So would that mean Marilyn Manson is trying to go the same route?

And as what Avatar? The Mystic Hermaphrodite?

>From mtv.com:

"In a Prince-like move, Manson has also adopted an emblem to represent 
himself, choosing the symbol of mercury because of its thematic 
relationship to the material slated for 'In The Shadow Of The Valley Of 
Death.'

'The [mercury] symbol is most commonly used in alchemy,' Manson said. 
'It represents both the androgyne and the prima materia, which has been 
associated with Adam, the first man . . . '"
