I'll give clues if no one gets it right off.

"The exitainment has begun. Let the panic attacks and nervous breakdance sink their comforting cancer into the sweaty palms of our hands like well prescribed press-on nails. Our stigmata will stagnate and we will shake, shake hands like little boys- -if boys were just like puppies--spreading our ring worms. ATTENTION MY CRIPPLING ORCHESTRA! I am your Cracked Atom!!!......drum roll please......At least our death wishes will come true. We don't even need to blow out the candles. I hear that thunder, I hear it too. It's all my goddamn Frankensteins coming back for some sick closure. Listen, the world can't be an opera when it needs an operation. The second coming of Christ will require more than softcore porn, mini-bar gin and Viagra. Don't ever answer the door and remember that most authorities believe that the side effects of this breeding ground of talentless chaos will not leave any permanent damage.We are the "good monsters" that are only chipped away by the banality of "enter"tainment, and our black encrusted beehives harden into hideous-honey- diamonds, too personal and nervous for idiots to hold or cherish. Only your love is uncanny and only you can feel that all of our art is muscle. Your beauty will be edible or it will not be beauty at all---no salvation and no forgiveness. We are the ones with the bloody knuckles.
It has taken ten years, boys and girls to climb this ugly hill and these are the Songs of Golgotha. We have put together the best of what we have made and this is only a reminder that you can cut off the head but it only grows back harder. The band is in the studio, still growing and there is no sign of our knuckles healing."

6. Not to rain on your parade, the Internet IS MY BRAIN on speed!

Other things I've research today:

What play does the song "I Whistle A Happy Tune" come from. (It isn't "The Sound of Music" (bought a little picture with a musicbox attached today and couldn't remember)

A bunch of telephone numbers and addresses.

Stuff about Romania from another thread.

Information on the upcoming movie "Grizzly Man"

My husband is working on some photographs.

Isn't life grand on the World Wide Web?

W-O-W...

In peace,

Radio Lady

8. Yet another interesting artist consumed by his own ego.

"Antichrist Superstar" was obviously all that he had in him. Too bad, but that's how it goes. You can only live on one idea for so long.

9. I just wonder what makes him tick.

I mean, it's obviously an act, but I wonder what he's like when he's just sitting around his house and stuff.

I read that journal entry and thought "Oh I am WAY too sober to make sense of this!"

:rofl:

10. Jenna Jameson's autobiography had some interesting...

...mentions of what he's like in real life. Apparently he's a pretty strange fellow all the time. He takes the stage persona pretty far into his personal life. Definitely a different cat.
