A Thought

I was watching Michael Moore's Bowling for Columbine for the first time and saw his interview with Marilyn Manson, whose music was cited as an influence on the two young killers. During the interview Mr. Moore allowed the musician ample opportunity to defend his music and even informed him of the number of bombs dropped by US forces on the day of the shooting. Yet one thing Mr. Moore failed to do was to ask the musician why members of his band had taken names from notorious serial killers such as Charles Manson and John Wayne Gacy. I suppose Mr. Moore had not done his research properly or maybe just forgot but in the opinion of the blogger it certainly was something which should have been asked.
