I had a dream that one day we will have a society that can blame itself for its own mistakes, and not blame the creative output of others. Columbine was almost 13 years ago now, and people still want to blame everything (music, movies, video games) to cover up someone being totally fucked up in the head.
Basic premise of the story here: girl burns house down, says rocks music has "messages" in the lyrics convincing her that her parents wanted to kill her. Who knows? Maybe her parents did have it in for her, but I highly doubt Manson supplied her with the 411 on that one.
I just hate the fact that the world would just rather believe loud music or violent video games can make someone go off their rocker. Forget personal upbringing, mental abnormalities, society, or plain bad luck. It's easier to blame Manson, GTA, Matrix, etc. Make the very idea of evil into pop culture so we can slander it in the tabloids like everything else.
If you are interested in reading the full news story, you can do so here.
Or listen to this instead!
