To question number two: I don't know, and Manson makes no mention of it in his autobiography, <i>The Long Hard Road Out of Hell</i>, other than to list it as one of many rumors about him echoed by fans. Other rumors included him being Winnie as well as various tales of sexually explicit and violent stage antics. Actually, when I saw him perform at the Bronco Bowl in Dallas I remember being pretty disappointed with the stage show - I was expecting it to be much more provocative. Barry,

I tried to keep up with it afterwards, but basic training and then the other training I had to do left me unable to follow it. I did catch the final episode and was choked up a bit. I assume you know what happened in the end and I think that was when I realized you can never go "home" again, you can visit but home for me now is where my wife and son are. Jon Hey Denny

It's an amazing show - the word nostalgia doesn't do it justice. I am constantly impressed by the richness and depth of the messages of these shows - particularly with regard to the relationships of fathers and sons.
