A short time ago, Mr. Speaker, in Colorado, there was a rock star, ``an artist'' of some sort, and I put the term ``artist'' in quotation marks, by the name of Marilyn Manson. I admit I do not have any of this person's, I was going to say gentleman, but I am really not positive what he or she or it is, I am just saying, I do not have their particular records in my cabinet. I had read something about this person's particular ``artistic'' accomplishments. I had a call one day, this was about 2 weeks ago or 3 weeks ago, I guess, from a gentleman in Colorado who was concerned about the fact that this person Mr. Manson, Mrs. Manson, Ms. Manson, whatever, was coming in, and he was concerned. Because in the past, this particular rock idol had offered to come in and do some sort of concert for the people who were responsible for the deaths of the children at Columbine High School. Hear me, Marilyn Manson would come in to do a concert for the people who killed them. There was concern about this kind of individual coming in to Colorado again and spewing his filth.
