What they should have been worried about though was co-headliner Marilyn Manson. As a total Manson fangirl, I have defended him until it hurt. I fought my mother tooth and nail as a “rebellious teen” to listen to “that guy that wears women’s clothes” and I did this because I believed in him and I lived by his music.

But his heart clearly wasn't in it this go around. I’m not sure which part of it was the most painful but somewhere between him forgetting (or being too intoxicated to remember) the lyrics to his songs, slamming the mic repeatedly against the ground, turning second verses into long rants about strippers, or going on and on about Broward Community College, you can take your pick.
