With tragedies, wars, and major crimes occurring every day, it's always a little depressing to turn on the news. Let's just get one thing straight though: it's not Marilyn Manson's fault. It's crazy people still try and connect Manson and Columbine to this day. The tragedy that occurred in 1999 at Columbine High School in Colorado, when two teens shot and murdered many students and a teacher, changed the way that America looked at pop culture forever.
