It is kinda hard to stay up with news on the music industry, but I found something that i just had to share, because it is truly defying of the perception of Christians that a lot of (idiotic and stereotyping) people have.
[COLOR="Blue"]MARILYN MANSON CONCERT IN CROATIA DEFENDED BY PRIEST

Although religious groups in Croatia are protesting the arrival of Marilyn Manson for a concert there on August 22nd, one priest is actually defending the shock-rocker. According to Reuters, Catholic priest Anton Bobas told a Croatian newspaper that Manson would not "turn young people into Satanists and drug addicts in the two hours of his act." The cleric added that most of the people who protest Manson have never even heard his music or seen his show. Bobas himself leads a heavy metal band called Messengers Of Hope.
Although Bobas saw Manson three years ago in Hamburg, Germany, and said it was the best concert he'd ever been to, he did not recommend that anyone should attend the show in Croatia.
Christian groups are trying to get Manson's concert in the town of Pula banned, while seven other Catholic priests have offered to pay the organizers to cancel the show.

And while the ?idiotic and stereotyping? people are some what justified by the moron town?s people, the priest delivers a far more pertinent point than the morons do. It should also be mentioned that I hate Marilyn Manson, but he should be allowed to perform and do what he wants as long as it isn't like carving up a sacrifice on stage, or anything else with-in reason.
