From his prison cell, serial killer Charles Manson has sent an open letter to Marilyn Manson.
The musician, known as Brian Warner in real life, derived the latter part of his name from Manson’s surname and took the former part from actress Marilyn Monroe.
Several members of Manson’s band also adopted similar stage names, including Twiggy Ramirez, Ginger Fish, and Madonna Wayne Gacy, inspired in a comparable manner.
While the postcard is predominantly abstract, many of its passages carry a subtly ominous tone.
Charles Manson stated: “To Marilyn Manson, It took me a considerable amount of time to reach where I could influence M. Manson. Now I have a card to play – you might consider my non-profit, ATWA, and provide Manson with what you believe he deserves for Air, Trees, Water, and you. Alternatively, I will compensate Manson with what you think he is owed – the music has transformed Manson into Abraxas Devil, and I’m SURE you would desire some of what I obtained from my experiences. It’s an extraordinary balance.”
He added: “Transcending good and evil, right and wrong. What you refrain from doing is what I will undertake – what you performed was a sing-along, allowing it to roll while mentioning how you have saved me numerous steps – I don’t need it; it’s neither a necessity nor a preference. Couped – coup. Ghost dancers join forces, and you’re simply in my grave Sunstroker Corona-coronas-coronae – you’ve viewed me from beneath with everything resting upon me. That’s two dump trucks – functioning similarly to CMF 000007. Charles Manson.”
Convicted in 1969 for orchestrating a series of murders in Los Angeles, including the killing of pregnant actress Sharon Tate, Charles Manson is presently incarcerated in California State Prison, Corcoran.
Marilyn Manson is on tour promoting his eighth studio album, ‘Born Villain’, which was launched in May of this year.
