In a desperate attempt to become relevant again, Marilyn Manson is setting up about 10 'Grotesque Burlesque' cabaret events leading up to the release of his latest opus, The Golden Age of Grotesque, on May 13. Mr. Manson's comments were, "They're going to see art, they're going to see music, but it's going to be like the speakeasies. It's going to be like Weimar Berlin before it got censored, it's gonna be decadent and entertaining, and I like that. I like wearing a tie."
