexus ad
go and buy a Lexus?
:45:42
No. But a few do.
:45:44
- I definitely can see
why they would pick me,
:45:48
because I think it's easy
to throw my face on a TV,
:45:51
because I'm, in the end,
sort of a poster boy for fear.
:45:56
Because I represent
what everyone's afraid of,
