Hey there Xangans! It's been crazy on and offline. I think I speak for the majority of us by saying that we should ALL make a toast and wish for next month to be BETTER than this month.
T.S. Eliot was not lying when he said, "April is the cruelest month." Being forced to endure tragedies, crises, deaths, drama from friends, etc. is enough to drain anybody as dry as cement.
Yesterday morning I stumbled stumbled upon Rob Zombie's interview with Howard Stern from last Tuesday on YouTube. As I listened to the interview, it was amazing how little Howard knew about Rob.
For years, I already knew they collaborated with each other on Stern's Private Parts Soundtrack and have been friends with each other, since the '90s! Rob Zombie has been to Stern's house many times but he never knew Rob was a Vegan, until last Tuesday! Okay, how is that even possible?
For starters, I never imagined Rob as a Vegan. I always imagined him eating a nice and juicy cheeseburger or something involving meat. Discovering that Rob Zombie is a Vegan was definitely news to me. Howard Stern also didn't know, that Spider One (Michael Cummings), who is the vocalist of Powerman 5000, is Rob Zombie's younger brother! I have known this, since 1998. Hmm, I wonder what Spider's been doing lately.
Like I said earlier, while listening to Howard Stern's interview with Rob Zombie OR Robert Cummings, Stern basically asked Rob about his new movie and album.
Rob Zombie's 4th solo album just released in stores yesterday and last Friday, his Lords of Salem movie released in only 355 movie theaters. In a nutshell, Lords of Salem is an Indie Horror film.

I like and appreciate Rob Zombie a lot more for his art work and music than his films. Actually, I miss the old days when he fronted White Zombie. Over the last decade, Rob's music has turned a little soft.
Meanwhile, I remember Rob Zombie mentioned years ago, that he worked as a Production Assistant on the set of Pee-Wee's Playhouse. Supposedly, he ONLY interacted with Paul Reubens, when Paul asked Rob to direct him towards the restroom. Gotta love it!
Hmmm... I wonder if Rob Zombie ever caught Paul
Reubens jerkin' his gherkin in his commandos between scenes. I'm sorry, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to sneak in that zinger. Anyway, I digress.
Howard Stern also quizzed Rob about The Munsters (trivia), discussed Rob's little brawl with Marylin Manson (They toured together, months ago.), and a few other topics.
Speaking of that grandiose, narcissistic, piece of shit, Marilyn Manson, here is a clip of his rant while on tour with Rob Zombie.

If anyone wants to hear Rob Zombie's interview with Howard Stern, you can YouTube it.
Listening to Rob briefly explain the way he roughed up Marilyn Manson inside his dressing room made me laugh, while cheering him on.
Here's a part of Rob Zombie's concert performance with his rant about Marilyn Manson, followed by his performance of "Living Dead Girl."
Rob Zombie Indirectly Calls Out Marilyn Manson, Then Performs "Living Dead Girl" (2012):
Anybody, who has seen and heard Marilyn Manson, whether in interviews, concert performances, or wherever, knows that he is pathetic. In the past, I have seen and heard Manson, as well as read about some of his history with other celebrities.
He always reveled in being controversial, divisive, and instigating fights, then plays the victim role.
As a teenager years ago, I remember reading about Marylin Manson, Hole, and KoRn being on tour together. Manson fought with Courtney Love and Jonathan Davis, while on tour. In fact, he pissed off Jonathan so much that he waltzed on stage and punched Manson in the face.
I'm unsure if that story was a fact, or someone's fan fiction. If said incident really did happen when Marilyn Manson, Hole, and KoRn were on tour together, I wish I could've been a witness that day.
It sounds somewhat similar to what happened between Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson months ago. It's just that Rob kicked Manson's ass in the dressing room, after he said on stage, that he was going to kick Rob's ass.
If Marylin Manson would stop being such an instigating, divisive, piece of shit, maybe more people would like him. It's like I said in a previous blog about him hosting the MTV Icon for The Cure.
I like some of Manson's songs. At the same time, he needs his ego to be deflated. Johnny Depp acted like he was embarrassed to perform with his so-called "friend" on stage, last year.
Robert Smith from The Cure seemed annoyed by Manson, while giving Manson a crazy stare, during their tribute. Twiggy quit Manson's band, Rose McGowan broke off their engagement, and Dita Von Teese filed her divorce papers on his birthday years ago.
This shows people just how sickening Marylin Manson is as a person. He's not somebody I would ever want to meet, unless I were to tell him how incredibly sickening he is as person. I'd rather YouTube some of Marylin Manson's songs than to buy any of his albums.
Why should I give that narcissist my money and inflate his ego more?
Anyway, I enjoyed listening to Rob Zombie's interview with Howard Stern. It gave me a chance to learn more about him. I've been a White Zombie/Rob Zombie fan, since I was 12 years old.
If I had it my way, there would be a White Zombie Reunion. I really miss the old days when Rob's music being heavier.
It seems like once Rob Zombie got married to Sheri Moon, he went soft, musically. I suppose that happens, when musicians fall in love? In a way, it's great that Rob doesn't want any children. If he did, his music would probably turn into shit.
Anyway, I'd love to get your feedback. Let me know what you think!
