A few weeks ago, Rolling
Stone magazine had a special "Annual Music Awards"
issue (21Jan99) and the Paul Hunter-directed video The Dope Show
by Marilyn Manson was named Video of the Year. Paul Hunter
had this to say about the video:
"My favorite part was the stuff
with [Manson] on television, because that was just me and him in his
living room, messing around with a video camera. I expected him to be
this really dark, scary guy, but I found him to be very shy. The first
time I went to his house, it was just him and Twiggy and his dogs. We
sat on the floor and looked through old abstract-art books and these
really odd European movies. He's one of the smartest guys I've worked
with in a while."
