MARILYN MANSON GOES COUNTRY

ITS OFFICIAL --MARILYN MANSON CONFIRMS HE WILL BE RELEASING COUNTRY ALBUM SOON, SEVERAL PRESS AGENCIES REPORT. Although some think the move is a bit of a stretch, Reba McEntire, who duets with him on his first country album explains: "Well, here I was sitting by my lonesome at home, looking out the winder, when ol' Marilyn Manson calls me up and says 'Ms McEntire, would you like to do a duet with me on my next album?' So I says to Mr Manson, Now you wouldn't be pulling a prank on little ol' Reber would you, and he said no, he's serious, he was so inspired by the work I did with Kelly Clarkson he wanted to see if he could do as good even though he's kind of more of a punk feller he is actually a big fan of blue grass and country. I told him if you ain't yeller let's get 'er done!" Mr Manson sees the change in genres as a natural: "Talking to Reber, I mean Reba, really clarified my participation in country as the next natural step in my musical evolution. I have to admit, the nihilism thing is getting a little old. It's time for me to come back to earth a little while and communicate about things like cornbread and chicken (I'm a big fan of Allen Jackson, by the way.) Manson's lyrics on the new album are fascinating. He bridges the gap by delivering a transition rendition of an old song with the following lyrics: Beautiful People! Beautiful People! Rascal Flatts, doesn't rhyme with steeple! Manson's version of country is also tender at times, such as in his song "Party Tractor" I guess I was a little high I guess you are a little dead Sorry that I did some acid and drove the John Deere over your head And as for Manson's new appearance? "It's been my toughest challenge. I found out that a cowboy hat made out of human skin would be illegal. I'm still working on that one." Tune in later for more fascinating updates H.
