A long time ago, a charismatic cult leader named Charles Manson convinced several of his followers to murder some people. A little bit more recently, a charismatic musician named Marilyn Manson convinced goth and metal kids that they could co-exist, if only for a brief moment in time. The younger Manson took the latter half of his name from the elder one, who has spent the last 42 years in prison. Somehow, word of Marilyn Manson’s music, or at least his cult of celebrity, must have made its way to Charles Manson, as a handwritten letter from Charles to Marilyn has leaked to a (Charles) Manson fan site. It’s rambling and doesn’t make much sense, but then again, the guy’s batshit crazy.

It’s taken me a long time to get there from where I could touch M. Manson. Now I got a card to play – you may look into my non-profit, ATWA, and give Manson what you think he’s got coming for Air, Trees, Water, and you. Or I will pay Manson what you think Manson got coming – the music has make Manson into Abraxas Devil, and I’m SURE you would want some of what I got from what I got. It’s a far out balance. Beyond good and bad, right, wrong. What you don’t do is what I will do – what you did a sing-along, and let it roll and said how you saved me a lot of steps – I don’t need, it’s not a need or a want. Couped – coup. Ghost dancers slay together and you’re just in my grave Sunstroker Corona-coronas-coronae – you seen me from under with it all standing on me. That’s 2 dump trucks – doing the same as CMF 000007

Charles Manson

The postcard was allegedly sent last month. There’s no word on whether or not it actually made it to Marilyn Manson, but he’ll definitely see it now.
