Marilyn Manson had a very similar change. Of course his character in the 90s, and it was a character, was some sort of strange demon thing. But he later produced an album, generally regarded as his worst, in which he essentially wrote about how sick he was of that character, he's depressed and wants to be regarded as a person again. Its a very real thing people buying into their alter ego and losing their true selves. Seems easy infact.
I’m sorely tempted just to shoot you in the face for this, as I really can’t be arsed tonight. That’d be lighthearted.
Sheffield United shirts for tonight's game .... also put it up on GC to bake some gammon (and not in a pizza oven)
