In the early 1900s Waverly Hills was a sanitarium for tuberculosis patients. Some think it’s haunted leading others to think it’d be the perfect venue for a huge death metal concert. “It was just nasty vulgar and ugly” a neighbor told The C-J. Sounds about right. Neighbors also said the concert-goers were disruptive like urinating in folks’ yards. Metal or not that’s just not cool.

Celebrated by supporters as a crusader for free speech and denounced by detractors as little more than a poor man’s. Though widely dismissed by critics his brand of metal nevertheless struck a major chord with the youth market — on the strength of a masterfully orchestrated marketing campaign he became a mainstream anti-hero much to the chagrin of conservative politicians and concerned parents. Manson was born Brian Warner in Canton H; at the age of 18 he relocated to Tampa Bay FL working there as a music journalist. In 1989 he became friends with guitarist and fellow outsider Scott Mitchell; they decided to form a band with Mitchell rechristening himself Daisy Berkowitz and Warner adopting the name Marilyn Manson. With the addition of bassist Gidget Gein and keyboardist Madonna Wayne-Gacy the group — originally dubbed Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids — began self-releasing cassettes and playing gigs their gothic stage show notable for Manson’s elaborate makeup and homemade special effects. Jettisoning their drum machine in favor of one Sara Lee Lucas the band’s sound began taking on a harder edge and by 1992 they were among the most popular acts in the south Florida area… With a cover story in Rolling Stone and a best-selling autobiography The Long Hard Road ut of Hell some onlookers doubted whether Manson had sold his soul to Satan or just sold his soul period. The glam-inspired Mechanical Animals followed in 1998 with the resulting tour yielding the live Last Tour on Earth a year later. Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death) came out at the end of 2000. The band toured to support the album in 2001 and during a July show in Michigan Manson was charged with criminal sexual conduct after performing an alleged offensive act on a security guard. December saw Manson’s version of “Tainted Love” appear on the Not Another Teen Movie soundtrack while another security guard filed a civil suit alleging Manson had rubbed his pelvis on the guard’s head. The July 2001 sexual conduct charges were lowered to a misdemeanor in January 2002 and the civil suit was dropped soon after. May 2003 saw the release of The Golden Age of Grotesque which spent a week on top of the album charts and ended up on more than a few critics’ year-end Top Ten lists.

"It really shows the public what it’s like to have a relationship with a so-called ‘food animal’ that’s not based on cruelty or commodification. This is an especially important film right now when people worldwide are calling for foie gras to be banned. "Ducks used in foie gras production are de-beaked de-toed and forced to live in confinement in filthy poorly-maintained cages or pens and have a nutritionally incomplete gruel pumped down their throats through a metal pipe several times a day. This force feeding is known to cause bruising lacerations sores ruptures and even death. It also creates the grossly oversized and diseased "fatty liver" for which foie gras is named. Gasping vomiting and struggling to move the birds endure this process every day at the end of their short lives. "The fact that the people of Chicago passed legislation to ban foie gras solidifies the city’s reputation as being a cultural mecca in the Midwest" Baur said… This is an especially important film right now when people worldwide are calling for foie gras to be banned.
