The Long Hard Road Out of Hell
night talking to the skag, who tried to masturbate me while a video of Doom Generation was playing in the background. I wished for a moment the girl in the movie, Rose McGowan, was here, and maybe I would let her masturbate me. I remember reading an interview with Rose about her fucked-up childhood and her father, who was the leader of some religious cult. For some reason, I feel like she would be able to relate to what Iâm going throughânot at the moment but in general. To nobodyâs surprise, Twiggy ended up fucking braceface in his bunk. Iâm so ashamed to be a part of this band.
     APRIL 6, 1997, NORMAL, ILLINOIS
Iâll kill anyone who thinks this town is anyoneâs idea of normal. It lets me know that thereâs a lot of work still for me to do. But Iâm kind of proud of what weâve accomplished so far on this tour. I really wanted to do that totalitarian shock-symbol thing, to create a part of the show that resembled a fascist rally, to make a statement about things Iâm against like religion and, in some ways, rock and roll, because rock and roll can be just as blind as Christianity. At the same time I wanted to create a giant piece of performance art that said that, despite everything thatâs happened with the media ana people trying to ban our shows, âI did this, and I got away with it.â How did Bowie get away with lyrics about âthe spies, the blacks ⦠and the faggy barsâ? Itâs because heâs in character and heâs criticizing a certain type of person. Antichrist Superstar isnât that at all: Itâs what everybody feels in their hearts but is too afraid to say. Itâs honest. Itâs not picking on any one person, itâs picking on everybody including myself. Weâre all hypocrites, but by admitting it, you transcend it and it no longer becomes a personality defect as it is in the people who blindly cling to their own self-righteousness. By knowing all this, you grow from it. Iâve grown from it.
I will never admit this to anyone, but Iâll write it here: The reason I havenât copped out in an interview and said, âYeah itâs just a character, this is just a concept album,â is because to me it is so much more. But in a sense it is. Thatâs why when people ask, âWell is it an act or isnât it?â itâs both. I mean my whole life is an act, but thatâs my art.
