Marilyn Manson Fans: Volume Two

Volume 2 : The interviews continued and so did the 2007 study titled Studying Marilyn Manson, which was a series of combined interviews for a New York based publisher seeking a book written about the evolution of Jazz along the Blues Highway. The book title was supposed to be The History of American Rock and Roll, but the text book wasn't a page turner so the material transformed into a crime thriller known as the Marilyn Manson Murders by Pastor Paul Sherman. Manson produced music in New Orleans, Louisiana near the birthplace of Jazz. The author's research and the publisher's interest led to many trips to New Orleans. The author tells a story about an experience with the District Attorney, "They were looking for writers. I interviewed with a recruiter. I got offered a job interviewing death row inmates. They had a lot of cases. I was excited to start my new career. As I prepared Hurricane Katrina hit. New Orleans flooded. The French Quarter was a disaster. I wanted to move to the French Quarter. The recruiting agent sent me an email saying, "All operations were being sent to Houston, Texas. All inmates were being bused to Houston, Texas." The following year, the homicide rate in Houston, Texas nearly quadrupled. I am not sure if it had anything to do with the emails about the job after Hurricane Katrina."
