Holy Wood was a concept album released by Marilyn Manson on 2000 after the Columbine High School massacre and serves as their rebuttal at the accusations leveled at them. Their frontman has described it as "a declaration of war".
The record made numerous allegories to pop culture history to show how everyone had a participating role in Columbine: From Abraham Zapruder to the JFK Assassination, from the Beatles' White Album to the Charles Manson murders and from the Crucifixion to the Dead Rock Star celebrity worship phenomenon, Manson left no stone unturned to give america a righteous ass-kicking.
Notable themes:
1.Guns, God and Government - rightwing America's main obsession that, arguably, fucked Klebold and Harris up more than any 'rock' or 'metal' album.
2.Celebritarianism - a word coined by Manson to describe a devotion to celebrity and celebrity culture. In the album it is a religion that canonizes dead celebrities into saints in the same way the crucifixion canonized Jesus Christ into a superstar messiah and celebrity. In effect, the crucifixion is the root cause of shit like reality TV, Jersey Shore, TMZ and Harris and Klebold's desire to become famous by murdering people.
Holy Wood was never a commercial success and received mixed reviews from music journalists who said the band's artistic pretensions overshadowed the powerful lyrical indictment contained in it. Despite this, many people view it as the band's finest hour.
Kerrang Magazine: ...There has still not been as eloquent and savage a musical attack on the media and mainstream culture as Manson achieved with Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death).
Me:If you thought what Manson said about Columbine in Michael Moore's documentary was incisive, you should see how Holy Wood throws his detractors hypocrisies right back into their faces.

a wood chuck should never be judged on quantity of wood just the quality of said wood.
should a woodchuck choose not to chuck wood it is his choice and his choice alone he should not be judged on his motives for chucking said wood
the question being asked should be what KIND of wood a woodchuck chucks if he so chooses to chuck said wood
a woodchuck that chucks 500 chords of oak is no greater than a woodchuck that chucks 1 chord of cedar
a woodchuck that chooses not to chuck wood is just as much as a woodchuck as one that doesnt.
how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood

In 1988 the Associated Press reported that New York Fish and Wildlife Technician, Richard Thomas, concluded that if a woodchuck could chuck wood, it could move around 700 pounds of wood on a good day, with the wind at it's back!

in a state of confusion and/or purposelessess that aids your emotions and/or current situation, some say it helps you see the path. others may prefer to live looking at the short term as their long term situation is bleak/dire

A junior high school that has 7th and 8th graders. It’s also a one level school. (No second floor which is good!) The school is located in Tomball, Tx.
Marine: “Where are you going next year in junior high?
Zoe: “Willow Wood Junior High school.”
Marine: “Awesome!”
