Press Reviews Citizen's arrest: Marilyn Manson is a phenomenon with which we have to deal on a yearly basis at most. It may come as a surprise to many to find that we have a similar threat right in our own backyard, with direct access to our children on a nearly weekly basis. My family and I live in Colorado Springs, and my seventeen-year-old daughter recently asked if I would allow her to attend a Saturday-night concert of a local up-and-coming band. I almost gave my permission sight unseen, but out of curiosity, I asked the name of the band. "Vox Demona," she replied. I'm not the smartest father in the world, nor the most educated, but my old Latin verses came rushing back from high school (when they used to teach things like Latin in high school). Vox is "voice"; demona is "demon." Voice of the Demons. Of course I instantly denied my daughter permission to attend the event. But I sure went. While CPR and citizens in general are now fully and strongly united over the Marilyn Manson issue, it would be productive to continue our mission on a local level and fight so-called musicians (more like cult leaders) such as Vox Demona and bring them to the light of reason before more and more of our children's lives are damaged or even destroyed. Remember, these people are local. They could very well be your neighbors. Every day they are around your children. Imagine if Marilyn Manson lived in Denver and we had the chance to stop him before he caused all this misery in the first place. We would be foolish to wait. Contact CPR or your local news outlets to protest this local outrage. Robert Avery Sr. via the Internet Vox of the People The devil you say! In response to "Citizen's Arrest," the July 5 letter from Robert Avery, the gentleman who was concerned about the members of Vox Demonna living in his neighborhood: I grew up in northeast Ohio, somewhere between where Brian Warner of Marilyn Manson and Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails grew up, and I am about their age. I can't recall ever seeing a local news story about either of them plotting to harm someone's children or undermine their community. You see, they are artists, so they have an outlet. In fact, they had very little impact on their communities, as they were focused on honing their crafts. I can't remember hearing about Ozzy Osbourne or Alice Cooper molesting children on their way to stardom, either. What I do recall distinctly was that not a year passed without the local news reporting the scandal of some scout leader or clergyman violating an adolescent. These were the kinds of children whose parents had not prepared them for life. No one had discussed with them inappropriate touching or warned them that adults might be predators, because they were trying to protect them from learning about these dark, uncomfortable corners of our world. The adults that molested them were thought to be rigid Christians and pillars of the community until they got caught. I worry about the daughter of this letter writer. By indicating that she is wrong in wanting to see this type of musical act with her friends, he has made her more deeply curious about why the music is so dangerous. He is taking away her outlet for the healthy questioning of values that comes with growing into adulthood. I have never heard Vox Demonna, but I am sure its lyrics are not as convincing and philosophically engaging as the works of Aleister Crowley, Rimbaud, Nietzsche or the Marquis de Sade -- all of which she could easily pick up at the local library and read without his knowing. If he wants to protect her from ideas and cultures he doesn't approve of, he should sit down and have a discussion with her about his values and why he believes the path he has chosen has led him through a fulfilled and happy life. Then let her go and see for herself. Or he could follow his instincts and make sure she is never exposed to anything that makes her uncomfortable. For the summer, he could see if it isn't too late to get her into a Christian girls' camp run by some husky woman with a mullet. That will surely keep her away from the dangerous all-ages shows of the big, bad city. Troy Puls Aurora Not in my backyard: The letter about Vox Demonna grabbed my attention. I have seen the name in the music listings for a couple of years and never thought of the meaning or intent until now. Vox Demonna -- Voice of the Demon -- how much more direct could they be? When I hear the name Marilyn Manson, it makes me think of two people: Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson. I just thought it a twisted play on beauty and the beast and never gave it a second thought. Other people have their own interpretation of what it means. But Vox Demonna has no other implications that could be associated with it. The name is pretty cut-and-dried. On July 14, this band will be playing at the Bluebird to an all-ages group. I would not be concerned about this if it were a 21-and-over show, because I think adults can make their own decision. But when it comes to children, it is our responsibility to make decisions for them. We hear a lot of information that we, as parents, as a community, should be aware of what our children are listening to. I know this is a free country, with constitutional rights and all, but I don't think people should be able to do whatever they feel like doing -- especially if it influences our youth. It is my right to say "I believe this is wrong." Obviously, the protest against Marilyn Manson was not strong enough. There is strength in numbers, but where were the numbers? I read about only thirty people. I was shocked. With all the controversy, I thought it would be more. If I had known that, I would have been there myself. But I looked at Marilyn Manson as a one-time thing. As Robert Avery says in his letter, this is "our own backyard." This can affect me and my family. I could be overreacting, but it seems I am not the only one. Sylvia Rosenburg via the Internet The parent trap: Let's blame everything on Manson and every other "evil" band out there so that parents don't have to take any responsibility for their children's actions. I am a parent and I work with children, and each day, most of the kids I see with problems have one thing in common, and it isn't the music they listen to. It's their parents. Parents are constantly blaming everything from the school system to musicians to video games to Hollywood for their kids' actions. Get real! And you, Robert Avery, with all your high morals, are you teaching your daughter personal responsibility? I am glad that you at least went to the show and checked it out to see what your daughter was doing. That's more than most parents do, and you have every right not to want her to go. But please, don't start blaming music for all that is going on today. I think it goes much deeper than that, and I think you know that, too. So let's not jump on the bandwagon -- no pun intended.
