One of the better ones in rock music (the heavier set) has been dropped. Interscope Records has let Marilyn Manson (the man and the band) go citing poor record sales. While this is obviously an advent of the MP3 generation, it might not be bad for artists like him/them because it will allow them to explore independent means for releasing and distributing their music, which, in turn, will allow them more creative freedom. We see it as a good thing for the man that never escapes controversy and, really, shouldn’t as he is one of the few music stars standing up for something these days.
